The reason for the growing popularity of Firefox is its support for Add-ons.

Firefox's Addon gallery is so huge that you can get addons for anything.
With a little knowledge of JavaScript you can also build your own Firefox addon.

If you want to go ahead and build an addon here is your chance to grab free ebook on “Build You Own Firefox Extension” written by James Edwards. It covers every details required to get started with extension building.

The E-Book Covers Following Topics

1. Learn about the folder structure and file types that comprise an extension
2. Develop your user interface using XUL, and style it with CSS
3. Build functionality and advanced features with JavaScript
4. Add keyboard shortcuts and internationalization features
5. Learn how to publish the finished product
6. Receive a bonus intro to Jetpack

The ebook is 46 pages long in PDF format.

the framework for the addons would be different and i doubt they use XUL since thats a mozilla thing, but once you know javascript, css, and xml you should be good to go with making addons in any browser that has some addon framework(i think most do, dont people say chrome allows addons now too)

so it might be slightly different but the process is probably similar
