I don't recommend using ExtensionSettings until 68.1 (and 69) is released
next week. It had a bug that could cause you to lose built in addons.

That being said, answers inline.

Because AMO is used for all the different language packs, you can't be sure
of latest. It's better to get it from the directory that corresponds to
your build:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/68.0.2/win64/xpi/en-US.xpi

I'll update the docs to be clear about this.

Drive letter on Windows looks like this:

file:///c:/users/username/downloads/extension.xpi
