Mozilla
Firefox is gaining in web browser popularity partly
because of its extensibility, giving users the option of adding any of
the thousands of Firefox
extensions that are freely available. Extension make Firefox
configurable the way you, the user, would like it to be. For example,
you can change Firefox's appearance, add a mulitude of features, and
even modify how web pages are displayed.
This
Firefox Exension tutorial, Make
Your Own Firefox Extensions, teaches you in six
illustrated steps how to create your own. Developing your own
extension is not difficult to do, as a typical Firefox
extension is nothing more than an XUL (XML User-interface Language)
file that you edit with a text editor. (In contrast, Internet
Explorer extensions must
be compiled into DLLs and then installed into the operating system.)
