When Firefox starts up, this extension automatically fetches Abe Vigoda's current status from AbeVigoda.com, and displays it in a small panel on the status bar. It periodically does so again every so often, so that you always have relatively recent information on Abe Vigoda's status.
Of course, sometimes, "relatively recent" is simply not good enough. There are times when you absolutely need to know Abe Vigoda's status in an up-to-the-minute fashion. In such cases, you can click on the extension's panel in the status bar, which will bring up a popup menu. One option on the popup menu is "Recheck Abe Vigoda's current status"; selecting this will cause the extension to immediately fetch Abe Vigoda's status from AbeVigoda.com.
The popup menu also includes handy links to various web-based sources of Abe Vigoda-related information.
