Personally, I use unzip to manually install the xpi from the build for
both firefox and thunderbird. This is what I do for enigmail:
# create xpi as enigmail.xpi
make -C ../thunderbird-build/mailnews/extensions/enigmail \
XPIFILE=enigmail.xpi xpi
# install the xpi; first <em:id> is the install directory
enig_dir=$(sed -n '/<em:id>/{s%[^>]*>\(.*\)<.*%\1%p;q}' \
mailnews/extensions/enigmail/package/install.rdf)
unzip -d ${PKG_DEST}/usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions/${enig_dir} \
../thunderbird-build/dist/bin/enigmail.xpi
The sed to strip out the directory is nasty, but it works.
Also, you can script the "run as root" part by running "thunderbird
-register" whenever. I don't know if that encompasses the
"-install-global-extension" switch, but I think it should take care of
the "you should run once as root" part. I never run any of the Mozilla
programs as root before using them unprivileged (but I do run
-register after the install).
