Personally, I'm not really interested in doing Fx addons for this sort of thing.  We should just fix bugzilla.  Ideally, we should maintain a meta-addon for developers of mozilla containing all of these things as part of the process of consolidating our tools.

I would argue for a jetpack type addon for firefox.  Adding an extension into bugzilla is hacky and would only be useful for orange factor.  If a user wants to modify the jetpack, they can easily to display other related information rather than depending on upgrading a bugzilla extension.

a bugzilla extension needs a review process and will have to be maintained with the data changes format and when the server is upgrades (either bugzilla, libraries, or database)

Also at some time in the future this would not be needed since oranges will be down to 0

Maybe this could go in the bugzilla tweaks extension, with ehsan's blessing? http://ehsanakhgari.org/mozilla/extensions/firefox/bugzilla-tweaks
