As with everything Mozilla, the
first place you should look for developer documentation is the Mozilla
Developer Network. There’s an add-ons sectionthere where you will find everything you need to know about
how to develop Firefox extensions, as well as other add-on types.
There are a couple different ways to
go about creating an extension for Firefox, so I covered each in the sections
below.
Add-ons
SDK extensions
The Add-ons SDK is a set
of simple APIs you can use to quickly build good Firefox extensions. It’s what
we recommend for new developers. It should be easy to work with, especially if
you’re familiar with Google Chrome extensions or userscripts. It abstracts away
most of the XUL / XPCOM infractrusture in Firefox, giving you a more familiar
HTML and JS environment to work with.
The current approach to building an
SDK extension is to download and set up the SDK, code locally, then
package your extension (an XPI file) using the cfx tool included with the SDK.
The SDK team is working on making this process much easier by integrating it
into Firefox developer tools. Soon you’ll be able to build your extensions very
quickly, right from Firefox.
You can learn more about the SDK and
