I wrote this Jetpack as another entry for the Jetpack 50-line Code Challenge, it is simply a 'Restart' menu item for Firefox's 'File' menu.

When I was trying to come up with ideas I starting thinking about replacing a number of Firefox extensions I currently use with a lightweight Jetpack. So I instantly thought about Quick Restart, by Juan Carlos Avila B, which I have used a lot in the past, but it had a bunch of extra data packaged with it that I didn't want such as localization (albeit I'm sure this is something others want), xul, css, and images files.

I've used Quick Restart for some time now, and still think it is a great addon, but I'm pleased to say that there is a Jetpack option available now.

Have you ever wanted to run multiple Firefox profiles at the same time? If so then this is a quick note on how I achieve this.

On Windows:

On Mac:

This should all be done by default in my opinion.

I have been working hard on this for the last week, trying to get a better version out by getting an update I did for Greasemonkey into the trunk (this will take a lot of time, and will be an improvement), but I am now pleased to release a version of the Greasemonkey Ubiquity Command (ready for Ubiquity 0.5) which will accept an input string.

What is it?

It is a Ubiquity command which allows you find and execute Greasemonkey menu commands.

How do you get it?

1. Get Ubiquity 0.5 or greater.
2. Get Greasemonkey.
3. Get the Greasemonkey Ubiquity Command.
4. Get a UserScript with a menu command, and that is it!
