Browser extension live-reloading for Firefox
Enable loading of extensions from folders and live-reloading of extensions as you make changes.
browser-extension-reload is a server, userChrome scripts for Firefox and a Sublime Text plug-in it uses WebSocket.
When you load Firefox it will send the list of add-ons with their respective ids and paths to Sublime Text and as you make change to your files it will match the file path against the ones sent by the server.
You can have multiple directories watched for a single extension and you can load as many extensions as you want.
