This package accompanies the article at MozillaZine Knowledge Base, which can be
|
|
found at <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_started_with_extension_development>
|
|
|
|
You can use its contents as a starting point for developing extensions. Steps to
|
|
register these files in the EM are described in the "Registering your extension
|
|
in the Extension Manager" section of the article. In short:
|
|
1. Unzip this package to any location, e.g. c:\dev
|
|
2. Put the path to the "helloworld" folder (e.g. c:\dev\helloworld) in the
|
|
"helloworld@mozilla.doslash.org" file and move that file to
|
|
[profile folder]\extensions\
|
|
3. Restart Firefox.
|
|
|
|
You should see a new red "Hello world" item in the Tools menu and the extension
|
|
should show up in the Extension Manager window (Tools > Extensions).
|
|
|
|
********* YOU MUST RUN FIREFOX 3.6 OR FIREFOX 4 TO USE THIS PACKAGE ************
|
|
|
|
helloworld.xpi contains working prebuilt version of the extension, just in case.
|
|
|
|
You must change the following items before making your extension
|
|
available to general public:
|
|
1) the extension's ID in install.rdf (helloworld@mozilla.doslash.org).
|
|
(For details see <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/install.rdf>)
|
|
2) the extension's short name (currently "helloworld").
|
|
The new name must be in lower case.
|
|
|
|
********* OK, the example is working. What's next?
|
|
|
|
Follow the tips at <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Setting_up_extension_development_environment>
|
|
to save yourself time.
