+In the future, we're planning to use the .zip file extension. We use the following manifest section for Gecko-specific data. We're hoping that most of this information can be stored only on addons.mozilla.org later on.

+"applications": {
+  "gecko": {
+    "id": "{the-addon-id}",
+    "strict_min_version": "40.0.0",
+    "strict_max_version": "50.*"
+    "update_url": "https://foo/bar"
+  }
+}

+Both version fields are be Gecko rapid release versions. The update URL points to an [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Extension_Versioning,_Update_and_Compatibility#Update_RDF_Format update manifest]. We hope to make all of these properties optional. The id would have to be generated fresh either upon local installation or when uploaded to addons.mozilla.org or Marketplace.
 See https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest for a complete list of manifest directives. The ones we currently support are below.
