Mozilla Extention HCalendar

It is pretty long time since I started using Mozilla engine browsers in everyday life. And about the same time I got addicted to Jewish way of life. What is Jewish life without correct time schedule (zmanim)?!
I don’t remember how much time past since I found a really great and helpful extension for Jewish calendar HCalendar. I think 3-4 years. And all this time I have only good words for the developers.

The only things I wanted to ask the developers – to add more city search possibilities. For a really strange reason, there is no Riga, Latvia where about 10 thousand Jews are living. But there is Vilnius, Lithuania. With all my respect to Gaon mi Vilna, but still there is twice less Jews then in Riga.

      Igor,
      I am really impressed with the speed you made this change. Thank you very much.
      Is it possible to add also Tallinn, Estonia? I am originally from Latvia, but now live in Tallinn, Estonia. So, I need to enter latitude and longitude for my location.
      Thank you again for your work.
      I have a suggestion, maybe it is possible to create a sort of web based api, which will update important information on fly. User could get any city name in the world and save settings. And then requests to remote api would update DST. I could help you with my knowledge and server storage.
