Resources for Fennec Add-on Developers
We have added more information to the small, but growing collection of Fennec-specific add-on developer resources. If you’re interested in building add-ons for Fennec, here’s a list of resources you might find helpful:
- Architecture Overview
- Extensions Basics
- Code Snippets (Doing things in Fennec might be different than Firefox)
- Extensions Best Practices
The Code Snippets and Best Practices documents are new. Feel free to give feedback on any of the documents. What information or snippets are missing? Use comments, IRC channels (#mobile) or even file some bugs.
We also plan to have a few tutorials for building Fennec-specific add-ons. Fennec for Maemo and Fennec for Windows Mobile both support add-ons. In fact, the same add-on could be used on both platforms. So get out there are start building.
