Description

Display the Primo Normalized XML (PNX) for a record, from within the Primo end-user interface. From the full display of a record, right-hand click to display the Firefox menu which includes the option to "Look Up PNX". Select this, and the PNX record will be displayed in a new window.

This code simply opens a new window, adding "&showPnx=true" to the URL of the page currently open, so it only works against Primo v2. It works fine in FF2, and FF3. Just drag the .xpi file into a Firefox window to install it.
