How do I use the webextension version?

[mzso]

Hello!
It's just a zip file that the browser doesn't install after I rename the extension to xpi because it claims it's corrupted.
I vaguely remember reading or asking about it a long while ago, but I can't find it.

So what do I do with the webextension.zip?

According to this, unpack, and open the manifest file instead of the zip archive.

No difference. I only get the extension is corrupted message.

Go to about:debugging#addons and do the following:

To be honest I can just upload it on Mozilla's addon page. It shouldn't be too hard to put that in the publish pipeline.

But that's not presistent, right?

Installing from AMO would definitely help. But a normal addon package should be installable here as well, I don't have signature check or the sort enabled in the browser. Some addons I modified myself.
