Update 11/11 Sandbox closed

It was fun while it lasted but Google has officially closed the Caffeine search sandbox. I will leave the code below for reference but be advised the search plugin will not work.

Google announced a new search engine preview today called "Caffeine" that can be found at http://www2.sandbox.google.com, and while it looks the same on the surface the results are certainly different. To simplify using this new engine I whipped up a plugin to add the new engine to the Firefox search bar.

Here's a little trick that I haven't seen on any of the many redundant of "Firefox 3 tips" blogs.
Simply drag images from a page to a local directory to save. How easy is that!

This will even work on sites use JavaScript to deter right click context menu saving..

First of all, if you're not browsing the web with third party cookies disabled please stop reading and disable third party cookies for your own protection. Third party cookies (TPC for the remainder of this blog) are generally a bad thing. Don't believe me, listen to Security Now!

Unfortunately, you may have noticed that some of your extensions broke after disabling TPC. There are a number of extensions (add-ons) which require TPC but it's always safer to whitelist trusted sites than to try to blacklist all the bad ones. Here are some extensions which require TPC exceptions and the domain required for the exception. You should try to whitelist the most specific level domain (subdomain) where possible.
