FoxyMeter June competition
« on: May 26, 2008, 09:04:55 PM »
How far have you surfed?...
Install FoxyMeter Firefox add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3411

This adds a dashboard like odometer to your status bar which increments every time you view a new page. Place your mouse over the display to see how many pages you view per day.



Let's check at the end of June what's your daily average is.

I just installed it few minutes ago, so my total count/average stands at 10/10.

I like it. Lets make this our June competition. It would be nice if we could reset it at the beginning of the month. A challenge for those of you who want to figure out how to reset it. Sure it's stored in some type of configuration file.

Moving this topic to Other, making sticky, changing Subject.

Thanks for an upgrade :)
I think, if we stick to "average pages per day" instead of "total", it shouldn't matter, when anyone started.

A challenge for those of you who want to figure out how to reset it.

To reset the counter...

Type "about:config" in the address bar.
Type "fmeter" in the filter bar.
Set "fmeter.cnt" to "0" and set "fmeter.date" to the current date.

Nice work Kip!!! So those of you who want to reset at the beginning of the month can now follow Kips instructions or like Broni said we can just use the average count.

We can use both. I think the average will be more fair, in case someone won't start the count at the beginning of June.
Total-493, avg-246 here....just as a warm up :)
