I'm surprised the OP didn't mention that Godzilla is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the U.S. premiere of Godzilla: Final Wars on November 29.

Bringing joy to other people who have a healthy and/or twisted sense of humor has made the time I spent writing Firesomething worthwhile. Plus, I learned a lot of little things about XUL/JavaScript that I didn't know before I started working on the extension.
In addition -- if you check out my website, you'll see that my other extensions add functionality instead of style.
The plugin was actually released the same day as 0.8.
Almost, but not quite. Someone (Dunderklumpen) on the MozillaZine forums made the suggestion for the extension the day Firefox was released, and I released a barebones extension two days later.
The new news, though, is that the extension finally got a user-friendly interface (no more digging around in about:config) last weekend. The extension has changed a lot over the past six weeks, thanks to the MozillaZine forums users who were interested in its development.
I knew I was going to garner criticism from different groups (web developers, the Mozilla branding team, purists, etc.) when I added that feature, which is why it's always been optional. It was also added at the behest of other Mozilla users, which is how the extension came to exist in the first place.
In a successive release I added the option to place the original product string (e.g. "Firefox/0.8") in the User-Agent string comment. Here's what a typical Firesomething UA string looks like:
When I'm not feeling depressed enough or cynical enough, I like to use job boards to remedy that. 'Cause it's always reassuring to know that there are companies out there who need programmers with 30 years of e-commerce experience using C#.
Yeah, that's right. Show them a stupid Powerpoint presentation that makes it clear how fast your product is compared to something else.
Except do it with real-time videoconferencing, and with the presentation originating from the other end. Use the highest-quality video and audio you can muster. And point out that you can transport realtime media with that level of quality for an entire state/country/planet, and accompany it with some snazzy CGI zoom-out and a gradually increasing cacophony of conversations. Wham, bam, please sign on the dotted line.
Back when I was a Sprint PCS swatter, Sprint rolled out their voice-recognition menu system for customer support. Since I had to call frequently on behalf of existing customers, I quickly found out the best way to get a live operator -- just say "cancel service". The system would play back a "please wait for the next representative" message that sounded a little bit depressed about the bad news, and bump the call to the top of the queue.
The fighter would probably appear to be a deep cave opening to a bat, rather than give the impression that the hangar is completely empty. They probably all flew into it at top speed expecting to find a great place to live.
XSS exploits don't always have to be launched from within the targeted site. There have been XSS vulnerabilities in browsers that enable a script on one domain to trick the visitor's browser into giving privileges for another domain. So a malicious site author could grab login cookies for other sites from its visitors without their knowledge, and use them to compromise user accounts if the cookies don't contain extra security checks (IPs, session IDs, etc.).

Original idea - Naming extension - anyone?
Extension discussion (obsolete) - Firesomething 1.0.x
Extension discussion (current) - Firesomething 1.1.2
