About ErrorZilla Mod ErrorZilla Mod is a nice little extension for Mozilla Firefox that very simply, adds an image to the error page for down domains, along with some helpful buttons: "Try Again," "Google Cache," "Coralize," "Wayback," "Ping," "Trace," and "Whois."

I saw a digg article about the original, ErrorZilla, today, but I didn't myself really see a point until my buddy Jimi sent me a link to another digg article featuring a link to the Google blog which explained the same extension. He made a comment about the picture having to go. I agreed. It used to be the Mozilla dinosaur in a star. It was ugly, to say the least. I changed it to the Firefox logo. But in addition, I also changed the location of the "Whois" button. Now, it will use DomainTools.com. So, after changing some simple things, I rebuilt the extension and released it as ErrorZilla Mod.

Testimonials

I picked up a few of the comments from users at Mozilla's Add-ons website. None of them were requested. All are real users that I do not know:

"This is such a useful idea, it makes you wonder why this isn't part of FF as standard."
The Bear

"This is a useful little add-on, to be sure."
somethingXcore

"It's the best 404 add-on! I love..."

Donations

Obviously donations are not required for use, but are always welcome. I do spend a good amount of my time working on these projects. Time spent away from my family and friends. Donations made with the button to the right are secured by PayPal and will help to justify the time I spend working on these projects rather than with people in my life.
