shimeji like Firefox Web extension need help!

Hello all,

I also want to contribute Mozilla community.

I have an idea of creating browser extension but didn’t have experience knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript.

My browser extension work like shimeji extension for chrome but i can’t find it source and also find one on:- GitHub - TigerHix/shimeji-ee: Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/shimeji-ee but don’t know much java to understand & write code.

So I am asking for your help on how can i implement my idea, means what api or example code should use for overlays image object on screen. I see some popup implementation but it remain join with extension menu button.

I see some GitHub - mdn/webextensions-examples: Example Firefox add-ons created using the WebExtensions API but not able to find similarity in my idea.

My initial effort is here

please provide little guidance!

Thank You,
Shivam

The .crx file of a Chrome extension is similar to the .xpi file of a Firefox extension. If you “unzip” the file into a folder, you can inspect its contents.

Thank you very much Sir for you the suggestion.
shimeji .crx unzip files is a little complex .class code for me to de-compile and understand that I can rewrite individually and I started few days before.

Please suggest a solution in JavaScript or HTML if something is possible. I saw some https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Browser_support_for_JavaScript_APIs API but didn’t find the correct one.

I want this extension extension as simple as possible so can make a pull request to web-extensions-examples repository.

In case anyone is interested, or wants to look at the code for reference, I just built a shimeji extension for firefox.

Here’s the link : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shimeji/

It has a few characters to choose from and I implemented some interesting virtual physics.

/ where is it now? the extension.
