Thank you for hearing me Hey Blair,

i would have two ideas for Taskfox:

one is running multiple instences of Taskfox at the same time:

http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/topics/when_will_taskfox_be_available

the other would be melting information through Taskfox

http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla/topics/melting_information_through_taskfox

perhaps this would be ideas that could be managed, that would get Taskfox a really cool feature.

Thank you for hearing me

The code is <a href="http://hg.mozilla.org/incubator/taskfox/summary" rel="nofollow">here</a> if anyone else has time to make an addon from it.

Perhaps the latter is indeed the plan once the concept has been developed further?

And the crashreporter didnt catch the exeption. Im on FF 3.5 on Windows. Besides, taskfox / ubiq really rocks! <: I had to watch the Video on Vimeo, because FF crashes repeatedly when trying to use the implemented -Tag one. And the crashreporter didnt catch the exeption.

You can do it in Notepad, but there are better ways. So no, you can technically already do everything that Taskfox provides - but there are better, more humane ways.

How little do people want to do when they're on a computer?

Also, there are certain changes that have been made to Firefox that Taskfox requires. One alternative is to use the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543" rel="nofollow">Nightly Tester Tools addon</a> to force addons to be compatible with Taskfox builds (use with caution!). darkmaster071: We’ve thought about providing it as an addon, but it would require too much work separating it from the Firefox code, and maintaining both versions.
