OK, that's clearly not worthwhile. I really have no idea how these 
clients decide whether you're idle or not. I seem to recall AIM using 
someone else's extension at some point in the past, and of course 
that's not an option for Fire.

If you have no mechanism for keeping track of whether the user is 
idle (and note that I'm talking about idle time, NOT whether the 
user's actively typing in the frontmost window), then my suggestion 
is irrelevant.
