Reader Bar marks the previous scroll position (the screen area visible prior to scrolling, to be exact). It helps to keep track of your reading position, especially when scrolling at the very bottom or very top of a page, when scroll steps are not integral.
Available in userscript and bookmarklet flavours. Tested with Firefox and Firefox w/ Greasemonkey.
Changes from 0.2 to 0.21: Added z-index to the marker element, to make it work right on sites like Wikipedia.
Update Jan 10th: The marker currently blocks clicks in a part of the page. This will be fixed shortly.

I’m looking for a Firefox extension that marks the boundaries of the previous viewport after scrolling, e.g. in most cases, a horizontal bar that, when you scroll down, signals where the bottom of the previously visible screen was.
Does something like that exist, or does anyone have an idea how that could be achieved using only JavaScript? I would be willing to create an extension or userscript but … nevermind, I just thought of something. Stay tuned.
Update: It is done. Enter Reader Bar 0.2, available in userscript and bookmarklet flavours.

Mozillan browsers (SeaMonkey, Firefox, Flock, …) cut off tooltips after 80 chars, including tooltips from HTML TITLE attributes: bug 45375, bug 218223.
After the bug has been open for six and a half years (opened 2000-07-13), it has finally been resolved - on the Seamonkey trunk, which means the change will not make it into the popular browser before version 3.0.
Long Titles (amo, home page) is an extension for Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape that fixes this annoying behaviour. It prevents tooltips from being cut off, and also enables line breaks within TITLE attributes.
Another little step on making Firefox more useful…
