Not a Firefox extension but a complete C# application. You'll see more in the next month or whenever.

A good person to ask is WetWired. He's been programming over 15 years. I belive C, C++, ect.. is his actual job.

I did a search plugin recently

http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.h...mitform=Search

It doesn't use the forums search but rather a hook into google's search but it works well I think.

yes i made one for tampaforums.com and tamparacing.com .. in the process of getting it added to the mozilla site so it will update. It resides up with the rest of the menus. Right now all the links are hard coded.

Next release I think I will add an options area that will let users select via check boxes the urls they want to display, aswell as a place for them to add their own links.

demo of it is here --> http://www.zate.org/xpi.html (right click, save as then open it, select firefox as the application).

I don't know a whole lot about this now (about to pour on the net to research), but is tehre a way you could post the source for that for others to modify?

that is the source... the xpi file... save it, change it to a .zip and extract it.

Might be easier for folks if you attached the one you saved into a zip.

[Zate]

go to http://www.zate.org/xpi.html

right clik, save as.

go to the downloaded file (tftr.xpi) and change it to a .zip (tr.tf.zip)

extract it.

Inside the chrome folder, extract the jar (i used winrar).

use notedpad, or textpad to edit the files, use this site to help you learn what to change --> http://extensions.roachfiend.com/howto_bug.html
