This week we’re creating an open source firefox add-on, this not only means the license is public (MIT license) but also we provide guidance to others on how they can contribute to our project.

The most surprising thing about this project was how simple and streamlined was the extension creation process is. I think mozilla really provides us a simple way to interact with the browser so we can focus on actually building the extension and not on plumbing.

This encourages me to actually play with this more and instead of trying to make do with certain extension, simply create my own that does exactly what I want, and release it as free software in case others have the same problem. This essentially opens up a whole new world of customizability for the Firefox browser for me.
