This sounds good. I'd like to create a WebExtensions addon... but I read [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json this page]  and it said that a <tt>manifest.json</tt> file is all that's required. I tried that, did a VERY basic manifest.json and zipped it and tried loading it in TB and was told it looked corrupted!

'''Suggestion''': Could someone create a sample web extension, something like <tt>https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension</tt> ? That would be SO helpful. But I'm sure you're all too busy...

There are a number of helpful extensions here : https://github.com/thundernest/sample-extensions/tree/master/addressBooks
Also if you donwload the extension: Owl for exchange - you need to have a beta version of TB, you'll have a good example of many things.
