Mozilla Gives Its Users A Jetpack

Posted by on May 20, 2009 | 2 Comments

There should be an image here!I don’t think there is any real question that Mozilla’s Firefox add-ons is one of the most compelling things to happen to Web browsers since Flash or Ajax. But at the same time, building up your own add-ons for Firefox was something of an art.

Today this changes as Mozilla has introduced a project called JetPack, which allows users with nothing more than website building skills to apparently, create their own Firefox add-ons with greater ease than in years past.

So if you are familiar with scripting for Web sites, then you should be able to jump into using Jetpack almost out of the box. And even if you are not, their tutorials section has some great tips to help newbies get their feet wet pretty easily.

    I’ve got an even better idea…quit using tax dollars being given away as corporate welfare and/or being given tax breaks. There is no reason to give any business any taxes or incentives. If this would have happened in the past and doing this now/in the future…many of these local governments wouldn’t be throwing their futures away for businesses who are getting a free ride. When everyone pays their share…everyone benefits. When the businesses use individuals to pay their share…everyone loses.

    Here is the BEST idea of all. STRIKE AT THE ROOT of the problem. Elect Ron Paul president 2012, replace the majority of congress people with LIBERTARIANS ( the REAL americans that actually understand a simple concept of respect for civil liberties, living off LESS than what ya making and paying yourself by saving, and STOP SCREWING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES!)..which is something america has NEVER had since the days of our founding fathers.

    We balance the stupid budget, we ” stop the financial bleeding so that we can FINALLY heal the damn wound”, and guess what else..bye bye IRS..BYE BYE STUPID FED RESERVE ( which is an unconsitutional group of private bankers that have one main goal. ONE WORLD CURRENCY ONE WORLD NATION and to devalue the american dollar the same ways a credit card can bankrupt ANYONE * myself included. that already happened so i SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE*) ..and guess what..then? All these businesses in the USA and KEEP their employees..HERE IN THE DAMN USA..no more outsourcing..WE START MAKING OUR OWN CRAP AGAIN!, We become SELF SUFFICIENT. sAY IT WITH ME NOW.” Self sufficient…meaning WE DONT NEED TO RELY ON ANOTHER COUNTRY EVER AGAIN.. HMM…Brazil did the same thing back in the early 1970′s regarding importing oil. LET’S TAKE A FREAKING LESSON!!

    In the end doing all of this WILL make it to where all businesses in teh USA WONT EVER have to worry about balancing their budgets or pointless stupid taxes to report..THUS EVERYONE benefits equally because the customers also WONT have to pay pointless stupid hidden taxes..thus MORE buying power for EVERYONE…prices drop and/or stabilize=HAPPY ENDING FOR THE REST OF AMERICA’S ETERNITY. PLAIN AND SIMPLE PEOPLE. doesn’t take a masters in education to know this.

    This PROVES my point about Experience versus a freaking degree and which person is more qualified for a job. EXPERIENCE ALWAYS WINS IN THE END!. LEARN YOUR HISTORY PEOPLE!
