Hide Find Bar

Hide Find Bar is a Firefox/Flock extension that hides the find toolbar after a user-defined interval of inactivity. By default it will disappear after 10 seconds of inactivity, this emulates the way the find bar behaves when using the FAYT feature. I created the extension as an experiment, to get my feet wet as it were, and because I'm a real estate whore, I have an urge to utilize the most amount of viewable area as possible and sometimes I forget to close the find bar.
