## Description

This extension fixes the common "Quick Entry with Autofill" issue in Firefox by using the official URL scheme to bypass privacy sandboxing reliably.

<strong>Features</strong>
<ul><li><strong>One-Click Task Creation</strong>: Instantly capture the current tab's title as the task name and the URL as the note.</li><li><strong>Customizable Shortcut</strong>: Access the feature quickly using <code>Ctrl+T</code>.</li><li><strong>Full Control</strong>: Use the extension options to toggle between opening the Things Quick Entry dialog or saving tasks directly to your Inbox.</li><li><strong>Smart Organization</strong>: Choose your target list (Inbox, Today, Anytime, etc.) for direct saves.</li><li><strong>Selection Control</strong>: Decide if you want the app to select the newly created task upon entry.</li><li><strong>Modern Architecture</strong>: Built on Manifest V3 for better performance, security, and long-term browser compatibility.</li></ul>

<strong>Why use this extension?</strong>

Firefox users often find that the native Things 3 autofill shortcut fails to grab the site title or link due to browser security restrictions. By utilizing the official <code>things:///add</code> protocol, this extension ensures that your task data is transferred accurately every time.
<blockquote><strong>Note</strong>: This extension requires the Things 3 desktop application for macOS to be installed on your system.</blockquote>
