NaNoWriMo Extension for Firefox

If you've found your way here because of NaNoWriMo, then you're probably wondering why my Firefox extension started on November 2 rather than November 1. I reprint here my response in the Mozilla discussion:

Hey everyone, I'm the author of this extension. As pointed out in the discussion, the start date for 2007 was incorrect. It was miscalculated to be November 1, 2007 *as of the current time*, and because that was always not-later-than now on November 1, the extension thought that NaNoWriMo hadn't started yet. On November 2 and beyond, it works correctly. I realized this just as NaNoWriMo was starting and quickly submitted 0.4, which fixes the problem. However, the Mozilla extension reviewers appear to be far behind on their extension-reviewing queue, so they haven't approved 0.4 yet, and that's why it doesn't appear on the site. Meanwhile, I have put 0.4 on my personal website at (link). Note that you should generally not install random extensions you find out on the web; if you're uncomfortable doing this, just wait until the Mozilla folks approve 0.4, and you'll get prompted for an update. Sorry for the distraction. Get back to your novel!

Updated 11/9/2007: The official Mozilla site now has 0.4.
