I had seen the xpi file but had not realized that this was basically a ZIP file of the components needed to implement the add-on. But since I had kept digging, I found a thread which mentioned that point and was then able to read/understand the content.

I was happy to read the comment that your code had been GPLed, but I can't seem to find that code anyplace. Am I missing something obvious? or did it possibility get removed? This post was from a while ago some maybe it is no longer available. Any pointers appreciated.

The url showed your tag when I hit Amazon, but it's gone now that I'm purchasing a product. Hope it works. I’ve installed the extension.

(This isn't being picky—it's a full-on violation of the standard. <a href="http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/alttext" rel="nofollow">Ian Hickson agrees</a>.) Also, the website's user agent string sniffing doesn't offer the extension to trunk builds of Firefox (which call themselves “Minefield”); any Gecko-based browser should be able to refuse extensions it's incompatible with, so you only need to check for Gecko (if even that) before offering the extension.
