This is a good add-on, but at the moment I have to knock off a couple of stars because--I don't know why, but--the keyboard shortcut does not stick. I don't have this issue with other extensions with keyboard shortcuts. The shortcut for this extension works for a little while and then inexplicably stops working. I thought maybe it was the shortcut I was using (Alt-C) but I have tried using a different shortcut and the new shortcut (Alt-Q) has the same issue. Other issues that I assume are limitations of Firefox and so do not factor into the rating: - Maximize button on pop-up window is disabled/greyed out--pop-up windows cannot be maximized with the maximize button - would be nice if the pop-up windows was the same size as the window it was "popping up" from, rather than a pre-determined size
