Jetpack is a project that develops tools and frameworks that should simplify the development of Firefox extensions . The project has released an add-on for Firefox , a collection of programming interfaces , a runtime environment and a command line tool that can be used to create and execute add-ons, as well as the so-called Add-on Builder, a web-based integrated development environment , which the SDK uses.
Add-ons developed with the SDK are written in HTML , CSS, and JavaScript using the CommonJS conventions. There is no need for the user to restart Firefox when installing or uninstalling the add-ons. The SDK APIs are high-level language, task-oriented, and designed to work regardless of changes between Firefox versions.
The project had previously released a tool called the Jetpack Prototype, which has now been decommissioned. APIs provided by the Jetpack prototype are not compatible with the add-on SDK.
