I have successfully put a toolbar button into Internet Explorer that launches my program (only if the user wants it there though 
). Everything works great, no problem. But I want to do the same thing with Firefox. For some reason, most likely a security reason, the dev team for Firefox didn't make it so easy to add a toolbar button programmatically unless you make an extension. At least to my knowledge anyway.
I'd rather not do it by an extention, as I don't even want to bother learning how to make them.
Does anyone have any information on how to do this solely from VB.NET? For IE you just add a few registry keys and you're golden. I'm hoping there is a way to do it for Firefox in a somewhat similar manner that I don't know of (or can't google for). Knowing that Firefox was ported from Linux, I know that I will likely have to do this with a file, such as an extension, rather than the registry.
BTW: I'm asking here because I signed up for the mozilla forum but it's been 4 hours and I still haven't received my activation email after two registration attempts.
