### Validate

`% wemf /path/to/firefox-ext/manifest.json --validate`

if it has no problem, return nothing

### Tips

#### Set custom value via `package.json`

If you want to fill columns (ex: `applications`) automatically, you should write `webextension` column on project's `package.json`.

Example

```js

{

  "name": "hoge",

  ...

  "webextension": {

    "name": 'extension-name',

    "applications": {

      "gecko": {

        "id": "[email protected]",

        "strict_min_version": "47.0a1"

      }

    }

  }

}

```

#### inherit value from `package.json`

When `name`, `version`, `author`, `description` or `homepage_url` is filled `inherit`, `manifest.json`'s field will be filled by same key name value from `package.json` (`homepage_url` will be filled by `homepage` in `package.json`)
