Here are a few notes about using Performancing For Firefox with Drupal.  When I first installed it, it only worked with the admin user (1st user added) which has special privileges.  I thought at first that other users would not work because we generally have a space in the user name "Firstname Last", but this was not the problem.  The problem was with enabled modules and permissions.  Both the blog and blogapi modules must be enabled.  Then, using administer >> access control >> blog module >> edit own blog >> check this for users who will be using performancing.  The last thing to do is in administer >> settings >> blogapi >> Blog types >> choose one or more type.  We haven't used personal blog (or any blog) for our business sites.  Even though we are really blogging, it is just called other things in Drupal (like stories and pages).

Also, there is one minor bug and a quirk that I ran into.  The bug is that editing a post seems to insert the title of the post into the body when resaved.  So, several edits of my previous post displayed a body like this before fixing:

Performancing Firefox 1.1Performancing Firefox 1.1Performancing Firefox 1.1Here is a great little tool ...

The quirk is that the blog name displays my user name and the Drupal node type instead of the site name. Since my user name is the same or similar in several sites, there is a list of duplicate blogs even though they aren't really duplicates.  Hovering the pointer over them pops up the site name, but that is not a good way to distinguish between different sites/blogs. A last quirk is that the editor doesn't pick up on any of the styles from the site. For example, blockquote is indented in the editor but not on our site. This seems reasonable to me, but I can envision users who would expect it to be WYSIWYG when it really isn't.

Other things that are missing (understandably) are integrated spell checking, image uploading. Spell check seems close with spellbound, but this didn't work for me. Still, I am impressed with this tool.
