Started playing around with JS yesterday to create my first WebExtension for Firefox,
and published the Deep thought Tabs Firefox addon today.

Any suggestions/comments on the UI and the source are welcome…

    I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere, so for those who enjoyed the “deep thoughts,” they’re by Jack Handey.

      Thanks for the info! I did not remember where these were from :-)
      I found the quotes in a txt file on an old disk while cleaning my backups.

      I’ve updated the add-on now.
      Deep Thought Tabs v1.1 now has a quote attribution as well (among other updates).

        Jack Handey is a comic genius. He wrote many of the weirder SNL skits of the 90s like Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, and Deep Thoughts was an early feature in Army Man Magazine (“America’s Only Magazine”):

        Although Army Man was never widely distributed, it gathered a lot of attention in the comedy world. Two of its writers (John Swartzwelder and Jon Vitti) were picked up alongside Meyer to be part of the original writing staff of The Simpsons by the show’s developer and show-runner Sam Simon, an enormous fan of the magazine. Eventually other Army Man writers would go on to write for The Simpsons in later seasons, namely Jeff Martin, David Sacks, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Tom Gammill, Max Pross, Kevin Curran and Billy Kimball.

        All of Army Man is available at armymans.tumblr.com.

      For me deep thought is often provoked by a lack of external stimulus.
