nice additions, thankyou mike for doing such great work, I have an idea for
you, maybe in the future you could implement a tor-control option like
vidalia as an extention; with of course basic functionality like the " new
identity" option to switch up the tor nodes.  Right now Firefox 3
compatibility will be my favorite addition :)
Thanks,
defcon
