Q: 

Ajax In Firefox Plugin

Hi, Is there any way to send Ajax request to server from Firefox plugin? If yes how? If no, how do we have client server communication in Firefox plugin?

I want to get some json data from server and manipulate dom object according to the client input.

I am pretty beginner in plugin programming

Regards, Jishnu

A: 

You can send an ajax request from firefox extension using xmlHTTPRequest, like in the other web applications.
