Justin, thank you so much for the info about Happyhour! It's really great! I wrote a super-mini tutorial about it on my blog: http://blog.springenwerk.com/2008/05/local-opensocial-development-and.html
As soon as I have some time I'll look into packaging it into an extension. I've built Firefox extensions before, so it shouldn't be too hard.
