Jetpack
Welcome to the Jetpack Project! Jetpack's mission is to make it easy to create add-ons for Firefox using the languages of the web—HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Right now the project is developing two products: the Add-on SDK and the Add-on Builder.
- The Add-on SDK is a locally-hosted development environment that allows you to easily build add-ons for Firefox.
- The Add-on Builder is an online development environment which allows you to create and store your add-ons using only your browser.
Developing Add-ons with the SDK and Builder
If you'd like to learn more about developing add-ons with the Add-on SDK or the Add-on Builder, please visit the Add-on Developer Hub. We've listed some extra resources for add-on developers below:
- Jetpack FAQ
- Add-on SDK Documentation
- Presentations
- Tutorials
- Example Add-ons
- Add-ons Cookbook
- Additional Modules
You can get help in the Jetpack discussion forum, or in the #jetpack IRC channel on Mozilla's IRC network. If you find a problem, you can report a bug.
