Hey Jonah, I have an idea for an extension, I was wondering if you could help architect it a bit so that I could have a little guidance in developing my first extension. I think it'd be nice if there were an extension that used Pygments (http://pygments.org/) to color the contents of files that firefox chooses to show. like if viewing a python, js, or any other file within firefox (like if you clicked on a link). it'd be neat if i could start it as a toggle in the status bar (like ie tab) and then over time maybe do some automagic to have it try to figure out when to turn on. I know you're pretty busy, so if you don't have time, that's cool. I don't either, but every once in a while i make a little time for some personal projects, and i think this is interesting. Thanks for keeping us up on Minefield.

I installed Firefox 3 Beta 3 on my work laptop a few weeks ago. I wrote two search bars for internal use at my company last year (based on your helpful Google Toolbar tutorial, btw), so I wanted to see if they worked fine in FF3. After going through the hassle of security requirements I didn't find any problems. But the security stuff was a pain: I obviously couldn't put internal tools on the Mozilla site, and I don't have an https server to use, so I had to go through the non-intuitive 'signing' process. I'm liking FF3 a lot, but like you I won't switch until all my favorite extensions are supported. One of the most helpful changes I've noticed is that auto-complete in the address bar doesn't just work by url, it works by title too. So typing "monkey" will list any url containing that string, or whose title contained that string (i.e. this site).
