*This is the first time I actually use Performancing, so apologies for any glitches. BTW: Pretty kewl how it manages to post to LJ, nae?!!*

Here's what I posted this morning. Point is that (ok, I could have dragged and dropped ... which, really, is aweful kewl, but still ...) I couldn't just click to have the item appear the way I can with my blogger bookmarklet. K, here's my post:

Right off the bat I have to say I'm impressed with P/FF's design ... very elegant ... makes me want to get back into XUL.

But, also right off the bat I have to quibble with usability. F8 is handy, clicking the "pencil icon" is handy ... and neither blog the page title and URL. To do that I have to rightclick / select / click ... either on the page or on the icon.

1st, since F8 is there to call up the editor starkly, and since a rightclick menu item could be added to call it up in stark mode, I suggest that clicking the icon should blog the present page.

2nd, in the spirit of Web2.0, I think that sort of functionality should be configurable; since I care, I'm willing to go through to maybe a 3rd or even 4th level of menu ... once ... to have the default behaviour match (for example) the del.icio.us button and blogger.com bookmarklet I click to tag and blog.

What do y'all think?
[NB: this /should/ have gone here directly, ifmozilla had appeared on the blog list, which it didn't. *sigh*]

Haaaaaaaa ... the list of LJ communities I can post to is truncated [i.e. this one didn't appear] as well as being in very broken alpha-numeric order.

meh
