I haven't had any experience on building plugins, need guidance on where to start, specifically for Firefox.
Try this (tutorial) and/or that(XUL references).
Robert Nyman's talk "How to write your first extension" helped me a lot. You'll find it http://presentation-slides.googlecode.com/files/how-to-write-your-first-extension-berlin.pdf.

I work on Windows. Lately, I have been using a lot of LaTeX and I ShareLaTeX is not available to me. I want an offline software for Windows. Now I know that there are many, but which is the best to go for? please Help!
I personally prefer WinEdt. I like the interface and have never had any issues with it!

What would be the best course for me to take in regards to learning how to script with Windows? I am a beginner and would like an accelerated course or list of great informational steps to take to become an advanced scripter. In all areas of Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
PowerShell is what you want to learn. Google, notepad and experimentation. I'm sure there are great books as well, but find a tutorial or two and you will be off to the races.
A good starting point could be this=>

I know this probably isn't the right place to post, but, well, I'm all out of ideas. :( Do any of you know frameworks/information on how to create a nice-looking GUI for the Kinect? I'm planning on using C# and was thinking about using Kinesis.IO but the conversion and compatibility seems like a headache. Would the XNA Framework do it for me? I've googled this several times and can't seem to find any good ideas. Please let me know! Thanks!

Neoforce is compatible with the 360, I haven't used it on it, but it work great for my project on the PC.
I tried FeedbackReporter.framework from vafer.org but it doesn't want to work. :-/
So any suggestions for great Cocoa feedback frameworks?
Try this one from Jon Rentzsch:
http://github.com/rentzsch/jrfeedbackprovider/tree
It's a good start.
There is also OpenFeedback at http://code.google.com/p/appcaster/. This also includes Appcaster which you could find useful. I personally ended up going with JRFeedback.
UKCrashReporter handles detecting and submitting crash logs (e.g. at app startup) and submitting feedback from within the app. I've been very happy with it.
I've never used it, but apparently the author of Feedback Reporter monitors Stack Overflow and will try to help if you bother explain your problem.
OK,
I want to create a windows shell extention that sits in the file menu much like the "Tortorise SVN" menu.
Does anyone know where I'd begin, a good article, or what interfaces to implement?
Thanks!
It's pretty straight forward actually. It's about a 3-4 step process. You didn't specify what language you were using.
Here's how to do it in native code:

Here's how to do it with .NET. Note that it is essentially the same as doing it with native code.

Ah... Shell extensions... they can be a real pain in the butt if they're complicated, but you can do so much neat stuff. A great place to start is Mike Dunn's Complete Idiot's Guide To Writing Shell Extensions on codeproject.com.
There's an O'Reilly book called VB Shell Programming which goes into the API's in some depth. As the title suggests, it's aimed at Visual BASIC, but the API's are exposed through COM and the techniques discussed in the book are applicable for pretty much anything that supports COM. A quick look on Amazon.com suggests you can probably pick up a secondhand copy for a few dollars.
Avoid codeproject (for kids, full of bugs) and read the complete doc of MSDN on SNE.
