Hi!
I hope this group is not overtaken by spam!
Could you point me to some tutorials or books on writing a Firefox
plugin that would capture which page is loaded and extract some
information from the content of the page?

TIA

More like by "newbies" asking for "info" who were too lazy or stupid to do
their homework before. Unfortunately, those postings cannot be filtered as
easily.

You can use an existing FF plugin called "Greasemonkey". You can
program it to do exactly what you want.

+1 to GreaseMonkey.

It lets you write standard Javascript that operates upon any web page
without having to worry about the rest of the plugin structure.
Depending on how complex your script is, it can run on many other
browsers, including IE, SeaMonkey, Opera...
