Body
You would create your extensions UI using an Overlay. In the overlay you specify the insertion point of your UI with regards to the main browser page, browser.xul. Excerpted from Firefox's main pages browser.xul we have <pre><code><vbox id="appcontent" flex="1"> <tabbrowser id="content" disablehistory="true" flex="1" contenttooltip="aHTMLTooltip" contentcontextmenu="contentAreaContextMenu" onnewtab="BrowserOpenTab();" autocompletepopup="PopupAutoComplete" ondragdrop="nsDragAndDrop.drop(event, contentAreaDNDObserver);" onclick="return contentAreaClick(event, false);" /> </vbox> </code></pre> and excerpted from a previous version of Firebug file browserOverlay.xul we have <pre><code><vbox id="appcontent"> <splitter id="fbContentSplitter" collapsed="true"/> <vbox id="fbContentBox" collapsed="true" persist="height"> <toolbox id="fbToolbox"> <toolbar id="fbToolbar"> <toolbarbutton id="fbFirebugMenu" type="menu"> <menupopup onpopupshowing="return FirebugChrome.onOptionsShowing(this);"> <menuitem label="&firebug.DisableFirebug;" type="checkbox" oncommand="FirebugChrome.onToggleOption(this)" option="disabledAlways"/> <menuitem type="checkbox" oncommand="FirebugChrome.onToggleOption(this)" option="disabledForSite"/> <menuitem label="&firebug.AllowedSites;" command="cmd_openFirebugPermissions"/> <menuseparator/> <menu label="&firebug.TextSize;"> <menupopup> <menuitem label="&firebug.IncreaseTextSize;" oncommand="Firebug.increaseTextSize(1)"/> <menuitem label="&firebug.DecreaseTextSize;" oncommand="Firebug.increaseTextSize(-1)"/> <menuitem label="&firebug.NormalTextSize;" oncommand="Firebug.setTextSize(0)"/> </menupopup> </menu> <menu label="&firebug.Options;"> <menupopup onpopupshowing="return FirebugChrome.onOptionsShowing(this);"> <menuitem type="checkbox" label="&firebug.AlwaysOpenInWindow;" oncommand="FirebugChrome.onToggleOption(this)" option="openInWindow"/> <menuitem type="checkbox" label="&firebug.ShowTooltips;" oncommand="FirebugChrome.onToggleOption(this)" option="showInfoTips"/> <menuitem type="checkbox" label="&firebug.ShadeBoxModel;" oncommand="FirebugChrome.onToggleOption(this)" option="shadeBoxModel"/> </menupopup> </menu> <menuseparator/> <menuitem label="&firebug.Website;" oncommand="Firebug.visitWebsite('main')"/> <menuitem label="&firebug.Documentation;" oncommand="Firebug.visitWebsite('docs')"/> <menuitem label="&firebug.Forums;" oncommand="Firebug.visitWebsite('discuss')"/> <menuseparator/> <menuitem label="&firebug.Donate;" oncommand="Firebug.visitWebsite('donate')"/> </menupopup> </toolbarbutton> <toolbarbutton id="fbDetachButton" class="toolbarbutton-iconic" tooltiptext="&firebug.DetachFirebug;" command="cmd_detachFirebug"/> <toolbarbutton id="fbCloseButton" class="toolbarbutton-iconic" tooltiptext="&firebug.CloseFirebug;" command="cmd_toggleFirebug"/> </toolbar> </toolbox> <hbox id="fbPanelBox" flex="1"/> <hbox id="fbCommandBox"/> </vbox> </vbox> </code></pre> Notice that both blocks of XUL markup start with <pre><code><vbox id="appcontent".../> </code></pre> This is what the Gecko engine uses to determine how an overlay fits together with the page being overlayed. If you look at browserOverlay.xul you'll also see other insertion points for <code>commandset, statusbar</code>, etc. For more information refer to the <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/En" rel="noreferrer">Mozilla Developer Center</a>.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
