shortening from addressbar, text area not working (implemented)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can't add enhancement issue, sorry. 

I have installed your addon today, and in my opinion its half-baked. Shortening 
only addresses in html on the page is not enough - today I wanted to send about 
5 urls to my friend from addressbar (i have no original page I came from or the 
page is redirect - and I do not want to send redirects inside shortened url), 
and I also wanted to shorten address from text area. Both these are not 
possible using shortenurl, so anybody who want to do this must open shortening 
service by hand and copy/paste the address.

My proposal: 

It would be great if you add options to context menu for use shortenurl from:
 * address bar 
 * text area
 * plain text selection - + some check if it is url
 * clipboard - address is changed for shortened in clipboard

Thanks, and good luck with shortenurl

I found solutin for addressbar shortening, I can delete part of address in 
addressbar I don't want, then open modified in new tab and use "shorten this 
page url". 
Still, selecting and right clicking would be much better.

Oh, before I start to work on this, if you have added Shorten URL button to 
Firefox toolbar, you can actually drag-n-drop any URL strings onto Shorten URL 
button to shorten the long URL.
