The Movie Ratings Firefox extension has gone through many revisions over the past couple of years due to the changing Rotten Tomatoes HTML code. They recently released an API which will make the extension a lot more stable. Along with the Firefox update I have also updated the Chrome extension to be identical since Chrome is my primary browser. All comments regarding the extensions should be directed here.

Usage: Highlight the name of a movie, right click, and select “Get Movie Rating” from the context menu. If the name of a movie appears as a link you can forgo highlighting it and just right click on the link.

Supported Browsers:

• Firefox
• Chrome

Update: The extensions now support IMDb ratings.

Any updates will always show up on the Chrome extension first. Hint, use Chrome!

I’ve made a small update to the Movie Ratings extension to get by a limitation in how Rotten Tomatoes handles non-word characters (thanks Eric).

Update it through Firefox or download it here.

Many people have noted that for the past week HTML code is displayed instead of movie ratings. This is because RottenTomatoes.com made a slight modification to their layout which threw off my parser. I have fixed the issue and the next version (1.4.7) is going through Mozilla’s approval process. It should hopefully be up soon. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime you can install the fixed version without going through Firefox’s add-on updates.

Steps:

1. Download Movie Ratings 1.4.6 with Hot Fix.
2. Uninstall your current version of Movie Ratings from the Add-Ons window.
3. Drag the downloaded file on to the Add-Ons window to install it.
4. Restart Firefox.

Version 1.4.7 was approved by Mozilla. If you already have Movie Ratings you will receive a notification for an update. If not, download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9279.

Version 1.4.5 of Movie Ratings has been released. The only change in this update is a fix for text appearing white in certain Personas themes. Many people have requested IMDB ratings so I’ve started some preliminary work on it, but my life has been busy lately so I can’t give an eta on when it will be finished. Rest assured, it’s coming.
