AFAIK, You cannot do this. Languages used in Firefox extensions are Javascript and C++.

Basically, you're right, but not exactly. No C++.

Please see my answer.

The architecture of FireFox extensions is quite far from .NET. Extensions do not hook up any native CPU code (not mentioning .NET managed code). They are hosted by FireFox itself; it makes them platform-independent and safe — any uncontrolled access to OS is excluded.

The developed extension is a zipped directory (zip file is renamed as *.xpi file) which contains XML-based files such as XUL and RDF, a also DTD, Java and manifest files.

Please, Read The Following Manual: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_an_Extension[^].
