Announcing Jetpack 0.6

We are happy to announce the release of Jetpack 0.6. Jetpack is a Mozilla Labs project which makes it possible for anyone who knows standard web skills (HTML, Javascript, CSS) to make Firefox add-ons.

Jetpack 0.6 adds two major APIs to the arsenal: a secure preferences system and the ability to add and modify menus. With these new APIs — and the numerous bug fixes since the last release — we hope to see even more innovative Jetpacks in addition to the hundreds already written.

  1. Great product and so easy to use, but after installing an add-on I created from a website I uploaded it to, Firefox started randomly crashing on me, even after I uninstalled it.

    Email me for if you want to collect specific information about this crash…

    I wanted to see if this was only happening to me. When I edit an image, I edited it, and then save, and went to file>exit and the modal popup doesn’t exit. It just goes to a website. and then i can’t exit it at all.

  5. bye bye bookmarklets, we won’t miss you!
