Is there any way to monitor open IE/Firefox windows/tabs from
VB.NET/CSHARP and display a small button next to all username/password
form fields?

Same thing as Skype does with their software add-on, which turns phone
numbers on websites into buttons which you can click.

I would appreciate some help on this topic.

Martin,

You would have to create an add-in for the respective browsers and then
manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) from within the add-in to change
the elements on the page. For Internet Explorer, you want to use a Browser
Helper Object. I'm sure FireFox has an add-in model, but I am not sure what
it is (it should be easy to find).
