Extensions are not the only way to do prototypes. Some ideas are more easily implemented as web content. Canvas lets your javascript code treat part of the page like a blank piece of paper and scribble all over it with drawing primitives, doing things right in the web page that could previously only be done in plugins like Flash. Canvas can be a very quick way to prototype new and innovative user interfaces; this session will teach you how.

    To use the Canvas element within the interface (eg to make an extension that adds a sidebar containing a canvas) use the "html:canvas" element; google "xul canvas" for more info.
