Hi!
I'd like to thank you for such an add-on, I like it so much!
You've made things easy for me!

I already wrote this at AMO on my review, because I didn't know your project was located here.
Now I'll type here about my request:

Do you think is possible to add a "short URL" feature?
Something like Tinyurl.com, Goo.gl, etc.

This feature could be listed on the same list where "about:" entries are located.
Also, would be good if users were able to change web service via "about:config" just in case that webservice falls down.

I ask for this "second" feature because I faced a problem with "Toolbar Buttons", it used "xrl.in" webservice to generate "Short URLs" for one of its buttons, but since this website died, that "Generate Short URL" button just stopped to work.

OK, thanks for reading,
I hope my request could be well received.

See ya!
