My Reviews

Toolbar Buttons

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I had thought that the extension had bugs, but it turns out that was because I like to put the buttons from the Mail Toolbar on the Menu Bar. Doing that makes it so that the order of the buttons isn't maintained. However, that's not a standard way of using the extension, so it was my fault. I moved the buttons back onto the Mail Toolbar and now everything works fine. I highly recommend this extension.

Bookmarks Checker - check for bad links

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Works really well at finding bad bookmarks. However, I have three suggestions:

1. Make the report window resizable. This would reduce the need to scroll so much.

2. Make the column headings in the report window resizable too (after making the report window resizable). This would allow more information to show.

3. Add a location column. I arrange my bookmarks in folders and subfolders. Finding a bad bookmarks is still pretty difficult. I know I can delete a bad bookmark without having to search it down, but this would still be a useful feature to have.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.1.1.1-signed). 

CookieKeeper

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent, just what I was looking for. Keeps the good, deletes the rest. Does what it says it will and although very easy to use, has many options.

Extra Folder Columns

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great extension, but for some time now I, and others, have been noticing that the columns selected for the (for lack of a better term) message listings pane *resets* to the default columns every time I restart TB. I have disabled this extension and notice that the problem stops. I reactivate the extension and the problem resumes. I would have been glad to discuss this in a forum dedicated to this extension, but was unable to find one.

CompactHeader

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

This extension no longer works at all in Thunderbird at ver. 11.0.1. If this extension is still being maintained, it would be nice if the author would update it.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.2).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I do NOT allow the addition of toolbars by ANYBODY or ANYTHING! Since the author has chosen to install a toolbar without my permission, I have made MY choice to REMOVE this extension. My advice is to not install this extension on your system. To the author: bad thinking on your part. Over and OUT!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (12.8). 

OptimizeGoogle

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The filters don't work with "Google Instant". You have to turn that feature off in Google's "Search Settings" to get the filters to block anything. Other than that, this is a good extension.

mailTagger

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Good extension. Working nicely now. I was able to add folders and sort my smilies out. Glad this one got updated to work with TB3.

mailTagger

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Nice extension and it installed into TB 3.0.4 so it's intended to be compatible, but I added some folders and now I can't switch from folder to folder.

CompactHeader

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Totally perfect. Allows the "other actions" button to be in the same row as the "Reply", "Forward" and "delete" (why didn't the developers capitalize the word "delete"?) buttons as it should have been from the start. Expands the list of "other actions" available by adding all kinds of great things you can do, for instance: allows an extremely compact header view by selecting "Hide details". This is the way that the developers of TB3 should have done it! If not "the", then definitely "one of the" most important extensions for TB3. Many thanks to jmozmoz! I hope the developers sit up and take notice.

Leet Key

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I can't get it to install in Thunderbird 3.0 rv:1.9.1.5. It installs in Firefox's current version though.

MessageID-Finder

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This extension is one of the very few that I find indispensable when using Thunderbird. It helps me to easily find a message by using its Message-ID and it uses several methods to do so. I really wish the author would consider updating it so that it works with Thunderbird 3. In fact, its not being compatible with that version is one of the main reasons I'm not upgrading to TB3 at this point in time.

CheckPlaces

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This extension is excellent. Especially since FF now uses a database to store bookmarks instead of an html file. I just used it this morning and it worked perfectly. Very easy to use, very intuitive and loaded with excellent features like sorting out the reasons a page is not working, finding duplicates, allowing deletion of bookmarks (duplicate or no longer working) as you like, rather than doing it automatically. It replaces a bookmark checker program I was using and which no longer works with Firefox because of the new way that bookmarks are stored. Many thanks to the developer of this extension. I will continue to use this extension. It actually works BETTER than I expected it to!

I wish this extension would be updated. To get around current version compatibility, I've modified my copy of this extension's .xpi so that it works with the current version of Thunderbird, and it does so without any bugs, as far as I can see.

Using the additional button that this extension makes available is a very convenient way to create a reply message that you KNOW isn't going to be cross-posted to several newsgroups.

Smilie Inserter

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This really adds a lot more available smilies, but if your default folder contains too many smilie .gifs, the scrolling bar doesn't work. Otherwise, it's nice to have more smilies than Thunderbird makes available by default. Also, it needs to be updated so that it's compatible with TB2. When I used Mr. Tech Local Install to override the version compatibility, Smilie Inserter seems to work just fine with TB2.

MessageID-Finder

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This extension is a real time-saver. I found no bugs with it other than that it needs to be updated so that it will work with Thunderbird 2.0. To that end, I will say that I've used Mr. Tech Local Install to enable it and it works just fine with TB2.
