These are .zip files; "unzip -l" works on them:

I want to be able to press RET on them in dired, and
see a zip view of their contents.

This already works for .jar and .ods, so I hoped it was just a matter of
adding to a list somewhere, but I cannot see where.

But when I tried just changing ".crx" to ".zip", I got an error:

    File mode specification error: (error Buffer format not recognized)

I guess this needs more magic than I can manage in a single cup of tea. :-(
