Jetpack fires up, Firefox add-ons developed in javascript
Mozilla labs has just announced Jetpack, a new api to develop Firefox add-ons with Html, Css and JavaScript. This addition to the Mozilla arsenal will be warmly welcomed, any web developer that tried to dive into XUL knows the no end of grief it causes.
With this jewel, Mozilla bring Firefox add-ons development to every web developer out there, with mean, tha for now on pretty much anyone can dive in add-ons development. This is still an early implementation but it’s worth the look.
