to write extensions, you only need :
- a text editor to edit all js, css, and xml file you want (xul, 
overlay, xbl, html, svg, contents.rdf etc)
- a zip tool to create the xpi package
- your application to test the extension
- and ... knowledge about XUL, overlay, css etc...

There isn't yet an existing RAD tool (to create a rad tool helping to 
develop overlay, it is very difficult...). Some project for such tools 
are began but they are still in developpement, and some of them are 
cancelled...

Mozcreator could be interresting to generate easily packages.
