Firesomething 1.0.9
Firesomething Extension 1.0.9 is no longer available. Firesomething 1.1 has been released and a new topic started here. Version 1.1 is not compatible with previous versions, and I have added most of the feature suggestions from this topic, so I wanted to start a fresh topic.
-------description for 1.0.9 follows-------
What it does:
- Does awful things to the product name of your favorite browser
Yes, this is really an extension! You can blame Dunderklumpen for the idea. I only created this topic so people can have a laugh and offer suggestions for further improvements.
UPDATES:
1.0.9 - "firesomething.aboutimage.URL" allows you to change the logo in the About dialog without having to mess around with userChrome.css.
1.0.8 - More hidden preferences. "firesomething.spacers" is a new randomizer list for the space between the vendor name and the product name. If you're upgrading from a previous version, you'll want to remove the spaces from your "firesomething.vendors" list. New preference "firesomething.useragent.comment" is for adding original browser info to your UA string. Check the extension page for details. Also made the UA string box in the About dialog a little bigger, and GPL'ed the extension for the sake of modders and redistributors.
1.0.7 - Hidden preference "firesomething.modify_useragent" has been added. Off by default, use at your own peril (don't yell at me if some websites don't recognize "Firegiant/0.8")!
1.0.6 - about:firefox, because I know you want it. And Ctrl+` generates a new name.
1.0.5 - about:firesomething, thanks to Torisugari.
1.0.4 - Modifies the About dialog, and has a hidden preference (firesomething.samename) so you can force all browser windows to use the same generated name. Also packaged 8:12 for fun, but it's not about:firesomething yet. Full release details here.
1.0.3 - Now it modifies the "About Mozilla Firefox" item in the Help menu as well. It should work with all language packs, let me know if it doesn't.
1.0.2 - Now the extension changes the entire product name, using three randomized parts (vendor, prefix, name). Man, this MozillaZine Spacemonkey browser is great!
1.0.1 - Improved title update code, added sanity check for an empty preference string, and changed some of the animals in the default list (Fireant, Firebug, Fireoyster).

It would be cool, if the list was a XML file. Cause I get the feeling that this list is going to grow as I think of more creatures, and it would be nice to have a backup for when firebird 0.9 comes out

Changed my mind. lol it would be cool but it works as is. I can just back up my string before I upgrade.
