PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

If you know bash script, then you might find Launchy pretty useful. I know I did. Sure, there are bookmarklets but those are quite limited (which is a Good Thing™).

(The suggested default uses are nothing to really get excited about but once you point it to your custom script, thats when the fun starts.)

Could you give an example of ways you have used the addon?

One example is to view images on (the brand new, even more user hostile) Flickr without using JavaScript. Another was watching images on another site which had a fairly strict bandwidth limit, fortunately their material was mirrored on internet archive wayback machine so I could get it from there.

These were launchy + wget + sed and then fed back to the browser type of things. I'm sure a more imaginative fellow might come up with something more grand.

I don't know JavaScript, but wouldn't a Greasemonkey script be more suited for this task?

Yes it would probably for these tasks. I don't know JS either.
