I have made several changes to the Toolbar Tutorial to support the upcoming Firefox 3.0. Here’s a rundown of what has changed:

• The downloadable files in chapter 1 have been updated to support Firefox 3.0.
• All maxVersion references in chapter 2 have been bumped to 3.0.*.
• All preventBubble references have been changed to stopPropagation, since the preventBubble call has been deprecated.
• I have unified formatting across the various chapters, to be more consistent.

As always, please let me know if you spot an error.

For the packaging step, carefully reread Chapter 7: Packaging the Toolbar. I discuss step-by-step how to package your extension correctly. There are other tutorials around the web on packaging; just do a quick Google search.

As for adding items to the main menu, I believe you can do this by adding menu elements to the primary menubar element (which has an ID value of main-menubar). If you still run into trouble, consider asking your questions at the MozillaZine Extension Development Forum. The folks there are very knowledgeable. Good luck!
