The Tails Export add-on for FF is great but if I am inserting hCard

application like Outlook) could click on the link to have the contact
information added to their contact list. Somewhat like Tails Export
but
rather than an extension, the link would be right in the page and
would
not depend on FF but work in IE too.
Does anyone know if something like this has been created (didn't find
any in my Google search)?
I don't think it's possible for JavaScript to determine if a vCard-
compatible application like Outlook is available. But if you're
willing to leave that up to people to determine, for creating links
to vCard exports, you can link directly to one of the various hCard-
to-vCard proxy services, e.g.:
