Installation note: When you click on the download link, a yellow bar will appear across the page saying something along the lines of "Firefox prevented this site from installing software." It's a security precaution - if you edit your options and "allow" ginatrapani.org to install the extension, it should work. Be sure to restart Firefox to see it in your context menu.
