Five Essential Firefox Add-ons for Internet Ninjas
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to browsers, I have no
| loyalty. I am constantly hopping back and
| forth between Mozilla Firefox and Google
| Chrome. Why? Theyâre both great browsers
| that have real advantages over competitors
| like Microsoft Internet Explorer and the
| Apple Safari browser. Google Chrome is a
| really clean and uncluttered browser that
| is stable and performs well. For its part,
| Firefox has a slew of great add-ons
| available to make your browsing experience
| a little better. Chrome is beginning to
| amass a pretty good collection of its own
| browser extensions, but, for now at least,
| Firefox still has them beat.

A look at the future of Firefox add-ons
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently we came across some information
| that Firefox would be getting restart-less
| add-ons sooner than we expected, and it
| prompted us to take a look at the future of
| Firefox add-ons.
|
| [...]
|
| Jetpack started off as a Mozilla labs
| experiment for the future of Firefox
| extensions. It was meant to be a simple new
| way to get started writing extensions for
| Firefox using web standard technologies
| such as HTML, Javascript and CSS. The
| Jetpack system was supposed to eventually
| become an alternate -- perhaps a
| replacement -- for the current way of
| writing extensions for Firefox.
|
| Jetpacks were restart-less extensions for
| default which used the Jetpack APIs to do
| all the work. This meant that Firefox could
| make as many changes as they wanted between
| two versions of Firefox, and as long as
| they ensured that the Jetpack API doQuotees
| not change no add-on functionality will
| break.
|
| After 8 iterations, the Jetpack project
| came to an end, as the original project had
| lost clarity in its goal. However from its
| ashes the Jetpack SDK has arisen, which
| takes into account some of the lessons
| learnt while creating Jetpack.
