[Barış Akkurt]

hi, i created an extremely simple addon that select a famoust quote in an
array. i completed the extension successfully. but there is an error when
submitting my addon to addon.mozilla.org

Oops! There seems to be a problem with this file...

The add-on failed a validation test: No install.rdf present.

Please correct this problem and upload your file again.

One potential problem when zipping up the structure is that your zip
program might have included the name of the containing folder. Try
zipping by selecting the chrome, defaults, chrome.manifest and
install.rdf rather than their containing folder.
