Extensions are small programs (or plug-ins) that add new functionality to Firefox. It can be anything from a toolbar button to a completely new feature, such as mouse gestures. The great thing about extensions is that they allow Firefox to stay small and unbloated. Anyone who requires more features can download the appropriate extension. You can even create your own extensions. Information about that will available in the future.

Recently I completed my first extension for Mozilla. It was a good experience. Though not particularly well documented, the extensibility of Mozilla is excellent. I thought I'd share a few tips on the process. I had to dig for most of this, so some of my conculsions may not be completely accurate and I might not use the appropriate terminology in each case.
