I love your twitter bar and it is added on all my (fire)foxes. I think ‘keyboard shortcut’ to upload will make it more perfect.

Hey Chris,

i got a question. I got a strange error with twitterbar. Although i have ~100 chars, it states i wrote more than 140 and ask me if i want to try sending it. Confirming works like a charm, but i want this bug removed.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but the addon still keeps its settings. Where are the settings saved? I searched in the typical extension directory, but the twitterbar directory is deleted when uninstalling it.

Thanks for reflecting on this issue with your users :)

Send no message at all, please. Pop-ups are inacceptable, I almost uninstalled Twitterbar. The notification bar is better, but still annoying because unnecessary. I like the Twitter bar it’s handy, but it’s only one extension among others. If I feel like customizing my add-ons, I go to add-on options, where I change all my extensions settings. I don’t want one of them to think it deserves more attention.

I’d say prompt the user only if is necessary for the extension to function, and do it all at once. Thanks for your good work!

I just installed Twitterbar today so I never saw any popup windows. But I still find these messages annoying enough to have found this page via google (twitterbar annoying messages) in hope of finding a way to turn them of. I think it is a good idea to tell users about new functions of your plugin, but please make it optional.

Except for this, twitterbar is excactly the plugin I have been looking for.
