Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo.

Some of my favorite features:

• Post to Twitter. You can also post the URL of the current page you are browsing.
• Send embedded Google Maps using Gmail.
• Dictionary, spell check and thesaurus.
• Search Wikipedia, IMDB, Google and Yahoo as you type the word.
• Translate only portion of text on a foreign site without reloading (my must have when playing Korean based MMORPGs).

Finally a word of caution this is a very alpha-release, sometimes it still breaks especially when interacting with 3rd-party APIs.
