*REVIEW UPDATED BELOW*

SearchWith is a fantastic extension, something I used on a daily basis with Firefox 2. But I recently discovered that this add-on, while compatible with Firefox 3, nevertheless causes some problems with the browser's UI.

Namely, it makes it difficult to open folders in the sidebar -- after double-clicking a folder, you have to close the sidebar and re-open it before the folder actually expands. It also forces the sidebar to remember your position in the list the next time you open it, making it a hassle to click the high-traffic items most people place at the top of the list.

This is a disappointment, but I have high hopes that the devs will be able to remedy the problem quickly.

UPDATE: I said I had high hopes SearchWith would get fixed, and I was not disappointed.

Less than twelve hours after contacting the devs with my problem, I received a reply diagnosing the bug and offering a quick fix, as well as a pledge to implement a permanent solution via update ASAP. Very impressive work, I say.
