Ubuntu14.04 + FF57 I only do local un-signed addon. I replaced my addon xpi file under FF extension directory with an link to the original xpi file which is in my project folder. After I updating the original xpi file, how can I reload this addon on the fly, i.e. without restarting FF?

Some addons require a Restart and some don't for them work correctly.
