making a "plugin" for firefox

[Dy7SLyTq]

im on linux, and use firefox as my main browser. how would i go about writing something for the browser so that when i post something on this site it appends a signature to it?

Hi,

There is a SDK for Firefox development, all the plugins are more or less like IE 's BHO difference being they are Firefox compatible.

The SDK for Firefox plugin development:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/builder

Hi,

There is there is the tutorial on the actual SDK page. The beginners tutorial:

Just browse through the entire Firefox developer website.

quick question, how would i test if im on the correct site? i want it to test on any page of c++.com (ie like this one) but it only says its the correct site if im actually on the index. here is my code:

require("sdk/tabs").on("ready", CatchURL);
 
function CatchURL(tab)
{
    if(IsCorrectSite(tab))
    {
        console.log("On Correct Site!");
    }
}

function IsCorrectSite(tab)
{
    var site = new String(tab.url);

    if(site.search("www.cplusplus.com"))
        return true;
    return false;
}

TBH, idk. I'm guessing it would be if(site.search("www.cplusplus.com/*"))
It's like that in JS for Chrome, anyway.

Just look up for string.search for javascript:

thank you guys! your regex worked rets. i think my problem was i was used to regex_search which doesnt have to match the whole string, but search does.
