BugMeNot Button

Here’s a minor update the BugMeNot Browser Button™. It’s a little javascript-bookmarklet for your browser toolbar/favorites that will popup the BugMeNot Password for the page you’re currently viewing.

In Mozilla/Firefox, just drag it to your Favorites/Bookmarks toolbar. If you reach a registered-only news page, just click the button. In Internet Explorer (which you shouldn’t use anyway), right-click the link and choose “Add to Favorites”. Popup-blockers like Google Toolbar might interefere with its operation, unfortunately.
Still haven’t found a way to make it pop up above the current browser window...

EDIT: I see what you mean about the plugin; not bad for Firefox users. The bookmarklet, on the other hand, works for pretty much any browser.
