About the SDK

The Jetpack SDK is an environment for making Firefox add-ons. It provides a set of tools and APIs for building, testing, and bundling Firefox add-ons.

Installation

First, obtain the SDK in your favorite compression format:

Once you've got that, just unpack the archive, open the jetpack-sdk/README.txt file, and follow its instructions.

Notable Enhancements

  • Panel API: The panel API creates floating modal "popup dialogs" that appear on top of web content and browser chrome and persist until dismissed by users or programs.
  • Clipboard API: The clipboard API allows callers to interact with the system clipboard, setting and retrieving its contents.
  • Notifications API: The notifications API allows you to display transient toaster- or Growl-style messages to the user.

Notable Bug Fixes

  • bug 581119: Firefox is now the default application for cfx.
  • bug 588461: The directories contained in XPI files created by cfx xpi now have correct permission attributes.
