This extension is awesome.  Thanks for sharing.  I like how the mouse 
turns into a decoration piece :-)

1. The help page says / takes a pattern, but it seems to be plain text 
instead of a regex.

2. Is there a way to escape / so you can search for http://?  Tried 
both ctrl-v and \.  Without regex it was just easier typing in the whole 
thing, and it it was longer to mark it would be easier to use the mouse 
to select it.

3. I tried to search for an anchored url with /\lsomething.com and 
/something.com\l but neither worked.  Is that feature broken, or do I 
misunderstand how it is supposed to work?  linksearch/lks works.

4. The other thing that would be nice was if the search term would not 
disappear when going to the next url.  So search for x on page1.html, 
then go to page2.html and "n" should search search for x.

5. guioptions: allow hiding of tab bar as :buffers does it better 
anyways.  I tried the firefox forceHide preference but it did not work 
or was reset by something.  The Hide Tab Bar and Tab Killer extensions 
do not work either.  The former has a key combination to hide it a menu, 
but doesn't just do it and the auto-hide 
corrupts menu with short timeouts.  Tab Killer force multiple windows.

6. Redraw is needed quite often, including F when just doing general 
browsing.  Hints appears to be there, just at the wrong place relative
to content.

7. If there a lot of hints use 3 letters just like we switch from 1 to 2 
now.

8. Restart does not work.  Window closes, but firefox-bin process seems 
to hang and not come back to life.  QuickRestart extension works for 
me.

9. bmarks [filter] does not seem real useful when you a lot of 
bookmarks.  Hint the output?

10. If you have a lot of boomarks I cannot see the whole list with 
:bmarks.  The top scrolls outside the screen and the ctrl-p does not 
work at enter prompt.  Even :tab bmarks doesn't do the trick (including 
with nomore).

10. It should be possible to remove bookmarks when looking at your 
filtered output as well, otherwise I think your only option is to 
remember the url, or copy it with the mouse from the :bmarks output 
(assuming you do not want to this with :bmarks!).

11. In the help file :bmarks [filter] vs. :delm[arks] {marks}, and their 
! variants seems to be inconsistent.  If :bmarks list all filters should 
:delm not delete them all?  It's ok if :undo works for bookmark 
operations.  

12.  It would be neat if I could trivially get to the Bookmark Tags 
version of the bookmark window in addition to the default one (i.e. a 
customization 
kind of deal).

13. In hints mode ctrl-o opens a url instead of my new favorite back 
key.
