Selenium IDE Plugins
summary
Selenium IDE adds a plugin system modeled on Firebug ZUL overlays that lets teams clone example plugin and in two days get real extensions: register plugins, use the addCommand API to inject custom commands, and create formatter exports (PHP, Java, Python) as separate multi-installer XPI packages. Plugins can use the Firefox password manager, host updates on AMO or self-host, and exploit Firefox auto-updates; the IDE dropdown contains ~500 commands that need automated UI tests (Mozmill) and an xUnit-style runner is planned.
