Anybody here use -
system wide services ?

I use them reasonably often in the Apple apps,
but I have been wondering if I can't get them working in other apps, Firefox in particular ?
I've been googling and searching Forum sites about
system wide services but all the posts about them don't seem to go past 2003 ! So I'm wondering if perhaps
system wide services have been superseded by something else, if so what ?
'open this url' in Safari is the one I use most and I wish in particular was available for Firefox et al.

The Services menu has to be enabled in the code of an application. Cocoa applications (most of which come from Apple) get Services basically for free, while Carbon applications (the majority of applications around) have to be coded specifically to get support. An application like Firefox, which is a cross platform browser, will probably never get Services.

Services would be ridiculously easy to implement for Firefox (it's basically the same code as Copy and Paste which Firefox already supports), so hopefully they will eventually get to support it.

In the meantime you can use Camino which uses the same rendering engine as Firefox, but with native support for more Mac features like Services.
