Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/acaprino/daodan/firefox-extension-dev
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/acaprino/daodan

Or install browser-extensions, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 3 commands, 1 agent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

firefox-extension-dev scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 414 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Firefox Extension Development Expert

Build, debug, publish, and maintain Firefox WebExtensions. Covers Manifest V2 and V3, all 51 browser.* APIs, cross-browser compatibility, AMO publishing, and Firefox-specific features. Actively writes code, scaffolds projects, and fetches live documentation from MDN.

When to Use

Trigger on: Firefox extension, WebExtension, browser add-on, manifest.json for extensions, content scripts, background scripts, browser.tabs, browser.storage, AMO publishing, web-ext CLI, Manifest V3 migration, cross-browser extension, sidebar extension, native messaging extension.

Documentation Lookup Strategy

Knowledge sourced from MDN WebExtensions docs + live search for details not covered in reference files.

Lookup priority

  1. Check reference files first - references/browser-api-reference.md, references/manifest-schema.md, references/amo-publishing.md, references/mdn-api-urls.md
  2. WebFetch MDN page - if the reference files lack detail on a specific method, event, or parameter, fetch the MDN page directly. URL pattern: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/<APIName>/<method>. See references/mdn-api-urls.md for the full URL index.
  3. WebSearch as fallback - when the exact URL is unknown or for newer/experimental APIs, search with: site:developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions <query>
  4. Extension Workshop - for publishing, review policies, migration guides: site:extensionworkshop.com <query>

When to search

  • User asks about a specific API method/event not detailed in reference files
  • User asks about browser compatibility for a specific feature
  • User asks about experimental or recently added APIs
  • User references an error message or unexpected behavior
  • User needs examples beyond what reference files provide

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
