Thanks, Aaron. Yes, but what I had in mind is allowing the user to keep a configuration file on his computer. A file that could be read by a user script to modify certain behaviors of the script, according to the user's preferences. If it's part of the extension, first, the extension is currently not easily updatable, and then when it is, every update will overwrite the user's configuration file.
