In order to install an extension in Fennec, you need to follow the guidelines for building a Mozilla-based extension. To support Fennec specifically, you'll need to add Fennec to the list of target applications in the extension's <code>[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Install_Manifests install.rdf]</code> file. The code snippet will look something like this: | In order to install an extension in Fennec, you need to follow the guidelines for building a Mozilla-based extension.

In addition to the install manifest changes, you may want to expose your extension into the Fennec UI. Fennec does have a few familiar UI elements, such as a URL toolbar, a side toolbar with navigation controls and a browser content area.

There are some new UI areas too: side toolbar holding the open tab thumbnails and a large offscreen panel for more complex UI features. | In addition to the install manifest changes, you may want to expose your extension into the Fennec UI.
