I appreciate it…

hello everyone,
I am trying to develop an add-on to firefox for speech recognition which will enable the user to perform a search through an existing search engine.
so as mentioned in the article i will develop the extension using XUL and java script.
but what about the speech recognition part..for example lets take feature extraction..how do i implement those? should i implement those using another language and have a pointer to that in java script???

Please some one pay attention to this issue. its for my final year project

Regards,
Sandy

Very good article. I have no intention nor desire to develop add-ons, and I still acquired a great understanding of what makes Firefox, Firefox.

Why did I read it? I am trying to find out where add-on’s that have a data file, such as form entry add-on’s, etc, store the data file. I have been searching for the answer for a day or two, this time around, (I’ve given up on several previous occasions.)

If this was common knowledge, backing up and migrating/upgrading would be a much simpler process.

Why is it the simplest information about computers and software is often the most difficult to find?

Undoubtedly, this is one of the best articles I came across while I was looking at my whys, hows, and whats for my plugin development. I have read the complete article and had hands-on as well. Having done that, I still could not get three questions answered.

1. Syntax and meaning of chrome.manifest.
2. What does it mean to write chrome://browser/…?
3. Why do we leave /chrome/content when we reference any file underneath this?

Can somebody help me here, please?
