+Here you'll find a collection of modules which you can import into your extension.  The goal is to make extension development easier by implementing common functionality as reusable libraries.
+The modules here are designed to be imported with Components.utils.import().  To avoid namespace collisions with core code and other extensions, use the two-parameter form of import() to import the module's symbols into a namespace defined by your extension, i.e.:
+ let MyExtension = {};
+ Components.utils.import("resource://myextension/modules/SomeModule.js", MyExtension);
