Javascript to extend browser functionality

Hi,
I want to extend the functionality of my Firefox browser. Can you
write mozilla plugins in Javascript; can anyone point me to some
resources for doing this? If not, can I save Javascript functions as
bookmarks and perform read-only operations on remote pages, outputting
results to a new window (pop up) client side?
Thanks,
Malcolm.

You can write extensions to Mozilla/Firefox using XUL and JavaScript, see

Perhaps Greasemonkey (<URL:http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org>) might be of
use to you.
