Freyja, available now!

My first Firefox extension, Freyja, is now available for download! See my first post for an introduction to the functionality and inspiration of this work.

Freyja is currently in an experimental state, and being my first attempt, may not be 100% stable on all operating systems (tested on Ubuntu 8.04, Fedora 8, Windows XP).

To use it properly, you will need Firefox 2.0 or above (FF3 is recommended), access to an SMTP server (Gmail is supported!) and the Python interpreter (comes bundled on most Linux distro's and Mac OS X).

MS Windows users -- the extension will work for you if you have Python installed on your machine.

I would really appreciate it if someone could download it, test it out with their own email address(es), and let me know if you run into any problems. Any feedback at all is appreciated!

General usage is as follows:

  • Go to Tools > Freyja
  • Add a few URLs to the Websites list
  • Add one or more email addresses to the Email list
  • Go to Preferences and set your email information (example: Gmail password, email address, full name)
  • Browse to a disallowed URL (that you just set)
  • Look in the status bar for the "Sending email..." message!
