I am following this tutorial to create add-ons for firefox.
When I run jpm run -b "C:\Program Files\Firefox Developer Edition\firefox.exe",
the console gives me the following warnings:
1546371425561 addons.xpi-utils WARN addMetadata: Add-on @celestus-firefox-extension is invalid: Error: File C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\3f4ff82f-9dfc-4065-a6c7-7e9719d0c286\[email protected] does not contain a valid manifest(resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIInstall.jsm:557:11) JS Stack trace:

Firefox opens as expected, but the icon that is supposed to be there is not there.
I can't find anything that could help me fix that. Some said it was because of a JSONwith an invalid format but everything is clear on my side.
Could anyone help me solve this problem?
edit: Just tried with a console with admin rights, does not change anything.
The solution was just because of a newby mistake. I run firefox dev edition 65.0b7 but this tutorial works for firefox 57 and bellow.
