Investigating your described method, it seems jar/zip files do not
contain individual file's added/created, modified etc dates? For a
chrome file located in a jar file, nsIZipEntry would have to be used,
however the zip entry interface has no date properties or methods.

ZIP files do store the last-modified date:

$  unzip -l test.zip
Archive:  test.zip
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
        0  10-25-06 23:04   testfile
 --------                   -------
        0                   1 file

I don't know if they store any other times than last-modified. And it's possible that you can't access that information via Mozilla APIs.

If all you want to do is verify that the user didn't set his clock back, wouldn't it be easier to ask a web server for the current date/time?
