(Whiteboard: u=mozdev p=0 c=Add-ons) 

I found the existing pages on FUEL to be insufficient. Like, it's easier to copy and paste prefs code from the snippets than to find out what the root of the prefbranch is, where to actually get that prefbranch from, and what you get in return. After some patch reading and trying, Application.extensions.get('l10nmaster@axel.hecht').prefs.root is
"extensions.l10nmaster@axel.hecht.". Ted, would it make sense to move the default prefs in the extension wizard over to that scheme? You already have one of those, the extension title.

All the variants return types are unclear to me, too.

The pages aren't interlinked, either. Once you found out that you should start with Application, to check out prefs, you have to go back to FUEL, and go to prefs, etc.
We could certainly change the extension prefs in extensionwiz. Maybe it could even be smart and generate some FUEL-using code if you target 3.0 or better?
