Since it is open source, you can browse it on the internet, please note that it can be different for different operating systems.
Step 3
After you write a Firefox plugin, check it for bugs. Create a full-fledged installer from the source code, and then save them together on a removable drive so as not to lose in the future. Install it in the Mozilla Firefox browser, test its operation, and then, if necessary, post it on the Internet for others to use. Before that, be sure to check it for viruses.
Step 4
If there are any changes in the operation of the Mozilla Firefox browser, for example, when a new version is released, check the correctness of the plug-in you have written.
