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?
