Most people cannot build a Firefox extension - it requires knowledge of Javascript, XUL, and a little bit of XML experience. While there are about 8000 developers and 12,000 add-ons for Firefox, Mozilla is always looking to expand that base even further.
So, Mozilla has released an experimental program, Jetpack, that allows anyone who can build a web page to build a Firefox add-on. This means that if you only know HTML, you can build simple extensions for the popular browser. Jetpack also supports CSS design and Javascript.

Pretty cool idea, I just hope this doesn't open the floodgates for a host of crappy Firefox addons...
