If you don't like any of the above features, you can disable it by going to: Tools -> Smarter Fox
To invoke the qLauncher press Ctrl-Space. If you are using a Mac or Ubiquity, you might need to change the shortcut since Ctrl-Space might already be in use. (Do so by going to Tools -> Smarter Fox). After the qLauncher panel is open simply press the hot key next to the site to open it.
qLauncher's settings integrate right into Firefox's bookmark system so it will be backed up alongside your other bookmarks if you use something like Xmarks. The bookmarks for qLauncher are included in the folder named "qLauncher" on your bookmarks bar. To add a bookmark to qLauncher simply copy it into the folder by dragging and dropping it there. To assign a shortcut key, tag the bookmark with "qlauncher:k" where k is the key you want to use. You do not have to do this however: qLauncher can pick one for you automatically. If you find the bookmark folder obtrusive you can either drag it to the end of your bookmarks toolbar or disable the qLauncher and delete it.
