Maybe some more samples/templates for people to experiment with? Looks
like you can do a toolstrip, or change the content in a page- can you
add things to toolbars? Change context menus? Is there anyway to
"reverse-pack" a .crx extension to see what makes it tick? If it is
open source, then you should be able to-- right? I also see that the
manifest.json file does not support some additional tags, like author,
or at least, it doesn't show up in the extensions page. Will that
change?

I'm not a programmer by trade (as I suspect a lot of Firefox extension
authors are as well) so for me, there's a lot of trial and error and
copious amounts of help from experienced people to get an extension up
and running. That said, I think the biggest group of people who are
going to be interested in making Chrome extension are Firefox-converts
like myself. A sample tutorial on how to port a Firefox extension to
Chrome would be super useful. I am used to the mozilla DOM and using
XUL, so maybe a quick primer on key differences? I've seen some people
in this group reference mozilla docs. How similar are the components?

So far, making the above extension is about a million times easier in
Chrome. I have the same extension for Firefox and it is much more
complex, as far as packaging and even the content is different.
