+Unsigned XPI Package
+--------------------
+

+  make
+
+If you want, you can generate a file with the SHA512 checksum of the XPI package, by running:
+
+  make unsigned DEFAULTKEY=<key id>
+
+This command will:
+
+* Generate a `.xpi` file inside the `build/` directory.
+* Create a `build/SHA512SUMS` file containing the sha512 hash of the `.xpi` file.
+* Sign that file with the given `DEFAULTKEY` and create a `build/SHA512SUMS.gpg` file.
+
+You can now use the generated `.xpi` file install the package as a normal
