Here's a good starting place: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons

But before you get started, you need to realize that the current "extension landscape" will be changing drastically in 2016 with WebExtensions coming into play and the deprecation of XUL and XPCOM-based add-ons that have made Firefox what it is today. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions
