I had some free time a little while back to create a Mapquest toolbar for Firefox. I never got time to finish it, but I figured I'd post the code and maybe find someone who has the knowledge and time to modify it. It's working as is, but it needs a couple more things: remembering the last selected state, select text on click, links, and packaging it up into an XPI. In browser.xul:
<script type="application/x-javascript" src="chrome://browser/content/mapquest.js" />
<!-- Much later ... -->
<toolbar id="mapquest-bar" class="toolbar-primary chromeclass-toolbar"
toolbarname="Mapquest" accesskey=""
fullscreentoolbar="false" mode="icons"
customizable="false"
defaultset="mapquest-button"
context="toolbar-context-menu">
<hbox id="mapquest-controls" fullscreencontrol="true">
<label control="some-text" value="MAPQUEST" />

And in mapquest.js:
function getMapquest()
{
var _url = "http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?tb=1&address="
_url += escape(document.getElementById('address').value);
_url += "&city=";
_url += escape(document.getElementById('city').value);
_url += "&state=";
_url += document.getElementById('state').value.substring(3,5);
_url += "&zipcode="
_url += escape(document.getElementById('zipcode').value);
_url += "&country=";
_url += document.getElementById('state').value.substring(0,2);
gBrowser.addTab(_url, null);
}
