I've downloaded and installed the Mahalo Follow plug in for Firefox and have been using it for a week or so. But I think I'll have to disable the extension until a few basic changes are made. Most importantly, you should be able to right-click the Mahalo Follow (MF) results and have them open in a new tab. If they replace the currently open tab, I have to go through a whole rigamarol to get back to my original content (I'm not always in the 'search results' when I click on the Mahalo sidebar link).
The "open all' button does use new tabs. Perhaps adding an 'open checked' feature would work too.
Secondly, I really don't like how once I've closed the sidebar, it reopens everytime I hit 'next page' on the google search (specifically the News search in this case, don't know if it does it in other cases). Once I close MF after an initial search, it should remain closed until I enter a new search term.
Lastly, I'd love for the option to have each subsection collapsible, so I don't have to scroll to find the heading I want. Then I can click to see just the links that are important to me. Hopefully every topic heading would be above the fold this way. Right now I have to scroll to see if there is something I'm missing.
Other than that, I've found it a good product. I use it about 10-20% of the time I do a search on a term that Mahalo has in its system. It's easy enough to close when it's not needed. Even if I turn off Mahalo Follow, The Firefox search engine plug-in will still find some use. Now where is that Mahalo Ombudsman?
