🎉 Confetti Extension for Firefox/Zen Browser

A simple Firefox extension that triggers a beautiful confetti animation when you press Alt+Z.

🚀 Installation

Method 1: Load as Temporary Extension (Easiest - No XPI needed)

1. Open Zen Browser or Firefox
2. Type about:debugging in the address bar and press Enter
3. Click "This Firefox" (or "This Zen Browser")
4. Click "Load Temporary Add-on..."
5. Navigate to the confetti-extension folder
6. Select the manifest.json file
7. Done! ✅

Method 2: Install from XPI file

First, create the XPI file:

Option A: Using Python (Recommended)

cd /Users/shimantorehman/Downloads/confetti-extension
python3 build-xpi.py


Option B: Using Terminal

cd /Users/shimantorehman/Downloads/confetti-extension
chmod +x build-xpi.sh
./build-xpi.sh


Option C: Manually create XPI

1. Select these files:
   manifest.json
   content.js
   canvas-confetti.min.js

⚠️ Note

As a temporary extension, it will be removed when you close the browser. You'll need to reload it each time you open Zen Browser, unless you:

1. Sign and publish it on Firefox Add-ons (permanent)
2. Use Firefox Developer Edition or Nightly with disabled signature checks

🐛 Troubleshooting

Confetti doesn't trigger:

Check the browser console (F12) for errors
Make sure you pressed Alt+Z (not Cmd or Ctrl)
Reload the extension from about:debugging

Extension disappears after restart:

This is normal for temporary extensions
Reload it from about:debugging → Load Temporary Add-on

Free to use and modify!

Enjoy your confetti! 🎊
