Yep, OT for mozilla-crypto. mozilla-security may be closer to on-topic, but I doubt it. Did you consider the Enigmail list? This question and its answer(s) may be found in the Enigmail list archives. IIRC, it came up again in July or August of this year. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or news://public.mozdev.enigmail > I wanted to know: Is there any FireFox extension which will allow > quick/automatic 'clearsigning' of web-based (like GMail) email > textarea box content?

No, Check out the Enigmail source for an idea of the ad-hackery to get Enigmail to do its job with mailnews/Thunderbird. Doing it with navigator/Firefow would be quite a degree messier. > If none is available I am thinking of learning how to make FireFox > extensions and make a quick and dirty one for myself.

Even more so if the extension is general enough to work with Mozilla, Netscape & FireFox. > Could anyone point me to some links where I can get started on reading > up to learn FireFox extension programming? http://books.mozdev.org http://www.xulplanet.com Search Barnes&Noble or Amazon for variations of "mozilla application development". - -- John P.
