Now IÕm going
to show you an extension I built for Firefox to demo the capabilities of
XUL, the Extension System, and the Mozilla platform.
This system
adds a line of thumbnails under the tab strip that is brought up when you
click on the session history section of the back and forward buttons,
showing you your session history and providing you with a way of navigating
forward and backward quickly.
My extension
adds this UI using the overlay mechanism I was just talking about, uses the
canvas control to render the thumbnails, and various other DHTML tricks to
create the sliding interface.
