On OS X you can define custom text replacements, which I use frequently to save myself typing similar things over and over (my address, email addresses, and some shorthand I'm used to from IRC).

It works fine in another window but not in any firefox windows.

Firefox doesn't support this Mac feature directly. You can look on the Add-ons website for a suitable extension.
