Best "Getting Started" Tutorial for a firefox extension developer

Question

I browsed amazon but the reviews of all the avaialbe firefox books are pretty discouraging. And the documentation on http://developer.mozilla.org is not really good either.

I need to develop a plugin that puts the browser in push mode - waiting on a socket until it receives a URL from there and displays this URL in the current tab.

What would you recommend as readings other then developer.mozilla.org

Answer 1

You want too much. There can't be a step by step tutorial on implementing every possible extension imaginable. There isn't a "Getting started tutorial on creating a push-mode browser".

If you described in more detail what you're trying to, you could get a real answer.

Right now I can only point you to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13345/firefox-plugin-sockets
