Secret Word Browser Plugin by Salty Pete

the word should become highlighted, and there should be a very noisy (visually and auditorially) display of excitement - ideally, this would include things like sliding CD-ROM trays in and out, flipping the screen off and on, etc. In keeping with the plugin's The extension only works in FireFox. I think you should be able to just click the file below and have it install. If not, save the file (secretword.xpi) to your desktop then drag it into a FireFox window.
It will not let me upload it, so I think this should work: Download from my personal webpage.
There is no currently no "loud" announcement of the secret word. If you want to know what it is, check the tools menu.

I am going to make it louder and sillier in the future. Saddly, I was unable to find a way to make FireFox open the CD tray, but I did try.
Ack. Beat me to the punch. Was working on something very similar.
I think everyone just crapped their pants.
I think more people outside of SF0 need to see this... can we link the download to firends and family?
I am going to upload it to the Firefox Extension Site in the next couple of days. I just wanted to let a smaller group of people try it first.
I made a little page for this purpose.
It's also a valuable learning tool.

Ok... you finally get my vote for this. It's been months since I installed the plugin, but it wasn't until today that I actually hit the secret word.
This was the first time I had to turn it off; it was being triggered on nearly every webpage I hit.
Best plugin ever.
Nice word! I think I'm going to turn it off for the day as well.
This has urged me to make a few additions. I'm going to add the following features:
1) a button that says, "I found the word, please dont bug me again today."
2) a property that lets you turn off opening the extra window
Any other suggestions?
If anyone is interested in helping out with the app, I created a page that lets you interface with the database of words. I mostly created it because I wanted a way to remove super common words from the list, but you can also use it to suggest words. Then I forgot all about it. If you are interested in helping add/remove words, please let me know. I would love it if the secret word was "superaclifragilisticexpiallidocious" one day. ;)
Oh. My. God.
