We ought to have documentation for how to sign a Firefox extension. There are apparently a few people who know how to do this, but it's not obvious. (There are people at MoCo who have produced signed extensions, although I'm not sure exactly who.)

<http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Signing_a_XPI> exists, but it's not especially pretty. It probably wouldn't take long for someone to clean that up and make a respectable article/tutorial out of it.

It would also need to be linked from appropriate sections of the rest of the extension documentation, particularly http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Toolkit_API and http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bundles .

Would you be able to use McCoy to do this, or is that something else entirely?

It looks like something else entirely based on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/McCoy , although I'm not sure.

Can we say this is now covered by https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Distribution ?

For all practical purposes, probably, since Mozilla is now signing addons. It still might not be crazy to have documentation on how to do it, although maybe comment 1 is sufficient.

There is a new doc talking about this, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Distribution Please reopen if more work is needed here.
