Bookmark at BrainKing Firefox extension

I am a big fan of Firefox and its system of add-ons (extensions) - by the way, Mozilla has released a new version of its page of Firefox Add-ons recently - and since the problematics of the add-on creation has been wandering through my brain cells for a long time, I have decided to give it a try and created my first Firefox extension for BrainKing.

Actually, there is nothing to celebrate yet - it is a really simple add-on with the least possible functionality, created in 10 minutes (while 8 minutes have been spent on reading a not-too-well-written documentation and setting up the environment), so do not expect any miracles. On the other hand, it might be a nice complement of the recently announced system of BrainKing Bookmarks at user Profile pages, even in its very pre-release version.

All right, if someone wants to try it out and uses Firefox 2.0 or higher, please follow the instructions:

• Go to http://brainking.com/BookmarkExtension page.
• Click Install BrainKing Bookmark extension for Firefox 2.0 or higher link.
• Since the extension package is not located at the official Firefox extension site yet, it is very likely that a warning message - Firefox prevented this site (brainking.com) from asking you to install software on your computer. - appears.
• Click the Edit Options ... button. A dialog window shows up.
• A text field with a label Address of web site: should contain brainking.com. Click the Allow button.
• After the dialog window is closed, please click the Install BrainKing Bookmark extension for Firefox 2.0 or higher link again. An add-on installation window should appear and after the process is completed, you will be asked to restart your Firefox.

Very well, the add-on is installed, so what to do now? If you open any web page and right-click somewhere on the page content, you should see that the standard context menu contains a new item called Bookmark at BrainKing ..., prefixed with a brainy icon:

What you click this item, a new Firefox tab will be opened. The tab would contain your Profile / Links page (if you are already logged in BrainKing, otherwise you are asked to log in first), and the Page URL and Page name fields are automatically pre-filled.

The conclusion: Using this simple add-on, you can save any web page to your BrainKing Profile without installing any HTML or JavaScript code to the particular page URL.
