Need help with writing a Firefox Addon.

Hello!

To create a Firefox add-on, you need to take care of several things in the process:

• First of all you need to have Mozilla Firefox installed on your system.
• Then you need to create your profile on the Operating System you use by doin this : Start -> Run -> Write Firefox -P -> Press OK.
• Thereafter you need to change the configuration settings of your browser.
• Next is the most important thing to give path to your extension or add-on pointing to the directory of installation of Firefox.
• Then you need to create the necessary folders and files in this directory for add-on development.
• Then you must write the appropriate codes for creating files like install.rdf and chrome.manifest and put these files into the required folders created within the directory.
• Then you must link these files using User Interface Language or XUL as in Firefox and create common files.
• After this, you must make a note of creating folders like locale, cache, defaults, skin folder etc. within the directory and then use packaging system for installation process.
• The final step is to distribute this created add-on or extension by hosting it yourself or on addons.mozilla.org.

Hope this information helps you create one.
