Mods, move this to anywhere you want, it's popular here so I'll take the chance for actually getting a response.
When it comes to Firefox exentions, I'm just learning the API. I've made a few simple extensions but I'm lacking ideas. I like checking the status of things without effort, which makes FF Extensions a great thing for me. I'm working on:
- Site Monitor - While the browser is open it'll check specific sites to make sure they're up and running, and notify you if one goes down. You can either make sure the server responds in general or make sure you get a specific response from a script. I like this one, but since I'm still learning, it's taking me a while.
I was thinking about doing something for my bank account to notify me of new charges, but thats just going a little far with security. Not many people would use that, even if it was secure and didn't send back charge amounts I think. I might personally use it though.
What would be *your* perfect FF extension? :t
