Links to Tutorials to Build Add-Ons?

Unread post by firefoxed » 2019-02-24, 01:09

Howdy,

I'm interested in getting started with the basics of creating Pale Moon add-ons. With all the changes in what "Add-Ons" mean over the past few years I'm not sure what to Google (what information would be relevant to Pale Moon). Would some of you happen to know some relevant tutorials suitable for beginners? Not talking about introduction to coding, but introduction to the whole add-on ecosystem.

Thanks in advance!

ps: I've seen the thread titled How to create a Pale Moon targeted extension but it's not a tutorial about add-ons per se.

You can also look at other existing extensions for reference.
I wrote https://gitlab.com/vannilla/SortTabsBy and I believe it's one of the smallest extension out there, so you should be able to easily understand the structure.
