Load Temporary Add-On doesn't allow me to add a folder
I have been looking to make my own extension and I am following mozillas borderify first extension document. When I go to load the temporary add-on in the about:debugging page, I am unable to upload the folder containing my manifest.js, borderify.js, and icons folder.
I looked into solutions, but everything just assumes that I can add them when I can't.

Hi
Have you turned the collection of files into a single .xpi file?
This developer article should help:
https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/package-your-extension/
That seemed to work! Do I need to do this every time I make any changes? Upload a whole new zip file every time?
That is great news! Welcome to the world of add-on development!
Yes, you will need to bundle your add-on into a .xpi file to test in Firefox or to upload to the add-ons website.
