Default QR Coding for Firefox

Hi Everyone -

One of the best things about the Android platform is the wide availability of QR Coding applications - such as zxing and ixmat.

We've released a Firefox plugin (at http://tandot.co.uk/scandot ) which embeds QR codes on the page are you're browsing, as well as embedding them in pages that are printed out. We think we've closed the QR loop with this - you can scan the page you're browsing on your phone and take that page elsewhere much easier than by messing around with email, retyping, bookmarking.

Would be interested to hear from anyone using it!

Regards

Dave / TANDOT

One function that Mobile Barcoder can perform that SCANDOT can't is to create a QR of a link from the right click context menu. That can be pretty handy to create a QR of a download link. Also it seems a bit buggy as well. Sometimes I click the generator button and no QR pops up. Another little cosmetic flaw is if you change the QR size and then close and reopen the dialog, it remembers the size but forgets the slider position.

On the plus side, occasionally Mobile Barcoder will trip up on a URL and not generate a QR. I haven't seen SCANDOT do this yet.
