Github Address Bar Search Firefox Add-on

A couple of weeks ago Mozilla Labs & Twitter released a restartless Firefox add-on called "Twitter Address Bar Search", which actually did 3 main things:

  1. Added a app tab for http://twitter.com/ if you did not already have one.
  2. Added a Twitter search engine.
  3. Added results to the address bar's suggestion list for you when you typed @username of #hash, which would allow you to save time whilst searching for @mentions or #hashes

Then Dietrich partly ported the address bar mods to a add-on sdk module. So I took his module, made some improvements, fixed some bugs, and whipped up a extension that does basically the same thing as the "Twitter Address Bar Search" add-on, but for Github, and made with the add-on sdk.

Github Address Bar Search

The "Github Address Bar Search" add-on is the same as the "Twitter Address Bar Search" add-on, except it doesn't add a Github search engine, I leave that to you.
