Good find. Initial thoughts: 1) Judging by the status message that Firefox produces they are using the OSM tile server. Is that allowed? 2) For some reason I can't get it to overlay Google Streetview over Ordnance Survey maps. 2) If you flip the Google Streetview option on and off quickly you can identify streets that OSM doesn't have yet.
