The Add-on SDK is a set of tools and APIs for building, testing, and packaging Firefox add-ons.
The Add-on SDK is an environment for building Firefox add-ons. It aims to provide a comprehensive set of tools and high-level APIs for simple development of powerful add-ons.
Briefly, Add-on SDK is a collection of APIs that will allow you to build Firefox add-ons using only the web technologies you are already familiar with.
Requirements:
· Python 2.5 or 2.6 (Note that versions 3.0 and 3.1 of Python are not supported in this release)
· A working version of Firefox that uses Gecko 2.0.0.7 or later (e.g., Firefox 4.0b7).
