479892 - Firefox keeps looking at my jars even after I change my manifest

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Dan Mills [:thunder]]

I have a devel environment where I symlink from my profile/extensions to the working directory where I keep my extension.  I use a makefile to rewrite chrome.manifest to use jars whenever I want to make a xpi.

Every now and then I forget to revert the chrome.manifest change, and then of course my changes don't take effect.  But the weird thing is, even after I change chrome.manifest back, my changes still don't show up--until I delete the jar file.

It definitely seems like something is caching the jar [contents] somewhere.  Maybe fastcache, I don't know.
