"Firefox addins can be created in Javascript", It could be true "All Firefox Add ins are created using javascript" might not be not true
Javascript is not the only way you can create Firefox addin, Just like Google toolbar may not have been created using javascript.Cooloris uses something more than javascript. Coolliris probably scraps Content using javascript or so, and uses a custom plug in (or something like Adobe Flash ) to run advanced graphics.
I could be wrong though.
