You have to understand that Firefox does usually not simply implement 
extensions to JavaScript. Instead Firefox is built of XPCOM components, 
some of which are scriptable by the use of XPConnect. Thus if you wanted 
to use such components then you need to learn how to write XPCOM 
applications. See

The xpcshell is a simple shell like the Spidermonkey shell but 
additionally allowing the use of scriptable XPCOM components.
