I'd like to have a button that copies contents of about:support to pastebin...pwease?

Other information could be made paste-binnable as well

Which optional parameters are needed?
See parameters at http://pastebin.com/api.php

So
- Do NTT need the optional parameterN? (paste_name, paste_email, etc ...)
- If needed then what about the default value for optional parameterN?

We don't need any optional parameters in there, just the one required parameter should be fine

Attachment: add Copy about:support to pastebin menuitem to Firefox/Seamonkey menu

This patch adds a 'Copy about:support to Pastebin' menuitem. It loads about:support into a hidden iframe and converts the HTML to text using the functions borrowed from about:support.

Looks and works fine.

You don't need the parent_id parameter in the request.  So take that out.

I'm not sure if the pastebinUrl should be a preference.  It may only work with pastebin.com (it doesn't work with pastebin.mozilla.org, last i checked).  If it is kept a preference it should probably be the whole url (including the path info).  Or just taking it out is fine too.

So nightlyPPrint is a little misleading: 

+  // Trim extraneous whitespace before newlines, then squash extraneous
+  // blank lines.

However, I consistently get two blank lines for every paste.

Other than that, looks great!
