Need a documentation on how to create an extension for firefox 7 from scratch

I think you mean Firefox v 70, not 7.

Add-on questions should be posted in the add-ons forum; https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons

No. I actually mean Firefox 7. I know it's very old. That's why not able to find any good documentations.

Posted the question on Add-ons forum(https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/firefox-7-extension-development/48052?u=arun1). Thanks for the suggestion and response.

I hope you get the information you need. Good luck.

Firefox 7.0 is rather old and vulnerable and should not be used online. It will likely have issues connecting to most current to all https:// sites also.

Firefox 7.0 was Released way back in September 2011, eight years ago.

Any reason why this client wants an extension for such a old version of Firefox?

Quote high, it's a complete rewrite.

Yeah, I am aware of the vulnerabilities. But he seems to have a certain case where some of his users are using firefox 7 and they are not upgrading(won't actually tell the exact reasons). Some people just don't understand. Even though I am trying to convince him to get it upgraded, I still want to get an option if it can be achieved.

There are also some docs on the mozillaZine knowledge base pages.
