Firefox Extension for Furaffinity
15 years ago
Hi ppl :)
Firefox knows a lot of cool extensions, as everyone using that browser might know.
One of them is "CustomButtons²":
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fi.....fox/addon/5066
This one is special, since it allows everyone to write their own custom extensions as "buttons" for Firefox, and put them anywhere on the browser as you please. New buttons can be installed as easily as by clicking on a link starting with custombutton://
Now comes the nifty part. Ever got annoyed that in the search results, you cannot hover over a thumbnail to preview it, like you can in the "recent submissions" ?
If you ever searched for a term like for example "gore" or "scat" then you will have been annoyed, because all you see is "warning" thumbnails, whats behind is hidden, and when you search something specific, you have to click on every single hit. A tedious task.
No longer. Install the above extension and then this little button, I called "FuraffinityButton", and the missing feature will be automatically added everytime you browse on furaffinity.
Of course it will stop working once they change the page, but hey, as I said before, everyone can edit and modify those buttons easily with a bit of javascript prowess.
A matter of warning though: Those buttons could contain malicious code, so BEFORE installing any you should look into their code to see if something looks fishy. (right click on the install link, select "view source")
All mine does is check whether the current page is furaffinity, if so, add an additional floating "div" in the leftbar, and modify any thumbnails to display a preview in that div when you hover over them with the mouse. Feel free to modify it to suit your own needs.
(update: meanwhile it does a bit more than that, see "features" below)
Here is the button (you need the above firefox extension for this link to work)

UPDATE: Since this journal page's URL is linked from within the furaffinityButton, I'm going to add new versions here as edit's:
GreaseMonkey Version
Installation Instructions: You need the GreaseMonkey Firefox extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
If you use GreaseMonkey, you can get a sleek version of FuraffinityButton as a GreaseMonkey script, found under http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/75225
UPDATE: This version also works directly in the Opera browser and Google Chrome, (as "user script") and with a couple of hacks (Greasekit) in Apple Safari
Custombuttons² Version
Installation Instructions: You need the Custombuttons2 Firefox extension mentioned above.
Make sure to DELETE!!! older versions of the furaffinityButton before installing new ones.
It's not enough to remove the old button from the toolbar, it needs to be deleted!
No two versions of furaffinityButton can be installed at the same time! Alternatively you can UPDATE the button by saying "copy link location" on the "install" link below, then right click on your existing furaffinityButton and select "update" from the context menu. (It will update with the data from the clipboard)
After installing you will at least have to reload the current (furaffinity) page.
If you updated from one furaffinityButton version to the next, you need to restart the browser (firefox)! (Remains of the old furaffinityButton stay lingering within firefox until you do so and can cause VERY weird side effects)
