My Reviews
BBCodeXtra
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
First off, @bruceb: You can add any customized code. Tools > Options > Extensions > BBCodeXtra > Options > Custom tags then add them.
I do have a suggestion though. I would LOVE to be able to import/export settings. I use several computers and Firefox's browser sync doesn't sync settings. I could keep a copy of the settings in dropbox and quickly upload it to any computer.
Many thanks though! This has been one of my favorites for years. I cannot live without it.

Works fine in 3.5.2! I've had this extension since practically its inception and not once have I ever had an issue. It works just as promised, BUT...
If I had to make a wishlist item, it would be to allow me to make my own tags for things that I frequently do or use. This has been a requested feature for years (and not just from me), but it never comes to fruition. For that reason, I give it a 4 and not a 5.
Forecastbar Enhanced
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
RedDwarf has no idea what he's talking about. Since this extension is an enhanced version of Forecast Fox (one I've used for YEARS) then I can say with authority that it's used Accuweather for a VERY long time. Yes, for a short while they used weather.com, but weather.com made it difficult and limited the use of their site. Not very friendly at all.
So... RedDwarf be sure to research something before you post. It's been at least 3 years since Forecastfox used weather.com.

This is quite helpful, but I'd really like to see a way to insert favorite code tags. A bit more customization would make it A1 perfect. Otherwise, I find this one of my most invaluable add-ons.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I have to uninstall it for now as it no longer works. It worked fine up until 0.60. I would've emailed you to let you know, but you don't have anywhere on your site to notify you. Good luck with that.

This was handy but it's too bad that it hasn't been updated yet. There has been plenty of time to do so as well.
Sorry, but I don't have a clue who ervee is, so I'm not planning on downloading their update AND I too don't recommend forcing FF3 into allowing this extension.
The truth is that this should have been updated by Jeremy sometime ago. Perhaps he's too busy but then a notice here would've been nice.
Grocery List Generator
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is a very useful little addon. It's not without serious problems though. I imagine this is still in its infancy, but I don't know that for sure.
The first and foremost problem is the tedious setup. There are no decent shopping categories. Granted you can create your own, but it's a VERY slow and drawn out process.
It should come with a standard shopping list category setup (dairy, poultry, fish, beef, paper goods, canned goods, cleaning supplies, salad dressings, sauces.... you get the idea), but it does not. When creating your own, it does not auto sort them alphabetically either.
Now that could be a good thing because you can place them wherever you wish (in order of your grocer's aisles if you will), but you cannot drag them into their proper place.
If you get specific with your categories, be prepared to spend well over a hour just to set them up. You have to scroll down, down, down, down, down, click the up/down button, wait for it to reload, then repeat until you manage to get it in place. This is for each and every one! There just HAS to be an easier way.
Now whatever you do, do NOT make the mistake of organizing your categories and NOT assigning an item to it. If you do, BEWARE. All your categories not associated with an item will be lost when you close Firefox. There is no option, as far as I can tell, to save unused categories.
All that aside though, if you're willing and able to take the time to organize it properly, it's a nifty little gadget. I'd prefer to have it as a separate app, but I'm happy to have it anyway.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
