Update: Firefox 4 : This addon can be used in Firefox4 from the "Addon Bar" - To make add on bar visible in the bottom: Rightclick on any part of the top bar, select "Addon bar" and you can see the icon of this application at the bottom right. I will find some other way to make this easy without the addon bar.
