What do you mean by "managing my extension's preference"?
The usual way is to put your pref file into defaults/prefs directory. The
content of the file can be as follows:
pref("extensions.firebug.helloworld.option1", true);
pref("extensions.firebug.helloworld.option2", false);
See an existing example:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/examples/firebug1.9/HelloWorld/defaults/preferences/prefs.js
Such prefs can be consequently put into the mini-tab options menu of your
panel, example:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/examples/firebug1.9/HelloWorld/chrome/content/helloworld/helloWorld.js#51
Or modified through firebug/lib/options module, example:
define([
"firebug/lib/trace",
"firebug/lib/options"
],
function(FBTrace, Options, Deprecated)
{
Options.set("helloworld.option1");
FBTrace.sysou("helloworld.option1: " +
Options.get("helloworld.option1"));
});
Or, do you have suggestions for additional Firebug API that could make
extension's life easier?
Btw. here is an example extension based on AMD modules
