| [FireFox] BBR Firefox Extension
Here it is folks, the official DSLR/BBR Firefox extension.
It works with both domains and allows you to choose the refresh rate. As long as you're logged into either domain, this handy little extension will notify you if you receive any new instant messages or if any of your topics are updated.
Upon a notification event, an icon (yellow envelope for IMs, orange envelope for updated topics) will appear in your status bar to the right of the RSS button.
The extension can be downloaded here:
»/r0/download/7···v0.6.zip
To install it, unzip the file and drag the .xpi file into an open Firefox window. |

When I clicked the icon in the lower right it takes me to my IM's page, but not the new IM. It also doesn't go away once the IM has been read (it has to wait for the next polling). Perhaps clicking the icon could cancel the notification?
Very cool tool!

A good observation from the old tool. A double click was necessary for IM's. Also every click on the envelope opens a new tab. Probably no solution for that but to learn to use the back button.

Could someone IM me as well. I tried to IM myself but I guess that doesn't work.
Update: Ok, its not working for me. I have an IM waiting but no icon in Firefox. Its set to 1 minute polling. I've tried both domains. Any ideas?

Looks great!
An option to where to take me upon click would be nice i.e. FAV forums or My Posts (I always prefer to start in FAV forums) |

Update: I restarted FF again just to be sure and nothing. I have a flashing IM icon on the BBR page but nothing at all in FF 1.0.1. The only thing to the right of the orange RSS icon is the Adblock status indicator.
