    How to create a Firefox Extension

    By maurizio | April 3, 2007

    Firefox extensions are made with Javascript.It’s not that difficult to learn how to use Javascript; the most difficult part in writing an extension is how to “link” it with the browser. You need to know what to call and you need to know how to create the package to install it.

    I did some extensions/plugins for Firefox some time ago, but I stopped after a while because of lack of motivation (read: no one was using it, not even me :) ). Now that I have this blog I’d like to start that extension from scratch and develop it with the help of my readers (alone?).
    If you don’t know how to write Javascript code you are very welcome! This will make the project more interesting. I am planning to do a sort-of interactive tutorial on those pages. It would be fun if a lot of people will participate so we can put all different versions of the code online and discuss them here or on my brand new (empty) forum.
