HOWTO - Build a Firefox extension

Gina at Lifehacker posted a really nice rundown of what goes into making a Firefox extension:

The meat of a Firefox extension is simply Javascript - the not-very-mysterious stuff of bookmarklets and regular old web pages - and a markup language called XUL (pronounced "zool.")

Check it out, then make something awesome and tell us about it in the comments.
