John,

That would be absolutely perfect, thank you very much!

Nothing else is blocking (though there are a few bugs filed which
would make things a little cleaner), the only other thing worth
mentioning is that a while ago there was vague chatter about a
privileged API for being able to manipulate (i.e. populate) file
upload input elements from extension content scripts :)

(Oh, and NPAPI support on non-windows platforms would be amazing, but
I know that's coming :))

Thanks again
