Solution 1

To best of my knowledge, the API for Firefox add-on development does not include .NET bindings. In my understanding, using .NET is not typical for Mozilla. And probably nobody knows if it can happen later or not.

You can not create Extension for Firefox using C# (Dot Net Managed Code) as of now. You can easily create it with XML,Javascript and CSS.

I would recommend you to go through this tutorial.
