I am developing an extension for firefox that enables users to chat with any others who happen to be browsing the same website at the same time.
The xul file adds a tool bar with a button "Enable Chat" in the browser toolbox. when a user clicks the Enable chat button, the server initiates the chat.
I went through many tutorials for extension development. They have helped. But I cant seem to get my extension up properly. Ill just put up the contents of my files for extension...pls tell me if anything is wrong...
/home/neethusha/extensions/blaze (blaze is the name of the extension)
chrome/content/blaze.xul
install.rdf
chrome.manifest

When i open the firefox in this profile, the extension is not loading...
I know my thread is big...:-( but pls do help me...

Spell out your words.
And without seeing all your code, and not having any details, how do you expect anyone here to help you?? Version/distro of Linux? What error(s) you're getting? What you see in the log files?
Best anyone here can tell you, is that your program has problems. Fix them.
I have not included the javascript yet....but even then this is supposed to display a button....
I tried copy pasting the tutorial at borngeek.com, that too without the javascript, just the basic skeleton and it did display the tutorial toolbar....
if my files do not display the button how will the javascript work anyway?
