XUL has been around since around 2000, why is it getting so popular now you might ask.

Well, thanks to the continued rise in popularity of Firefox, XUL has been getting the attention it deserves. There are currently thousands of extensions available to even further improve the web experience. From efficiency tools to data feeds, Firefox users get the most out of the web guaranteed.

XUL can be used to:

• Create Firefox browser extensions
• Create "Medium" size applications that can run "on-top" of Firefox
• Create cross platform stand-alone applications

Software applications are traditionally either web based or purely desktop. In the past, most destop applications that needed to do something "online" they embedded a browser component. With XUL you have the ideal environment.
