This is the add-on that's been keeping a bunch of Anki-related Google/Firefox ex

Not sure it the author would see it or not, but thank you for your work!
As a code-dummy,I don't know whether this is a beautifully written py. file or not, but sure to say that without it, a couple of Anki extension would be at great trouble.
