You guys are making this hard. Don't 'unzip' the package. 'open' it with
the default archive tool, edit the install.rdf file (open it with a test
editor, when you 'save' the edited install.rdf you will be prompted to
(I forget which it is) add or replace the edited file *in* the package.
Install the edited .xpi package in Thunderbird.
