Changes
Added a very simple options.xul file and a few extra options.
== Also Note ==
The list above only contains selected changes relevant to add-ons. The full list of changes can be seen at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases Firefox developer release notes] where all the details, bugzilla bug reports and patches implementing those changes can be found.
==Basic Example==
You either add OptionType = 3 to the install.rdf and get your options in a separate tab or you add at the top of the options.xul file =
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://communicator/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://messenger/skin/prefPanels.css" type="text/css"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://communicator/skin/pref/pref.css" type="text/css"?>
(That gives you a dialog box.)
