Jetpack: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:45, 11 December 2024

Welcome to the Jetpack Project! Jetpack's mission is to make it easy to create add-ons for Firefox using the languages of the web—HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Right now the project is developing one product: the Add-on SDK. The Add-on Builder is now in read-only mode and will be turned off completely in April 2014. Please download your data before then. Learn more.

The Add-on SDK is a locally-hosted development environment that allows you to easily build add-ons for Firefox.
The Add-on Builder was an online development environment which allowed you to create and store your add-ons using only your browser.

You can access these products from the Add-on Developer Hub.

If you'd like to learn more about developing add-ons with the Add-on SDK, please visit the Add-on Developer Hub. We've listed some extra resources for add-on developers below:

You can find help here:
