Firefox - Custom Buttons Extension

[_pi]

Custom Buttons :: Mozilla Add-ons :: Add Features to Mozilla Software
"Gives a possibility to create custom toolbarbuttons.

To add new button you should:
* Go into menu View -> Add new Button....
* Fill in the fields Name and Code.
(You can leave the field Image empty. Then the button will have a standart image).
* The Initialization code executes once a time when the browser startups. You can leave it empty too.
* Go into menu View -> Toolbars -> Customize... , find new button and drag it to any toolbar.

The extension adds to Firefox a "custombutton" protocol, that allows to install buttons from web-pages. Some button examples can be found at http://xsms.nm.ru/custombuttons/en/

You can find a lot of buttons and example code in the
custom buttons forum

Here is The Custom Buttons Forum for those who like the extension and would like more buttons. I am the site admin there. Yan, the creator of the extension, is also a site admin and will be joining us there very soon (he has been on leave for quite some time).

You're welcome! And I edited my profile to remove the link to the forum from the location line, so that I am not breaking your table anymore.
