This repository features a toolbar extension for Firefox which periodically monitors system states over a REST API.
It evaluates JSON responses sent from the server and sets the toolbar badge text to either "New", "Error" or "Unknown".
Run this add-on if you automatically want to be informed in the browser when a system state has changed.
Mozilla requires add-ons to be verified. You have to run the Developer Edition for Firefox in order to test this add-on.
Make sure that the right URL for the HTTP GET request is used:
function onAlarm(alarm) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener("load", onResponse);
xhr.open("GET", path + "?user=" + user);
xhr.send();
}Run the following command in the terminal to build the add-on:
zip fxaddon.xpi manifest.json img/icon.png js/polling.js js/options.js html/options.html
Drag fxaddon.xpi into the browser and confirm both notifications.
Configure the add-on with parameters to call the REST API with:
Restart the browser.
Depending on the current system state, you get one of the following notifications:
