[add-art dev] Firefox 3 & add-art

[Matt Katz]

That's a kind offer, but I'd advise against it.  The book's author says it
is out of date and points us to the following resources.
    * http://developer.mozilla.org/
    * http://www.mozilla.org/catalog/
    * http://www.xulplanet.com/tutorials/
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Main_Page

I imagine there's gotta be some xbl tutorials or something out there on
those pages.
