I'm not sure how feasible this is, considering the interface is implemented as an overlay...

  • Priority changed from minor to major

  • Version changed from future to 1.1

The Firebug extension is probably worth looking at here, as it has a button to open the interface in a popup window (which is more or less the same thing, and this would enable that possibility as well).

I think this can be done by abstracting the existing overlay slightly and overlaying it on a placeholder in both the browser window and an independent XUL file.

Some code would have to be adjusted to handle the different contexts, but I believe it should be possible.

Targeting to 1.1 as a major feature
