[Firefox] [request] Update url

[iripu]

Please add update url in "install.rdf". I use the dev build of Youtube Center, which has the following in "install.rdf" and it updates automatically:

<em:updateURL>https://raw.github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/master/dist/firefox-update.rdf</em:updateURL>

This way it can be updated automatically even though it's not in Mozilla Addons Official repository.

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of having extension code reviewed by the Mozilla team? This would mean the extension will never be marked as trusted. I want it reviewed and marked as trusted by the Mozilla team.

Would you consider adding a dev version of the addon with the update URL? So volunteers can always check the latest version before it hits AMO.

I am still not too familiar with Firefox build... I suppose this means having a special install.rdf file for the dev version?

Looks like it. Here's a diff between the AMO and the dev version of ABP:

$ diff abp-amo-install.rdf abp-dev-install.rdf
