HBO News Firefox Plugin
This is something that I have been cooking up for a little while now, but could never get right. I finally perfected it last night and went through some testing, so I'm releasing it here for the first time. This has not been sent to Mozilla yet, but I plan to soon.
I made this plugin to integrate with the Firefox search engine box that comes with the browser. A lot of people who frequent HBO use Firefox (about 30%, taken from the statistics from my site). If you're not, what are you waiting for! Screw the other reasons like tabbed browsing and popup blocking! This gives you HBO News on demand! :)
Here's the result window:
(*NOTE* If you have Firefox and the search bar isn't there, right click somewhere on the toolbar (like on the 'home' button for instance) and click customize. When a window pops up, click and drag the search bar to somewhere on the toolbar. I'm pretty sure the search bar is automatically shown when you start Firefox for the first time, so this is just if the search bar isn't there.) To download, click the link below. You'll be taken to another page (on my site) because the HBO forum doesn't allow javascript. Click that link there, then click 'OK' when the dialog box comes up. Restart you browser (close all instances of it) and you should be set. Have fun! Leave any comments you may have for me too!
