Wandora Firefox plugin is a plugin for the Mozilla Firefox browser. The plugin interfaces with the integrated Wandora webserver and can be used to extract information about the current web page in Firefox. The plugin should be considered an experimental feature.

Installation

To install the plugin in Firefox, find the plugin file in ffplugin/wandora-browserplugin.xpi. You may be able to install it by simply double clicking the file. If this doesn't work, launch Firefox and open the file using File/Open file menu item. Confirm plugin installation and restart Firefox.

Next you have to add Wandora button in your Firefox toolbar. Right click anywhere on your toolbar, for example on reload or home button. Select Customize in the popup menu. At the bottom should be a Wandora icon, drag and drop it somewhere on your toolbar.

The embedded HTTP server in Wandora application must be enabled to use the Firefox plugin. Start Wandora application if it is not running yet. Then go to Server menu and select Start server. You can also start the server by clicking the small icon in the lower right corner. If you wish, you can change server settings from the Server menu. Default settings only allow local connections.

If you changed your embedded server port number or want to connect to a Wandora application on another machine, you will have to change Firefox plugin settings as well. Select Tools/Wandora options menu item in Firefox and change the server address as needed. If you're using default settings you don't need to do this.

You should now be able to use Wandora Firefox plugin
