So
What do you think of this, in place of the current appearance?
Just cleaning up the code because of my revelation in the previous post, and thought I'd try some new stuff out.

I liked the extension but didn't like the apperance, so I've <a href="http://komodo.nique.net/~grayrest/flashblock.png">modified the look</a> and uploaded the result to http://komodo.nique.net/~grayrest/flashblock.xpi . I didn't do anything else though, so I didn't increment the version.

I like your look better, too. One issue though: On http://www.shockwave.com, the click-to-show button makes the second flash area larger than it normally would be... Any chance on fixing this?
Note: Development efforts should concentrate on one implementation. I think at this early stage, there's little use in having multiple extensions for the same thing. Perhaps this should form a project on mozdev, so we can join forces? I can think of several improvements for this...

That's pretty. I'll post my modified version on monday, I cleaned up the XBL so it should be easier to modify the appearance. I'm still not sure about having a button vs. clicking the entire thing.
There's still the issue of having the binding in userContent.css, since every time you install it'll overwrite that file. Sorta annoying if you have existing bindings there. Anyone know a solution to this? I haven't found any good answer yet.

Hmm, in a recent conversation I had with Jochen (author of the AutoHide extension), it seems he has added:
@import url("chrome://autohide/content/autohide.css");' to "ua.css" in programmdir/res.
Althought this makes it profile independent.

It looks like html.css in that same directory would be a good place to go, but that would make it global. If XPInstall had a method to append text to a file, I'd just add a line like that to userContent.css, but unfortunately no such method exists.

Ted, i think this can be achieved using jslib ( http://jslib.mozdev.org )

Can it? I'm not sure that you can get access to XPCOM in the install.js. I tried getting a nsPromptService to make a nice question dialog, and never had success. Perhaps I didn't try hard enough, but it was telling me Components was not found.
I just talked to doron on #mozilla, and no, you can't access XPCOM.
<luser> can you access XPCOM components in an XPI script?
<doron> luser: nope
<luser> sucks.
* doron/#mozilla agrees
