Mozilla based software is typically extensible through add-ons. There are three primary types of add-on: extensions, plugins, and themes. This page will help guide you to the information you need in order to create add-ons for Firefox, Thunderbird, or other software based on the Mozilla platform, as well as how to distribute your add-ons.
Add-ons topics
