Is it Drupal? Firefox Extension

While discussing the news about Whitehouse.gov moving to Drupal at work today, I had an idea to create a bookmarklet to help me figure out whether the site I am browsing is indeed a Drupal site or not.  Then at lunch, Shawn (@shalosophy) had a great idea that this should be made into a firefox extension.  And so was born the "Is it Drupal?" Firefox Extension.

The extension simply puts a Drupal icon in your status bar which is gray when on a site that is thought to not be powered by Drupal, and turns blue when a Drupal site is detected.  This is my first foray into Firefox extension building so be kind.

And here it is for all to enjoy.

Very cool addon. Any plans to put it in the official Firefox addons site?

You may also be interested in the "Backend Software Information" Firefox extension. It does basically the same thing, but for many more software packages. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10493Of course the accuracy may vary.

There is already one firefox extension named Detect Backend why you created again? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10493

I'd be interested in the bookmarklet you spoke of.  I use Chrome instead of Firefox so I can't install the extension.

Just installed it, works great on the sites I went to! However it crashed my Delicious and Web Developer extensions - all I saw were blank toolbars and my Delicious buttons were gone entirely.

@walter, there is a known issue that drupal installations in a subdirectory are not detected.  I am working on better detection logic and will keep this page updated.

I second this request, but in my case it's to avoid installing more extensions.  Bookmarklets work out great, imo.

Nice sharing. I'm looking forward to updating.
A young boy and his dad went out fishing one fine morning. After a few quiet hours out in the boat, the boy became curious about the world around him. He looked up at his dad and asked "How do fish breath under water?"His dad thought about it for a moment, then replied, "I really don't know, son. Tiffany Paloma Picasso The boy sat quietly from another moment, then turned back to his dad and asked, "How does our boat float on the water?"Nnce again his dad replied, "Don’t know, son."Pondering his thoughts again, a short while later, the boy asks "Why is the sky blue?"Again, his dad replied. "Don’t know, son."The inquisitive boy, worried he was annoying his father, asks this time "Dad, do you mind that I'm asking you all of these questions?""Of course not son." replied his dad, "How else are you ever going to learn anything?"

Need A Bad Day to Get Into Heaven
It got crowded in heaven so, for one day and one day only, it was decided to only accept people who had really bad day on the day they died.
St. Peter was standing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, "Tell me about the day you died." The man said, "Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was having an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn't find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, of which I died from."
St. Peter couldn't deny that this was a pretty bad day, and since it was a crime of passion, he let the man in. He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. "Well, sir, it was awful," said the second man. "I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!"
St. Peter chuckled, let him into heaven and decided he could really start to enjoy this job. "Tell me about the day you died?” he said to the third man in line. "OK, picture this; I'm naked, hiding inside a refrigerator...."replica Chanel WatchesThe Poopie List
Ghost Poopie: The kind where you feel the poop come out, but there is no poopie in the toilet.
Clean Poopie: The kind where you poop it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper.Wet Poopie: The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and it still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your underwear so you won't ruin them with stains.Second Wave Poopie: This happens when you're done pooping and you've pulled your pants up to your knees, and you realize that you have to poopie some more.
Pop A Vein In Your Forehead Poopie: The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke.Lincoln Log Poopie: The kind of poopie that is so huge you're afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the toilet brush.Gassy Poopie: It's so noisy, that everyone within earshot is giggling.Drinker's Poopie: The kind of poop you have the morning after a long night of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the bottom of the toilet.Corn Poopie: Self explanatory.
Gee I Wish I Could Poopie Poopie: The kind where you want to poopie but all you do is sit on the toilet and fart a few times.Spinal Tap Poopie: That's where it hurts so badly coming out, you'd swear it was leaving you sideways.Wet Cheeks Poopie (The Power Dump): The kind that comes out so fast, your butt cheeks get splashed with water.The Dangling Poopie: This poop refuses to drop in the toilet even though you are done poopie-ing it. You just hope that a shake or two will cut it loose.Suprise Poopie: You're not even at the toilet because you are sure you are about to fart, but *oops* --- a poop!

I have recently experienced with Drupal these days. I am truly interested in it.
After a heavy night of drinking at the local bar, a drunk stumbles into a Catholic church and slowly makes his way into the confessional booth. There, the priest patiently awaits the man to begin his confession.
After a few minutes of silence, the priest politely taps on the window... nothing. The priest taps again and this time clears his throat a bit... still nothing. At this point the priest begins to lose his patience and bangs on the window.
Finally the dunk yells out... "Ain't no use knocking, there ain't no paper over here either!"
