If you want to build a signed copy (e.g. for the non-developer release), you can do that with `web-ext sign`. You'll need some keys for AMO and to edit the application id in `src/manifest.json`. There's a helper script in `scripts/sign` that's used by our build bot and for manual releases.
#### Building on Windows
- Install [Git for Windows][win-git]
- Install [NodeJS for Windows][win-nodejs]
- Current 8.11.1 LTS seems to work fine
- Launch the installation steps described above from MinTTY shell
- Also known as "Git Bash"
[win-git]: https://git-scm.com/download/win
[win-nodejs]: https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.11.1/node-v8.11.1-x64.msi
