Saving time.

True, but it does it easier.

Also true. Keywords take keystrokes though. With this extension you
only need to (1) select the bug number/package etc, and (2) click on
the button (middle-click for new tab).
With a keyword you have to add to that typing "bts ", possibly
removing # or : or , around the bug number, and pressing enter (or
shift-enter for new tab).
The price is some screen estate (32×32 pixels), yes.
The package is already in the archive, so cheers!
