Post to a Del.icio.us account from NetNewsWire

Great script! Couldn't resist another addition. This just gets the first 50 characters of the description and adds an ellipse:
tell application "NetNewsWire"
	set u to (URL of selectedHeadline) & ¬
		"&title=" & (title of selectedHeadline) & ¬
		"&extended=" & (text 1 thru 50 of (get description of selectedHeadline)) & ¬
		"…" & "&tags=" & (subject of selectedHeadline)
end tell


tell application "Safari"
	activate
	open location "http://del.icio.us/YOURACCOUNT?noui=yes&jump=close&url=" & u
end tell

Great. Now how do I tell Firefox to pop open the specifically-sized del.icio.us post page in a new window?

Or, even better - pop open an application dialog text input box so you can enter the title, tags etc without having to connect to a web page?
