Is it still the case ? I'm currently working on a Tactile browser based on Firefox addon called Blump.it and would like to integrate an awesomebar with Ubiquity integration usable on a tactile mode. Thanks for your answer. Hi,

Although "power" users are more keyboard oriented, I know that most other users are very mouse oriented. Perhaps using something like the Lightbox forward back buttons that popup when you mouse over? Or something on the side that expands when the mouse gets near (as to not cover something you might want to click on...)

Thanks for making the video, Aza. However, I am put off with this idea of yet another content area. Why aren't the Awesome Bar results just shown in the tab's content area? That way, the user doesn't have to deal with dragging and managing another window. As an added bonus, this new organization would allow for more results or richer results to be displayed (because a tab's content area is infinitely bigger -- just think, no more page chunk-ing!) Furthermore, if the user wanted to get back to the results, they could click the back button. To me this makes more sense. Like "Googling" your Places history and bookmarks. "Firefoxing" anyone? That looks great! Thanks for making the video, Aza.

It's just a matter of showing people how it works, as Aza did with the video above... I think videos like that should come packaged or linked with every new Firefox install. My mom never realized she could search directly from the Firefox toolbar until I showed her how - it just never occurred to her. Now she's Ctrl-King and all the time.

Of course, you have to fetch the page to check if it has a preview stylesheet, and arguably why not show the preview regardless? And then, what is the difference between this funny awesome bar and a tab? That's where I start being unsure about the preview... A better preview would be one that really was a preview, just a snippet or summary or something. That's trickier, I guess. You could have [link rel="preview" type="text/html" href="xxx"]; you'd still have to fetch the entire page just to detect the presence of a preview, which is lame and slow, but it would be in some sense more general and resource oriented. But I'm not sure it'd actually be nice because of the latency. Unless you prefetch. [link rel="stylesheet" media="preview" href="xxx"] would be an obvious way.

Appreciate it.. I'm having a problem with Ubiquity and can't get it to work for me. Here the results of the test run I did. I don't know how to resolve this issue. Thanks, Error in test testTagCommand: undefined (in file:///Users/migwic/Library/Application%20Support/Firefox/Profiles/bt8qu985.default/extensions/ubiquity@labs.mozilla.com/tests/test_tag_command.js, line 54) Aza,
