Essentially extensions would turn into more integrated stylish, or greasemonkey scripts. amirite?

I oftenn notice that it's takes too long time for me and that why I install the extencion only when I really really want it. Extensions could be like cookies. Any site should have possibility to install extension to your browser without relaunching browser. And you could allow or don't them to do it. It could completely change the way how sites are built. For example, when you open gmail and allow their extension they could make special panel with a number of unread messages in your browser. They could add some buttons to firefox interface. Maybe it will be look much more like you opening desctop software. Firefox could transform interface from site to site adpting to what they need.

I just finished a (2 hours!) GREAT session with Myk Melez and the guys/girls from the design challenge 2009! It was really a Bootcamp! (like the tittle of the session). I hope this will be available in a more "easy" way for the not-so-developer people (some code is always necessarily).

What if the entire chrome was actually a website, e.g. chrome.mozilla.org? The browser would be just a rendering engine, and the first thing it would do when loaded is display http://chrome.mozilla.org which contains the address bar, menus, etc. The actual websites would be something like iFrames inside this chrome. Firefox extension development would then be similar to programming Facebook applications, i.e. they would be hosted on the Mozilla website. You can imagine perhaps having your own chrome at http://chrome.mozilla.org/users/{userid} which could be modified by the user via a web-based front end. Or even creating your own chrome at your own domain! What's more, you could even get a webkit or IE-based browser to display the Firefox chrome just by pointing it to your chrome URL. Any computer you connected to would then have access to your favourites, options etc just by using your chrome - as per Weave, but simpler. A rebellious thought.

There have been lots of discussions about this in recent years and the Mozilla team pretty much decided to focus on the browser. Which was probably a good move too. But it also explains why XUL has never been spec'ed, versioned and made complete. IMO that's were the focus, in terms of extension development (application development really), on Gecko should be: Create a version of XUL that lends itself to the building of any app (not only a browser), that provides a consistent layout on different OSs (without CSS hacking). Other things I woud consider very beneficial: an extended FUEL library and jQuery for Gecko (yes!). I'll say it again: XUL 1.0 and jQuery for Gecko!! That's just from the top of my hat, I'm at work.. ;) Mozilla the platform… There have been lots of discussions about this in recent years and the Mozilla team pretty much decided to focus on the browser.

Most extensions are trying to make the browser/web sites/a particular web site look or behave differently. Some kind of visual editor seems like a more powerful solution -- edit the website (your browser) to your liking and then automatically create the extension that gives you that functionality. Platypus goes a little ways down this road but is limited by using Greasemonkey for implementation.
