[Partially Resolved] Firefox Extension Development

Hi !
I'm making a project similar to MyBase. This program will have a feature to grab current document from webbrowsers.

For this, I've made an IE extension that can pass the document to my main application. Infact it wasn't very hard at all. Only 20 lines of VBScript code and an OCX.

Now I want to make a Firefox extension for my project. But, unfortunetly I don't know JavaScript. (I know very little VBScript) :(

Can any one please help me :

1. Need a 'Complete Idiot's Guide To Developing Firefox Extensions' tutorial. I've found some by googling, but most of them are not idiot-friendly. :(

2. How to get the document HTML from a Firefox tab ?

3. How can I get files from Firefox cache using VB ? (like WinInet APIs for IE)

4. How do I call a function (inside COM OCX) from Firefox ?

Please help.

Here is what I have found so far :

Not possible.
I'm thinking of putting the document to clipboard/temporary-file. I'll try it tomorrow.

Please, I need help here.
Any help is greatly appriciated. :thumb:

I've managed to copy text form Firefox to clipboard using this script. My app monitors clipboard and when it gets data in a custom format, it asks user what to do.

It is not a very good method at all. Normally I don't like to use clipboard. But it is the best I can do with JavaScript. :(

I'm planning to extend the program and add many more options in the extentions. But before doing that I need to learn JavaScript. :)

May be someday i'll learn it. Someday. :D
