Thanks for the walk through! Never having (knowingly) used the Mozilla  
Firefox addons web site, it's all new to me (I've used the built in  
addons tool in Firefox, and other indirect links but not the actual  
addons site front end).

FWIW: The bit that caught me out was in step 1; you go through all the  
forms filling in and uploading all the files (.xo, icon, screenshot/ 
s), and it shows lots of happy green ticks. I assumed it was already  
in the sandbox, but you still need know to go back and find a previous  
form that has now grown a new submit to sandbox button.

Cool. Well, now I've made it once all the way, I'll open some tickets  
next time through for the bumps.
