Home of the Neopets Toolbar Add-on

The Neopets Toolbar Add-on is an unofficial add-on for Firefox which improves the toolbar, but will not help you in any way which will be unfair to others (eg. You can have an audio and/or a pop-up alert, but if you're not around or not paying attention to those alerts...)

The initial reason why I created this add-on is to provide a fix for several users who are having problem with the random "unactivated" alert in Firefox, preventing them from getting the reward. This add-on will provide an alternate alert in case the offical alert button fails.

Since TNT had fix the problem, a new purpose for the add-on is to provide Tarla/neomail/email notification to user who is unable to install Neopets Toolbar, thus (again) miss out the reward.

I may be adding or removing any features within the Add-on, depending on the current version of Neopets Toolbar. So if you notice a feature disappears from the add-on, it could mean either it was not needed anymore or I was forced to remove it...

The add-on only make use of pre-existing settings created by Neopets Toolbar and several other settings for the add-on options dialog. Source codes are provided for those who wishes to know what happens "behind the scene" before downloading.

Again, this is the unofficial add-on for the Neopets Toolbar. Thus this Firefox extension is not in any way related to Neopets and its team. Please send any bugs for this add-on via the contact link.

Known Bugs

[All systems - Annoyance] User will need to access the Neopets Toolbar favourites pull-down menu once every time the user modifies the favourites list. Otherwise, the toolbar will not recognise the modification and reset the list after the user closes the browser.
(Comment: This was initially not a bug... It was accidentally brought out by the add-on due to the fact that TNT doesn't expect anybody to edit the favourites lists... no suitable solution available unfortunately.)

[Linux only - Minor Annoyance - Firefox 2 only] There is a delay while playing alert sound in Linux. The sound will either: 1) end prematurely, or 2) not play at all.
(Comment: After testing on Firefox 3, this particular bug seems to be resolved.)

[Mac only - Annoyance - Firefox 3.1beta2 not affected] The popup appears at the top left corner of the screen, with more than 50% of the popup hidden from view.
(Comment: In normal condition, the popup should appear in the middle of the screen when the popup location is not specified. For some reason, this doesn't apply in Mac.)
(Update: Upon testing, this particular bug does not affect users of Firefox 3.1beta2. Though Firefox 3.1 is still not recommended for general usage yet, it means that Mozilla knew about the bug and fixed it in Firefox 3.1.)

[Bug - Unconfirm] The collection link on the Tarla message page directs the user to the Neopets login page instead, even though the user is currently logged in.
(Comment: Could it be problem with the cookie? For users having this particular problem, please try deleting all cookies and re-login to Neopets again. Then let me know if the problem is resolve.)

Features Request

[Rejected] Alerts for trades and neofriend requests.
(Comment: Read the archives...)

[Checking] Preventing the Tarla alert from alerting the user whenever the browser is first open.
(Comment: I'm checking if this is possible. If this is possible, then we could turn off the Tarla alert 10 minutes after it was triggered. And yes, this is considered an improvement rather than bug fixing, since the official Neopets Toolbar works the same way.)

[Done] Alert for new news on Neopets. TheDailyNeopets, catch! :D
(Comment: The cron script was created, and is now fully activated to check between 2pm NST to 8pm NST every weekdays (The remaining 18 hours is to give Neopets server and my server a break :P Anyway, who else will work after 8pm anyway?!? Wait... that would be me sometimes... X( ). The data is stored here link

for the add-on to determine whether the news is updated. The time taken for the alert to trigger after TNT posted the news is between less than a minute to 20 minutes.)
