Creating a Chrome and Mozilla extension and implementing it

JavaScript
1

Hi there,

How a Chrome and Mozilla extension is developed. Let say for capturing screenshots of a web page ( like Nimbus screenshot or awesome screenshot) and a small web form generated using a Chrome extension. Extensions include manifest.json file, and some other file, logic, etc.

What are the best langauges/tools or frameworks to develop one (JavaScript, jQuery, Zend, etc.). Read some articles here to develop one extension, but what if we want to go in depth of its development.Creating a Chrome and Mozilla extension and implementing it for larger audience. By large audience, I meant to say more number of downloads.

A lot of JavaScript, but I recommend the Add-on SDK for Firefox extensions.

There is a lot to it, but the documentation is good and the tutorials will get you started

I don’t know why I forgot developers.mozilla.org.
Anyways, thanks for mentioning it here.
