I would like to create an extension, which can be used to educate novice/elderly users about potential security threats. I am under the impression that most users do not fully understand Firefox security warning, and the threats these warnings are used to protect against.

The Add-ons site also has a forum where most likely they speak better XUL than we do here: http://forums.addons.mozilla.org/
