Currency value in real-time on desktop

[derek82]

Looking for an addon that would let me see the values for two (2)
currencies in real-time on the desktop without having to go to one of
those currency conversion progs; eg: CAD in one window and its value
GBP in a window next to it.

You can search Addons yourself by creating a keyword shortcut:

Name: addons: Search for extensions at addons.mozilla.org/firefox
Keyword: addons:
Location: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=site%3Aaddons.mozilla.org+inurl%3Aen-US%2Ffirefox%2Faddon+%S
Description: This is a Google search not the same as the one on the Search Bar for Addons

Name: addons:s Search addons.org with it's own search
Keyword: addons:s
Location: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=%s&status=4&show=50
Description: (create such shortcuts by right clicking on the search within an addons page)

Questions such as yours are best asked in mozilla.firefox.support
where questions are answered by other users, rather than in
a developer newsgroup.
