    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I feel so stupid.  I'm a professional C++ developer, and i've been doing it for years and years.  Now I have to write a Firefox plugin (NPAPI) in C++, which sounded easy enough, but after 2 days, I just can't get anything built.  The documentation on developer.mozilla.org is often very confusing, a lot of info doesn't seem to be there at all, and i'm growing more frustrated by the day.  This is _supposed_ to be easy.  Writing an ActiveX control using the ATL in C++ for IE is dead simple to me (i've done it literally dozens of times over the years), but writing a plugin in C++ for Firefox is proving to be quite a frustrating endeavor.  Searching the archives of the Mozilla dev-tech-plugins list only shows a few others complaining like I am, with no responses offered.  The samples in the mozilla tree don't seem to build much of anything, no DLLs / bundles are generated on Windows / Mac OSX (the two platforms I need to target the most) ... sigh.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can anyone point me to a code sample (hopefully simple for the obviously brain-dead developer I am) for a Firefox plugin that is known to build on Windows and OSX?  What steps did you take to build it, and how did you install it?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Regards,
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So I'm taking a break from school (majoring in econ and computer science) to do some stuff in the real world.  I'm applying for junior QA positions but I really don't have much of a clue.  What kind of stuff should I know?  To be more specific, in your opinion what are the top 5 skills that a badass QA engineer has and how should I go about getting them?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In addition, what are some good websites and books that I should check out?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;thanks&lt;/div&gt;
