I could only find few files @ http://www.filewatcher.com/m/xul_school_hello_world-0.1-fx.xpi.3185-0.html by simple googling - but these did not work on light/waterfox 40.

Have found one more link @ https://github.com/jakewan/xul_school_helloworld2. 
Tried this also - but does not work :(

Sorry the HelloWorld2(https://github.com/jakewan/xul_school_helloworld2) did work. 
The only change from what is shown in the images on documentation was - that the menu option was available under tools and not besides as shown.

This won't be fixed. XUL add-ons are dead.
