- Firefox Add-ons:
- uses XUL (JS+XHTML+CSS)
- reference @ http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Web_Browser_Extensions#Websites_about_Firefox_Programming
- followed tutorial @ http://www.gmacker.com/web/content/tutorial/firefox/firefoxtutorial.htm
- decompiled SamePlace suite codes and see how xmpp4moz -> gtalk works.
- Add-ons usually uses .js files. The different between this and JSJac is, we dont need to have a server that serve the webpages. But users need to download the Firefox 'plug-ins', which is usually small in size. And the add-ons run through Firefox.
- Possible comm. path: Firefox -> Gtalk -> Bot
- XULRunner
- Run XUL develoment codes without using Firefox
- Similar concept to JVM Appletviewer.

- Browser-based VS Web-based
- Since Firefox has emerged as the most extensible browser ever, the term browser-based and web-based turns to a whole new meaning.
- Browser-based : What you launch inside your browser, not necessarily be connected to the internet. Ex: Firebug for debugging websites
- Web-based : Your website. Obivoiusly need to launch inside a browser with internet connectivity.
