I'm not too keen about it myself. But I thought you were in favour
with ditching everything pre 1.5? I guess we can keep using our
current dialog based options until Firefox stops supporting this
format.

Download Manager Tweak, Download Status Bar[1] and basically any
extension that started development at around the 1.5 Alpha/Betas.
Do you want me to go through all the extensions I've downloaded
for a full list?

[1] which is a pity since by changing the min version, the latest
versions of these two extensions work fine in FF 1.0.7 except for
the options panels of course. Grrr.

p.s. I've removed some of the unnecessary hacks from the "flash"
binding ready for refactoring. Will commit in a few minutes.
