This book covers a lot of stuff about developing applications on the Gecko-based runtimes from the Mozilla foundation. If you were looking for a definitive book for developing Firefox extensions (AKA "add-ons"), this isn't quite it, but it will certainly help.


There are topics covered that will help you in add-on development, like how to use XPCOM wrappers and nsServices* correctly and what they can do, but they are more tailored to people who would likely use Mozilla as a basis for a desktop application.
