Firefox addon #19

Open Termplexed opened 2 years ago

Termplexed commented 2 years ago

This is borderline rude / spam, but never the less ...

I wrote an extension for Firefox that utilizes the lookup API to use as a address-bar search. Wanted to look into the omnibox feature of the browser (which is cumbersome if I dare to say so).

I hope the use of the index / search API is OK.

Cool, nice to see this! Not rude at all. No objections to using the API. Hope it'll be useful to people.

Is the source available somewhere? It might give people more confidence in this if the Firefox Add-on page linked to a repository.

Thanks for posting this here. I guess I'll leave this open for a while for visibility.

Thank you!

Yes, I have meant to upload source, but on the shelf for now (Have to figure out how I want to do it in regards to my local repository etc.)

One can view the source by right-clicking the Add to Firefox or Remove button on the addons-page.

The xpi file is simply a zip archive, so one can either save it as some_file.zip (or as .xpi as well if ones archive software detects type) and unpack it.

The source is not minified or the like and has comments and all.
