Download Status Bar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is a MUST HAVE add-on. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Unfortunately, recent changes make it no longer function in Palemoon 26.0.

There is a workaround.

Around line 1388 of bootstrap.js you need to add code between the lines ...

DownloadBarComponent.prototype = {
...
this.windowtype = "mail:3pane";
DownloadBar.windowtype = "mail:3pane";
break;
_________________________________________________________________
case "Pale Moon":
this.ff26above=false;
DownloadBar.ff26above=false;
this.windowtype = "navigator:browser";
DownloadBar.windowtype = "navigator:browser";
break;
_________________________________________________________________
case "Fennec": break;
default: //"Firefox", "SeaMonkey"
}

In order to modify bootstrap.js, you must open the .XPI file for the addon. Best approach is to go to the addon page, right click the link to install the addon and save it to your desktop. Then, open with winzip (XPI is ZIP). In winzip, open bootstrap.js with notepad++, go to line 1388 and add in the extra case for palemoon. Then fille --> Save and exit. Winzip should ask if you want to update the XPI file. Yes! Then save the XPI file from Winzip. Now, in palemoon, open the XPI file and you can install the fixed version.

Hope this helps those who did not know how to get at the bootstrap.js :-)

This is one of my favorite interface changes.

This is not the safest solution. But it will get you by until the signed version is out.

In about:config change xpinstall.signatures.required to false.
Re-install.

Yahoo! Mail Notifier

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am on pale moon v25.1.0. This add-on (latest version - 1.7.4) still works. However, there is one little issue. Yahoo log in screen comes up when my browser is started. If I disable YMN, I never see that log on screen again. Right now I'm putting up with the log in screen because I like the add-on.

This issue also happens on Firefox v35.

If I could have only one add-on made a permanent part of Firefox, this is it. The author has done a phenomenal job of replacing the original with something that is even better. His dedication to the task is second to none. Congratulations for a job well done :-)

BTW, second choice would be Tab Mix Plus.

OK, if you don't have this add-on, what's stopping you. This is, bar none, the best add-on for Firefox.

This just gets better and better every day.Do you have plans to add a pop-up when the mouse is over a download ... like the old DSB?

My mistake. I clicked on a download box and there it is. That's good enough for me.

If I could give 10 stars I would.

Awesome+++ (50 stars)

The author has done his homework here.

I pity the poor fools that are bashing the author's efforts to present a better alternative to the non-working, and as yet unsupported, Download StatusBar.

BTW I have looked at the source code for this add-on and I see nothing at all wrong with it.

I have only one complaint. The author's assumption is that a light background everywhere (even on the bar buttons) is acceptable. I use a dark background (#0e2a48) with chartreuse text. My pop-ups have chartreuse text on a near white background. WTF?!?!?!?!?

No bother. I rewrote part of the author's skin CSS and I am happy. Even the buttons have proper colors (hovered or not). Maybe the next release should RESPECT the color scheme .... puleeezzzz :-)

If more people would stop bitching at the efforts of others, the world would be a better place.

KUDOS to the author. You are awesome!!!!

Although this is a work in progress, it works. That's more than I can say for Download Statusbar which I used for years. It stopped working with FFv26.

I would like to see a configuration item for the maximum width of each download and the possibility to clear completed downloads by double clicking the bar

Like others, I have looked for something like this. Currently running FF 10 beta 6. They work fine.

Yahoo! Mail Notifier

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Best Yahoo Mail notifier available. Have been using it for years with only one issue which the author was VERY quick to fix - Yahoo's fault BTW.

Unfortunately, it looks like Yahoo did something to break it again.

It really would be nice if readers like FASTKC would describe how they fixed their recent issue since this could help a lot of people.

ViewAbout

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Type "About:About" in the address bar without the quotes. Now you have a menu of many of the About commands without having to add anything to Firefox.

NOTE TO br2: You can edit the code. I added About:Addons because it wasn't included.
Then I minimized the whole thing to be just About:About.
And then I eliminated it :)

A few things are now broken with Firefox 3.6 RC2 - probably will be broken on the final release. May even have been broken much earlier (didn;t notice until now)

1) it is no longer supported for 3.6
2) about:plug-ins is broken
3) about kitchen sink is broken (not a show stopper but)
4) About:about is broken

I managed to fix items:
1 - simple RDF file change
2 - leave the about:plugins as the command (don't get fancy)
and 3 - commented out the product name check

I would have rated it a tad higher if it wasn't sadly out of date.

AutoPager

Wish it worked fully on Mozilla Personas site.

This is one of my FAV scripts. Wish it were better :-o

First page works fine. Subsequent pages won't allow the "preview" feature. Why?

Contact me if you need more details - phrozen_ghost@yahoo.com.

Why OH WHY doesn't firefox have this feature by default. It is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S.

So, why doesn't the Mozilla Personas web site work properly with this proggie?

The first page previews fine. Subsequent pages work fabulously. But they don't allow a persona preview.

Why?

PLEASE make this work!!!!!!!!!!

Stylish - Custom themes for any website

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One of my favorite addons for Firefox. It just gets better and better.

Unfortunately, UserStyles.Org is gone.
Firefox displays a blank page with status Done.
IE says it cannot display the page.

Without Userstyles, there is no repository for scripts :-(

An excellent addon without question.

It really would be nice if the web page (http://userstyles.org) stayed up.

Often when I visit, it's down.
