Installer scripts aren't written yet, so registering the native messaging manifest with Firefox and specifiying the path must be done manually:

`path` key within `app/caster_bridge.json` must be set to absolute path of `app/src/launcher.sh` or `app/src/launcher.bat`. Then, the manifest must be either moved to the correct location or the path added to the registry (Windows):

Extension can be loaded from `about:debugging` as a temporary extension.
