Since I always use Firefox as a single window with many tabs (and have become quite adept at switching quickly between tabs, but not so fast at switching between windows), having the Error Console open in a separate window always slows me down. What I've done is created a bookmark on my toolbar (right-click, select "New Bookmark") that points to chrome://global/content/console.xul. This way, I can control where it opens.

So my Twitter address gets posted in Jason's UStream chat, and all of a sudden my inbox explodes:

Gervase Markham has an insightful post about Facebook's lock-in policy with regards to e-mail. He has a way of writing about the situation that clearly explains the points I'd like to make but can never form into coherent paragraphs.

If you're ever feeling down, Pedro will lend a sympathetic paw:

I received this lovely letter from Facebook's lawyers earlier today. The key points are transcribed below:

"Dear Mr. Finke:

I am writing you concerning the Firefox extensions you posted at:

1. www.chrisfinke.com/addons/facebook-image-to-email and
2. www.chrisfinke.com/addons/facebook-scavenger

These plug-ins are deeply concerning to Facebook because, among other things, they violate Facebook's trademark rights, its Terms of Service, the security of the site and Facebook user privacy. For example, the facebook-image-to-email extensions permits people to circumvent Facebook security measures that protect user privacy and the scavenger extension allows people to harvest data off the site in contravention of the Terms of Service and also infringes upon user privacy. [...]

I insist that you immediately take down the extensions listed above. [...]

Sincerely,

Mark Howitson
Deputy General Counsel"

I've finally uploaded TubeStop to Mozilla Add-ons, but it can't be brought out of the sandbox (protected area for untrusted extensions) until it has some reviews and undergoes an editor approval process. If you use TubeStop and find it useful, I'd appreciate it if you'd write a quick review of it over at the Mozilla Addons page for TubeStop so that I can get that process started.
