I just don't like using Firefox on my Mac. It sounds like Quicksilver for Firefox, and I might give it a try to see if it's useful. http://tumble.jalada.co.uk/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ MixWizard expressed interest in trying out my Compilation Tag Modifier script, but I agree having to install Strawberry Perl and compile a bunch of modules on Windows is a pain, so I looked into packaging the script into an EXE complete with modules.
