For Firefox the language is mostly JavaScript and XUL (XML UI Language). Although it is possible to use Python and XUL, or even have compiled code bound trough XPCOM/XPconnect. But that's definitely not for beginners.

For Chrome the language is actually JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It's very similar to developing web application.

See tutorials:
