Note that you will not see the XPI file where the extension is
installed.  The XPI file is an installer that executes when openned
by the application to which it applies (e.g., by Mozilla as if the
XPI file were a Web page).  When properly executed, the XPI file
installs other files (embedded within it) of various types into
various locations, the types and locations varying according to the
specific extension.
