Comment (by zyan):

 Hi! Made a quick patch to set updateURL to https://127.0.0.1 (FF doesn't
 let you install addons with protocol-less or HTTP updateURLs, it seems).
 Verified expected results with tshark on port 443 before/after applying
 the patch while manually forcing an update (right click on the addon in
 about:addons).

 Anything other tests I should run?
