the framework for the addons would be different and i doubt they use XUL since thats a mozilla thing, but once you know javascript, css, and xml you should be good to go with making addons in any browser that has some addon framework(i think most do, dont people say chrome allows addons now too)

so it might be slightly different but the process is probably similar
