Setting up an application file structure

First set up the application file structure to the following:

 /applicationName
   /chrome
     /applicationName
       your app files
     chrome.manifest
   /defaults
     /preferences
        prefs.js
   application.ini

This file structure is used on a Linux platform. If your using a different platform, please visit Deploying XULRunner 1.8 to find the file struture for your specific platform.

Notes:

Users can change the name of the italicized filename and folders
