Firefox ESR can't compile one of Mozilla's example extensions. What's missing here?

I'm trying to follow this tutorial to get into programming my own extensions for firefox, but it keeps throwing the error of manifest.name not having a length property, and being undefined when I try to select the files in the firefox temorary addon page.

I did some research, and I think I should just have to declare it somewhere (even though it should already be declared in the manifest.json file), but I can't figure it out.

Is this just an example of the language outgrowing an old tutorial?

Here's the github link for a clean version of the code.
