It's important - otherwise one couldn't tell office and windows apart from Office and Windows.
I am talking in things like variable names.

The addon has been submitted to addons.mozilla.org, and approved.

It was only about a 15 minute turn around, which surprised me.

The link to the addon is here.

The support site is at http://www.stellarparthenon.org/bbcwbx/

You will note that I have added the ability to import BBCodeXtra tags.

Under the Customs Tags, on the options screen, yes I see it. Wonderful.

I don't know why more people are not using this. It is VERY helpful to those who comment a lot on various fora *(forums).

Yeah, Firefox screwed up and allowed a cert to expire, deactivating most of their add-ons.

This has happened before, and given FF's reliance on its extensions for its identity, some heads should roll.

The add-on has been updated.

It now works on content editable elements (on https pages only).
