-If you make changes to other files -- parts of the core, such as the parser, that are not dynamically loaded -- you will have to restart Firefox.  Even in this case, there is no need for you to keep on rebuilding your extension.  Once you've run python manage.py for the first time to install the extension, as described above, you shouldn't need to run it again.  Just save the source file and restart Firefox and whatever changes you've made will be reflected in Ubiquity.
