This is fairly easily done already with many sites, if they accept an HTTP GET argument, using bookmark keywords... you can set up a bookmark to say, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s and then visit "w Firefox" to go to the Firefox Wikipedia page...
I'm not sure its useful for anything beyond search or direct navigation though...
- sep332 17y agoA few examples: 1. Compose and email to a friend in gmail. Type an address, then select it. Bring up taskfox, type "map this" (without hitting enter). A preview from Google Maps will appear. Scroll & zoom the preview to where you want it, then click "Insert". The map image will be inserted into your email. 2. Navigate to http://www.nec.co.jp/ http://www.nec.co.jp/ . Highlight some text you are interested in. Invoke the "translate this from japanese to english". The text is translated in-place, on the page. 3. Twitter without even opening a new tab! etc.
