1. using directory instead of xpi

simple debug technic

window.alert("1234");

write to error console as info

Application.console.log("Hello from my Firefox Extension!, next is message");

let message = stringBundle.getString("xulschoolhello.greeting.label");
window.alert(message);
Application.console.log(message);

What XPI

The XPI file type is primarily associated with 'Mozilla/Firefox Browser' by Mozilla. This is basically a ZIP file that, when opened by the browser utility, installs a browser extension.
