Can we write some add-ons for Firefox with .Net Framework (C# or VB) ?

+2  A: 

I cannot find any reference to .net and extensions as most firefox extensions work cross platform. (obviously there is Wine and Mono, but these are not perfect).

I found this page, which just says about using Visual Studio, but even that is using c++ and not any .net language.

It looks like you are pretty limited to XUL (XML User Interface Language).

Visual C++ uses C++ to interact with the .NET libraries

Well, I am no expert there - I am guessing then that IEtab and other Windows only extensions use c++ - .net must work then, but I certainly wouldn't know how to use it from c++!
