Webmonkey: How to write your first Firefox extension

XUL FirefoxCourtesy of that wacky WebMonkey we all know and love is a great (but short) introduction tutorial on how to make your own Firefox extensions. Since this tutorial isn't very long, and many Firefox users will want to get more in depth, WebMonkey links to a few great sites for more comprehensive instructions and information so you can extensionize your own Firefox experience! The links provided are a bit hard to find near the bottom of the post, so here they are: BornGeek, and XULPlanet. Both instruct you on how to use XUL to craft your own tools, apps, and plug-ins for Firefox. I am pretty sure that this ability is one of the things that sets Firefox above Internet Explorer, the ability to extend the program all by yourself.
