It also detects microformats in the page, so you didn't need any UI at all. I understand what you want, and I have thought about something like that. The biggest problem is that Firefox doesn't allow dynamic toolbar buttons that are part of the toolbar palette that is used by Customize Toolbar. Brad:

The entire toolbar is very bulky and most often unnecessary. I'd like to be able to customize the items in Operator and put them anywhere in the browser chrome. Let me know if I'm just blind and this is already possible. Is there any chance of getting a much simplified and non-intrusive UI for Operator?

That's quite annoying! I believe the alert may be coming from some DHTML the site is employing from http://www.dyn-web.com/ ?
