 The fact is that most of Firefox's source is probably Javascript, without me fact checking now. Yes, Firefox contains quite a lot of C++ and some Rust etc.
 
-However the glue to make all those different components together to a usable browser is privileged Javascript. It's about the same as regular, but totally 
-different environment and APIs. You can launch firefox/i2pbrowser with the --jsconsole argument to spawn the browser console at launch. If not, ctrl+shift+J and cmd+shift+J for OSX users.

+
+In firefox they use a lot of the concept "observer". We use it ourself to enable the I2P Health check, and in the future to launch I2P itself.
+
+Here is a example on a object registering for "firefox global" events. "quit-application" is self-explained, but for "profile-after-change" it is
+the first event we as a plugin and not base firefox can hook ourself into.
+{{{
+function myExt() {}
+myExt.prototype = {
+  observe: function(aSubject, aTopic, aData) {
+    switch (aTopic) {
+      case "quit-application":
+        stopServer();
+        obs.removeObserver(this, "quit-application");
+        break;
+      case "profile-after-change":
+        startServer();
+        obs.addObserver(this, "quit-application", false);
+        break;
+    }
+  }
+};
+}}}
