hi all,
As part of my final semester project I wrote an extension for firefox.
The project is about a firefox extension that adapts the homepage of the browser to the user.
Everyone who browses has habits they dont know. Each day as soon as people come to the office they check their mail. In the noon , say, they checkout slashdot and at night they update their blog. The heuristic applied should make appropriate decisions and find out the most appropriate page to load given the time of day.

Purpose it will serve:
It will make the browser more intelligent. The browser will be able to predict what site the user intends to browse at the given time.
Problem it will solve:
Presently the homepage is a static item in the browser. It doesnt change with the user let alone with his habits. It should basically answer to the question
"What site should I browse now?"

Though presently it is not intelligent as it is dreamt-to-be it serves as a starting to build upon. I wanted people to use it and provide feedbacks and report bugs.

You can download the firefox extension
here
After it downloads just drag and drop the .xpi file into the browser and it should install properly.
Thanks one and all and looking forward to your support.
