Application launcher sidebar for Firefox

The menux extension for Firefox now has a feature where you can edit an XML file and a list of applications will appear in your sidebar when you click the Fedora Sidebar button.

To try this out:
1. Install menux 0.2.4.2 http://markbokil.org/index.php?secti...ux_install.php
2. drag out the Fedora button to your toolbar (right-click customize toolbar).
3. Click on the Fedora button and see a list of common Gnome, XFCE, KDE, and System apps.
4. Customize your own shortcuts list by reading the below instructions:

Menux 0.2.4.2 will add a new file called 'menux-sidebar.xml' to your Firefox profile folder (.mozilla/firefox) inside the chrome folder. The installed file is not nicely formatted. Remove this file or edit it using the human readable version posted here. Remove everything but leave one category left if you want. Add as many items as you want. Go crazy. Now when you click on the Fedora Button your sidebar will load with your shortcuts list! Eventually I will make a version for Windows users but it is nice to produce things for the OS community first.

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<sidebar>
