Great job, thanks for pushing this through!

This rocks. Thanks for sticking with it through review Alex.

Why ChatZilla? I mean, as a ChatZilla dev, obviously I'd like the thing to be used by as many people as possible, but I don't really see why people would want to integrate ChatZilla into just 'any' xulrunner app. You can install it as a XULRunner app of its own already (http://cz.rdmsoft.com/xr/) and I think the goal is, in the end, to allow even user-level installations (which shouldn't need root or admin rights) of XULRunner apps, in which case I can see little reason to prefer ChatZilla installed as a "Toolkit" extension over ChatZilla as a standalone app.

(From Alex: It may not be appropriate. I'm simply listing it as a candidate.)

Thanks! I'm more excited about being able to use Adblock with WebRunner, though. So double congratulations to you!

Really *Nice* Work. Congratulations.
Perhaps this is a step to think "the toolkit" as a "platform"; anyway, this is great.

PS: I am thinking on a text to speech and speech to text toolkit extension :).
