I don't like snakes. Actual results: js, html, css advertised as main add-on language rather than python. Expected results: just list them all and which one(s) are the main language.
Firefox add-ons are mostly developed in JS, as the documentation linked from that page will make abundantly clear. I'm not sure what you're referring to, but python is definitely not used for add-on development.

ok, what's this? "Python required to use add-on SDK" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Installation
Oh. For the SDK build tools you need to have python installed on your system, but you don't need to write any code in it or even understand what it is. The new JPM toolchain for SDK add-ons should do away with that.
