This project uses PHP's gethostbyname() to show end users the IP address of their current web page.
- Install extension from Firefox Add-ons site, or download the latest release and drag and drop the xpi file on Firefox
- Browse to any webpage on the internet, and click the new "IP" button the top right
- Enjoy!
To manually build the extension bundle (.xpi) from the source you need to install the Firefox Add-on SDK. Then execute the command jpm xpi from the add-on’s directory:
jpm xpi
This command will produce a file named ip-check.xpi. You can simply drag and drop it on Firefox to install the Add-on.
