MXtoolbox lookup tool Extension

A simple and small extension to check all kind of records on MXtoolbox.
I created this because I need to check A and MX records often and this saves me time.

Usage:
Default the extension starts with a: (A record), just fill in the domain name and hit go.
To check other kinds of information, like MX records or whois information, just type mx: or whois: instead of a:
It's also possible to check MX and A records directly from the context menu.

Changelog:

Version 1.4:
- Added options to context menu in Chrome. Right now only for A and MX record (assuming those are most frequently used).

Version 1.3:
- On request added focus on input field when opening popup

Version 1.2:
- Solved problems with JS files, not loaded due to security settings.
- fixed icons (added more sizes).

Version 1.1.2:
- Renamed icon.

Version 1.1.1:
- Issue with manifest file, unable to update or install extension.

Version 1.1:
- Ability to choose record from select list
