I can only describe my opinion by giving an example of a firefox extension I like to use. I use an extension (or Add-on in FF3 terminology) called Cooliris Previews. This extension is nifty in that it allows you to open a sub window (pop up window) for URL's on web pages. From there you can "lock" the sub window down and mouse over other URL's and it updates the sub windows. I find this very handy when going through helpdesk cases in our helpdesk system or emails in my webmial system. The problem is, before bringing up the sub window, each URL you mouse over brings up the cooliris previews icon to the right of the link (location configurable). By default, mousing over the icon brings up the sub window. People that use cooliris would quickly find this very annoying because sub windows will constantly open up by accident. So after changing the default to only allow opening of a sub window by clicking the cooliris icon, it's more pleasant to use. After a while though even this becomes annoying, because 90% of my browsing time I don't use/need cooliris previews, and many times I accidentally click the icon and bring up sub windows by accident again (you'll realise how easy it is to make this mistake when using it). So now I have the bottom right toolbar which enables/disables the extension, so I no longer see the cooliris icon to the right of every URL I mouse over. Sometimes though (when I have multiple FF Windows open) that toolbar icon turns itself on automatically, and does so in every tab that's open in every window. It's not perfect (and maybe the developers concentrate more on having this feature enabled in a FF browser than not) but I have come to the point of considering removing the extension because the pop ups can be annoying when browsing.
