Firefox Extension for Tomboy: Wereboy

Wereboy is an extension for Firefox which allows you to take notes in Tomboy from your browser. It allows you to click an icon on your Firefox toolbar to create a new note in your Tomboy directory. The note will be titled with the title of the current webpage, or the text you have currently selected. It will also put a link in the note to the web page you were on when you created the note.

FAQ

Why is it named Wereboy?
In the fine tradition of kludging two names together, I first came up with Foxboy, but decided Wereboy sounded cooler. Then, a few minutes into coding I realized "Wereboy" actually has the nonsensical meaning of "Manboy", but stuck with it anyway.

Is Wereboy open-source?
Wereboy was coded using Jesse Ruderman's simple Thumbs extension as a skeleton for a Firefox extension, and is licensed under the same open terms. That is, LGPL, GPL, MPL.
