I see. I think the confusion was that you have to put your mouse over
the icon, not the text. I didn't realize this at first. You might
consider expanding the hover area to the entire toolstrip.

FWIW, the issue with focusing the first tab is fixed in the next dev
channel release which should come sometime this week.

I see :). So why have the preferences page served remotely at
http://www.aniweather.com/aniweather.config.html? You can also package
this page directly in the extension so that it (and the toolstrip) can
directly access the storage (err bookmarks, I mean) API.

I think personally, I would like to be able to see all of my cities
weather when I hover over the toolstrip -- either as a content script
overlay or by sliding the toolstrip open to reveal more
icons/temperatures.

But this is a great start. Thanks for sharing it.
