It's called Operator (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/4106/), and basically it parses information from webpages that use microformats (microformats.org) and gives the user ways to actually use that information, such as sending the data to an address book, or a mapping website. Since I use Gnus and BBDB for my email and address book, I wrote an extension to it that takes contact information from an hCard and uses emacsclient to insert it into the BBDB. It's available from http://db48x.net/microformats/bbdb.js. It's still in the very early stages, and all it can do is send the data to emacs. It can't detect duplicate entries or try to merge them or anything like that, but I thought someone might be interested. I welcome any feedback. db48x
