firefox extension for comparing prices for romanian online stores
UPDATE: if you took it from mozilla website, updates won’t work, you should manually uninstall it and install it again from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11290.altctrl is still experimental addon, and it needs reviews on the mozilla website in order to go to public state. so if you like it, you can add some review there.
you can take it from here:
altCtrl [if you have mozilla account] or from my server here [update: latest here]
info: i have included 4 ,5 stores untill now: emag.ro,pcgarage.ro, evomag.ro, marketonline.ro, dc-shop.ro , more will come as time permits. after you install it, you go to a store, browse to a product page, and click on altctrl statusBarItem you see on the right of your status bar. a div will appear with the prices from the other stores. if the row is green, then the product is available, red means otherwise. it is still in alpha stage, but it is usable. anyway nobody reads this blog , and i will tell only my friends about this post, so this release should be called friendly beta.
enjoy and save some money with this economic crisis .

You say it is released under GPL license, but I don’t seem to find the source code. Can you help me?
Found it. Sorry! :P
yes, because xpi is just a zip, and the source is made up of 2 .js files inside. that is all. i didn’t bother with a public svn just for the 2 files. if you are interested in contributing, we could setup a sf.net or google code project.
