I’m curious what exactly goes into building a Firefox plugin. I’d like to create a simple on to streamline the built-in VNC compatibility. That is, you can currently type in http://{IP address}:5400 in the address bar and hit a PC on your network that has VNC software installed. I’d like to have an option on my search bar to type in a hostname, have it translate that to IP, add the port number, and open a new tab with VNC.
What would it take to write that? What’s a good resource on the web to get me started?
