http://synapsedirect.com/files/folders/user_guides/entry1084.aspx A short movie to show chickenfoot script working inside firefox 2.0 to automatically bring up the provider's address in Yahoo Maps.
I don't see any flashing ... just viewed it now. It does look like the script itself is not correct ! But it seems to work.
If you want to learn more about chickenfoot, there's a google video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8967914974980683249 which takes about an hour to view.

I have the Yahoo Maps running for providers - very slick. If I click the firefox icon from Synapse (with no firefox windows open) I have to hit refresh to get the script to trigger (while viewing the http://127.0.0.1:8001/cgi-bin/searchprovider.html page) If Firefox is open (regardless of what the browser is browsing), I don't have to hit refresh (it automatically goes to the map).

Update on Chickenfoot scripts URLs have changed ... see this post for details. "Trigger URLs will need to be updated". http://synapsedirect.com/forums/permalink/8004/8003/ShowThread.aspx#8003
