This, so much this. Generally, I’m not a huge fan of the direction Firefox is going into when it comes to the integration of non-browser functionality. It’s even worse in this case, as we’re talking about the active endorsement of one proprietary web service among many. In related news: Why is such a major (maybe not technically, but at least in terms of the user interface) feature part of a dot-dot release?
