Maybe the proposed plugin would report itself as consuming the most CPU
cycles :-)

Anyway, good idea - I would certainly be keen to see such a plugin.

Has anyone on the list written a Firefox plugin and be willing to give
a short informal talk at either PSIG or CLUG about how to get started?
For free Pizza? And kudos? And accolades from your FOSS kinsfolk?

One that I would like to have is a "search" facility that will let me
find an existing open tab for a particular site/domain amongst all the
tabs and windows (and their histories) that I have running at any
particular time. I'd like to look into writing such a plugin.

Cheers,
