Notify Extension

[Anamodiel]

I found this neat little gem on the Matrix Online forums, courtesy of Bayamos. This extension, available to be used in Firefox 2 and 3, has two amazing features:

    *  notify you when selected Internet pages change
    * open pages at a chosen time

So, if you ever need to watch a site to see if it updates (the forums, a pre-order page, etc.), this nifty little thing will keep you as up-to-date as possible.

In order to install this, you only have to a few things:

1) Download this .xpi extension to your desktop or wherever.
2) Before you install, type about:config into your Firefox address bar.
3) Promise that you won't screw anything up (you won't if you follow these directions to a T).
4) Right click, New-> Boolean.
5) Preference name: "extensions.checkUpdateSecurity"
6) Set it to FALSE
7) Go to "File" then "Open File" in your toolbar (or CTRL+O) and navigate to the location of the Notify.xpi file you downloaded.

After that, you can go to it like any other extension via your "Tools" and then directly clicking on the "Notify". You can also go into "Tools" -> "Add-ons" and change some of the options in there (how often it refreshes), among others. The default one is set to 30 minutes. Normally, that's a good time, but if you have something that is under time constraints (like the pre-order), then putting it down to 1 minute or 5 minutes might be better.

Good luck and happy notifying!
