Can someone make an Firefox add-on?

[Aleksandersen]

Hi,

I really want this Firefox extension. Then I would really appriciate it if you could make it! :wink:

My idea is pretty simple:

I want a percentage view in the status bar that wll show how many percent (of total bandwidth) of the current website where fetched from cache.

60% would show that 60% where fetched from cache, and 40% from the web.

Thanks in advance! =D>

that seems a bit tricky but good luck finding someone to do it. I wonder that myself sometimes.

I wonder that myself sometimes. I think many are wondering that. Especially web developers trying to cut of a few bytes here and there.

I really wish I have had the time and knowledge to do this myself. Unfortunately I have to rely on others.

I think you should try to ask this question on MozillaZine.org's Extension Development (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=19) forum, probably more Firefox hackers there.
