const nsgetfactory = xpcomutils.generatensgetfactory([mycomponent]); a component may implement backwards compatibility with gecko 1.9.2 by dynamically detecting which symbols are exported by xpcomutils.jsm and exporting the correct function: /** * xpcomutils.generatensgetfactory was introduced in mozilla 2 (firefox 4, seamonkey 2.1).

Preface
for example, the introduction includes a discussion of components and what they are, and the first chapter - in which you compile the basic code and register it with mozilla - prompts a discussion of the relationship between components and modules, of xpcom interfaces, and of the registration process in general.
...also many of the examples are in javascript, which is used in mozilla to access xpcom components as scriptable objects, and so familiarity with that language is useful as well.
...if you already have a mozilla build or the source from mozilla 1.2 or later, then you can use the xpcom framework available there.

Working with the History API - Web APIs
example of pushstate() method suppose http://mozilla.org/foo.html executes the following javascript: let stateobj = { foo: "bar", } history.pushstate(stateobj, "page 2", "bar.html") this will cause the url bar to display http://mozilla.org/bar.html, but won't cause the browser to load bar.html or even check that bar.html exists.
...at this point, the url bar will display http://mozilla.org/bar.html and history.state will contain the stateobj.
... if the user clicks back once again, the url will change to http://mozilla.org/foo.html, and the document will get a popstate event, this time with a null state object.

Mork
mork is a database file format invented by david mccusker for the mozilla code since the original netscape database information was proprietary and could not be released open source.
... starting with mozilla 1.9, it was phased out in favor of sqlite, a more widely-supported file format.
... the information on this page was constructed by reading the source code of the mork database in mozilla and attempting to codify what it parses as faithfully as possible.

Extension Etiquette - Archive of obsolete content
don't be redundant and include "extension," "mozilla/firefox/thunderbird," or the version number in the name.
...the mozilla extensions (inspector/reporter/talkback) believe starting with a verb is the best way.
... for example, "does an action in the browser." documentation assume that the vast majority of your users don't have inner working knowledge of mozilla.
... version numbering please follow the mozilla pattern: major version dot current incarnation dot security/bugfix release (like 1.0.7).

Appendix C: Avoiding using eval in Add-ons - Archive of obsolete content
add-on authors are strongly encouraged to update their code to eliminate all instances of eval, no matter if the add-on is to be hosted in the mozilla add-ons gallery or not.
... in order to host your add-on with mozilla it is crucial to minimize or completely eliminate eval use in order to receive a positive review and have your add-on made public.
... if it cannot be easily proven that an eval() call is benign and necessary because there are no viable alternatives, a mozilla add-ons gallery reviewer will generally reject the submission!
