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 Add-on Builder/Add-on SDK discussion forum on AMO
• the Mailing list
• the #jetpack IRC channel on Mozilla's IRC network.

If you find a problem, you can report a bug.
