What have you tried so far and where are you stuck?

If this is related to your other topic

you should look into using the Addon SDK if you haven’t already.

i am reading a book (build your own firefox extension) but its so old (2009) and browsers has been changed since that time.

in your opinion is it hard to do this task for an extension(sending URL)?
is there any similar extension ?

TBH I could have really used that book 5 years ago back when I was experimenting writing a few XUL extensions.

I like the Addon SDK much better. If you can get that installed and work your way through the tutorial you will be well on your way.

I’m not clear exactly what it is you’re wanting to do but I have little to no doubt that it can be done.

Within your deadline I can’t say, but if you’re good with JavaScript it shouldn’t take you too long once you get the knack of how the SDK works.

the problem is i am not good with java script,but now i fined out using XUL is not way that i would need. SDK is much better…
all thing i want to do is:
right clicking on a page-clicking on extension menuitem-extension send current url to my server (myextension@mysite.com)…with an Email address for feature reply.
i am looking up on some similar extensions to do that fast
