Step 1: Upload

• Add-on Type - By default, the add-on type will be automatically determined based on the uploaded file. You should not have to change this field.

• Icon File - The icon file is displayed next to the add-on name on its display page and is shown in the add-on installation dialog. It will automatically be resized to 32x32 pixels, keeping the aspect ratio.
• Default Locale - An add-on's default locale is its main locale. If a user's selected locale is not available for the add-on, translations will fall back to the default locale.
