So, I think I’m more or less done the extension.<\/p>\n

Someday, when I’ve got more extension development experience under my belt, I’ll probably come back to this and fix it up.\u00a0 Until then, this will have to do.<\/p>\n

Click here to download.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re interested in looking at the source, just change the file extension from “.xpi” to “.zip”, and decompress.\u00a0 It’s all there.<\/p>\n

There’s no license on this thing, no GPL, MIT, nothing.\u00a0 Use it however you want.\u00a0 If you find it useful though, I’d love to hear from you<\/strong> – send me email, post a comment, Facebook, Twitter, whichever.<\/p>\n

Whew.\u00a0 I think I’m going to reward myself with some orange sherbet.\u00a0 Om nom nom…<\/p>\n

Here’s a really annoying website to test the extension with.\u00a0 I really don’t recommend that you visit it without my extension installed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The window hops around a bit, so just double click on the location bar, and type in something like “http:\/\/www.google.ca”.\u00a0 This will start up the flood of alerts, and (hopefully) you’ll be able to suppress them after the first one hits.<\/p>\n

Here’s the site.\u00a0 Visit at your own risk.<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve moved the extension to Mozilla Addons<\/a>, and added Firefox 3.5 compatibility.<\/p>\n

I’ve updated alertCheck.xpi so that it’ll play nice with Firefox 3.0b5, and hopefully Firefox 3.1.*.\u00a0 Let me know if there are any behaviour foulups, and I’ll do my best to fix them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
