I have never written a hook and last i looked (a while ago) and it looked hard to do. I lost link on how to write them. If someone can give me an idea or example it would be great. There are other Mozilla packages that are missing hooks, however at this time i cant remember what ones off hand. I'm on a honeymoon number 1. not sure when im going to get back.
