[1.1.0] (2026-07-30)

Adds an options panel and two new ways to reach ChatGPT.

Options panel in about:addons with five settings: model (experimental), temporary chat, web-search hint, where results open, and a prompt template.
Right-click selected text and choose "Ask ChatGPT" to open ChatGPT with that text filled in.
Keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+G does the same for the current selection, and opens an empty chat when nothing is selected. Rebindable via Manage Extension Shortcuts.
Documented that ChatGPT no longer submits prompts passed in a URL, so a second Enter is needed. This is an upstream change to chatgpt.com.
gpt <query> address-bar search is unchanged.
The options panel, right-click item, and keyboard shortcut require Firefox 112 or newer. Older versions keep the gpt <query> search unchanged.
Permissions added: storage, menus, activeTab. None of them adds a line to Firefox's install prompt.

First release of software.

favicon - Wanted to use the OpenAI ChatGPT icon but worried about copyright. Without granted permission, have to roll with this icon. (Powered by OpenAI!)
Adds ChatGPT as non-default search engine. Queryable by "gpt <search_query>" in user's URL bar. Can configure through browser settings.
