Respects to Cusser..... FYI from thread http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 448#523448 there is a hack to Cusser's cool extension to open it in a new window or the same window both involve hacking the contextarea.js and substituting for to either
1. same window
2. new window
just follow the directions in the aforementioned thread
Code: Select all
getBrowser().addTab(searchUrl);
1. same window
2. new window
just follow the directions in the aforementioned thread

This might be a good one to have for all.
Will try out once the new extension manager is working properly (probably another couple weeks).

Yeah this is what I used to use Conquery for. But this is better for my purposes becasue it has the icons in the menu, quick & easy to find Google or Amazon or what ever.
Another great extension Cusser. I remember you having some hard starts on the Image Toolbar and now another great extension. Maybe you could link to the resources/references you used to ramp up on extension development?

Mostly http://www.xulplanet.com and other people's extensions. I have a history programming in C, with a bit of C++ and OPL (PSION language), so I managed to adapt to JavaScript pretty quickly. As for XUL, it's just like HTML, so using XULPlanet as a reference, it's relatively easy.
Oh yeah, I'll update this soon, I'm a bit busy right now. On the plus side, you can now get 6 of my current 8 extensions from the Extension Room and possibly Firefox Help.
