(i) What do you get from Mozilla? Downloaded .bib files, or do  
you extract something from the web? That interests me as I have  
still no idea how difficult is would be to interface to a  
browser, something which I find quite compelling an idea.

(ii) Watching files is probably not too difficult, but certainly  
it's too late for 1.2.7, expect this in 1.2.8.

(iii) What do you mean: forgetting changes or receiving changes  
made to the disk file?

You're right, that is an interesting question.
