Twitter Background Restorer - Restore your own Twitter background

Twitter Background Restorer is a Firefox add-on that allows you to restore your own background image on Twitter. It converts your uploaded image into a Base64 representation and inserts it into the page using the background-image: url() method.

Add-on summary

The extension works by inserting a new CSS rule on the body of a twitter page based on the settings you choose. When you 'upload' the background image to the extension, it actually converts it into a Base64 representation of the image and stores it locally in your chrome extension storage.

This Base64 data is then inserted into the page using the background-image: url() method - which solves the problem of being unable to pull an image from an extra-twitter location (whether it be from another hosted source or from the local machine).

User reviews

This add-on stopped working on Firefox. I use it on multiple other browsers and those versions work perfectly.
