Updated FDA Search add-on for Firefox (WOHOOO!)

Just updated the FDA Search add-on from version 0.3.0 to 0.6.0 (I just make these numbers up as I have no idea what they're supposed to mean).

It's a pretty significant upgrade, so I doubled the version #.

What can it do now?

you can highlight a word or phrase and search

  • the FDA's website
  • the CDC's website
  • drug adverse events
  • vaccine adverse events
  • drug safety analysis
  • clinical trials
  • FDA warning letters

Also has some nifty icons added, which took me 4ever to figure out how to add. Mozilla's xul documentation is horrendous.

FDA Search Firefox Add-on

Just tried to publish my Firefox add-on, titled FDA Search 0.1.0. What I didn't realize is that Firefox keeps your add-on in purgatory until some FF regulars actually review it, and only then can you nominate your add-on for inclusion in the public repository. Thanks to James Cook and his add-on, which I used as a template for mine.
