Did everything...step by step....in the last step PaleMoon said:

"This Add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt."

Did "zipping" repeatedly, still nothing.

Tried on Win7 Ultimate x64 and also on Win8 Pro x64. Result is same . Any idea why? Thanx in advance for any help.

Did you zipped all files and folders into one zip file
(content,defaults,locale,skin,chrome.manifest,install.rdf) ?
Avast online security in FF folder is only unpacked addon.
By zipping the content of FF folder and changing zip extension to xpi,
you're just packing it as addon.
What version of Pale Moon are you using ?
I tried one more time with Pale moon 20.1 and everything is OK.

Thanx for your help. Palemoon 20.1, yes I "zipped" all mentioned files and folders in one compressed file, using WinRAR 4.20. Then I changed extention to .xpi, did every needed settings in Avast WebRep & Antiphishing and dragged .xpi to open Palemoon.

Result is always the same :Instead of usual Palemoon installation window this error sign pope up..."This Add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt." 

Any idea? Thanx again for any help.

Maybe problem is WinRAR.
Try with right click: Send to - compressed (zipped) folder.
I believe there is that option in every Windows 7 & 8.

Thanx for your reply. That's what I did. Because I have WinRAR installed on my system, it will always open itself as default for compress (zipped) files creation. I never had problem using WinRAR, ever! Well, if you have any other ideas, just post it here.
Thanx again in advance.
