Has anyone got a simple step-by-step tutorial Mozilla plugin

Question

I am trying to create a Mozilla browser plugin for the sole purpose of detecting with javascript regardless of whether the application I wrote is installed. This was inspired by other https://stackoverflow.com/a/312960/2129/ on a similar topic.

All I want is an example of type HelloWorld, because what I need to write will be even simpler. There is a lot of information on the Mozilla website, but as a noob plugin and a C ++ starter, I'm experiencing information overload. I just need a step by step "here's how to create your first simple plugin."

I already wrote the IE equivalent by following this ATL tutorial. This is the level of leadership that I would ideally want to find.

Please note that this is especially true for Mozilla plugins, not extensions. Googling this subject provides additional extension information in addition to plugins.

Here is a step-by-step guide on creating the npruntime plug-in module using Visual Studio. When you are looking for Mozilla plugin development information, find npruntime. This is a standard plugin script supported by Gecko (Firefox), as well as Opera and Chrome.
