Jetpack is an open source project developed by Mozilla Labs . Jetpack is an API for allowing you to developed your own Firefox add-ons using the web technologies you already know. its an open source project which means any one can participate in its design, development and testing to make him more beautiful .
Jetpack is Lightweight but full featured web-based API its means only HTML, Javascript, and CSS are tools required to developed . I am personally download the jetpack API to develop Firefox Add-ons with help of HTML ,CSS and Javascript. easily Debugged in the browser without restarting using common Web development tools like Firebug. its an Versioned APIs so that you won't have to update & revalidate your code for every time when new version of Firefox come .
Initial Jetpack APIs only support for statusbars, tabs, content-scripts, animations and much more... it also support to external API libraries like twitter , face book etc....



Getting Started with Jetpack :

  • Install and try the initial Jetpack API and demos.
  • Take the Jetpack Tutorial (although it is better to follow it inside of Jetpack, where you can edit and run the examples live)
