So I'm working on a Firefox extension for those VT-goers who use it. As of right now, it just messes with my stuff (this is my first attempt at an extension).
Here's an example of what it does:

An example that uses the example:

Notice that my name and post count image are changed. It happens for me on every page.
Please don't ask if you can have something special yet, I'll open it up to requests when I get around to releasing it.

What's wrong with it?

It currently doesn't do anything. Also, it screws up the control panel for some reason, otherwise I'd be asking for stuff to add. When you go to the control panel, it gives a bunch of errors. I'm working on it though.

What do you mean by Extension?

If it's a Firefox Extension, why does it appear to be being used in Google Chrome?
What do you mean by Extension?
Extensions for Firefox are basically Add-ons to the browser. Like, little programs. They extend the functionality of the browser.
Here is the main site for Firefox Extensions:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
For example, a few Extensions:
DownThemAll (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201) - Download Manager for Firefox
AdBlock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) - Blocks and Removes Ads from Websites
GreaseMonkey (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748)- Allows Customized Scripts to be run on various websites.
IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419) - Allows you to make it so Firefox Opens specific websites (One time, or permanently) using the IE rendering Engine, but within a Firefox Tab.
Those can all be found on that site, along with thousands of others.

Google Chrome has a plugin system. As far as I know, it doesn't yet have compatibility for extensions. And yeah, that's also confusing to me. Why are you saying that it's for Firefox when you're demonstrating it with Google Chrome?

Aha, you've found the big hint. Yes, this is a hoax. Then again, I am actually working on an extension that does this, however as of right now it only prints "Hello world!" at the top of a blank page ><
So, anyone want something special done to their name?

I really don't get this. Complete waste of time?
