My first (and still only) addon was inspired by FoxGame :-)
Today, it looks no where near to be inspired by FoxGame (except from
some url checks)
Thanks mate.

Well, that is not so strange all extensions are within the same scope
so everyone can hijack other functions (it depends on the loading

hard way I did not create a custom function with a stange name I
defined my own "eval" function, you can imagine how everything started
to crash when I added more extensions to my installation of Firefox.
Kindly enough Mouse Gestures developers told me about that shared
scope problem when I opened a bug about our strange interactions :P
Some other stories to tell:
+ Initiallly my IDE was: Notepad + Winrar (yes I made the whole zip
and rename process every time) + TortoiseCVS, I then changed to
Notepad + 7zip + Bat + Tortoise, then Eclipse + 7zip to finally
Eclipse with Ant builder, originally I took me 5 minutes to make a xpi
while now its only 20-30 seconds.
+ I will never forget the last second change about security
restrictions in RC3 a week before Firefox 3 release, everyone already
had their T-shirt at home for updating extensions to be compatible
with FF3 but a week before release hundreds of extensions developers
saw their extensions broken and with 6 days to rerelease and the
review list on AMO bigger than ever.
I still love one of the comments on that bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292789#c101
+ Until my last release a couple of months ago I still was testing my
extension in Seamonkey, I thought that if it worked there I would work
in every version of Firefox.
My motivations to develop Foxgame: It was terribly boring to make a
lot of time calcs by hand and having to select an option everytime I
logged in Ogame, so I made a Greasemonkey script and some time later I
was making Foxgame as an extension.

I have a strange thing.
In a quickie, I created a function outside of my singleton
component. This function was called
getCharPref(), and itwas defined like function
getCharPref(blah,blah) {blah blah}.
Problem: Some OTHER extension was calling it. Why? I guess it had
it's own getCharPref, but for some
reason MINE was being called. Was I overloading a global
getCharPref? Should that even be possible?
No idea. But it's definitely interesting. I could hijack other
extensions with a perfectly "safe"
extension. Gross. (re-tested with latest firefox).
