This is my first attempt at writing a firefox extension.  It will allow looking

I hope this might be useful!

G'day,

Probably just me being difficult, but would it be possibe to:

1) have the window close when the mouse leaves it, instead of relying on
clicking the 'X'

2) Have a seperate link in the info area for the inventory and instructions, so
that if someone on limited bandwidth or "pay per download" wanted to look at the
instructions, they weren't forced to look at the inventory page first.
Additionally, this would help people see what instructions are currently
available.

Anyway, that's just my thoughts...and me being difficult :)

That was my original plan - however I found that it actually is somewhat
annoying, because too often the window would close by mistake.  Also, by
leaving it open, it allows comparing multiple sets (popups) at the same
time.

Maybe once I add some preferences, I could allow changing that behaviour
per user.

Yes, I actually do plan on doing something very similar to that.

Not at all!  I appriciate the suggestions :)
