## Description

Reddit Random Post adds a single toolbar button that sends you to a random
post from whatever subreddit you're currently viewing.

How it works:
1. Browse to any subreddit (e.g. <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/89f96545cfc183bf8b3b422a3f174f9c9aad0f5ce154a28df1ad7b69f93fde98/http%3A//reddit.com/r/aww" rel="nofollow">reddit.com/r/aww</a>)
2. Click the toolbar icon
3. You'll be taken to a random post from that subreddit's top posts of the
   past year

If you're not on a Reddit page, or the page isn't a subreddit, you'll get
a notification explaining why instead of a silent failure.

No account, login, or personal data required — it only reads the subreddit
name from the current tab's URL and fetches that subreddit's public post
listing directly from Reddit.
