I've red the manpage for "top" (from heh heh "top" to bottom...),

and enter "fire", which would display processes related to
"firefox."

That's an excellent idea :)

Should we also allow for limiting by other stuff too, i.e. like the
'l' command in the mail/mutt mailer accepts a 'limit pattern' with a
syntax like:
...

Limiting by username or user ID

   ~u username          only show processes of user `username'
   ~U uid               only show processes of user uid
   ~U uidmin-uidmax     only show processes of users minuid-maxuid


username is already there...

u      Display only processes owned by a specific username (prompt  for
username).   If  the username specified is simply "+", then processes
belonging to all users will be displayed.
