  • XUL means Extensible User Interface Language, a subset of XML (Extensible Markup Language) for creating user interfaces
  • TBE means Tabbrowser Extensions, an extension for Mozilla and Firefox that gives extra options for tabs and tabbed browsing


And the following is a list of acronyms you will often come across when you're in the Mozilla IRC channels (irc.mozilla.org) - these are in addition to the ones listed above:

  • AFAIK: As far as I know
  • ATM: At the moment
  • BRB: Be right back
  • IIRC: If I remember/recall correctly
  • NP: No problem

More to come. Acronym Finder is a very good resource for finding out what some Mozilla-related acronyms stand for.

There is also a Mozilla Jargon site with many definitions for words used by mozilla hackers.
