My Reviews

Download Status Bar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is truly an excellent addon and surpasses the old one in many ways. However, recent updates have left middle-click to cancel not working, and downloads now do not automatically clear after X seconds at least when progress is set to vertical.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.5.0.1-signed).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Download Status Bar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent add-on, however middle-click to cancel is broken in 2.6.0. I appreciate all the hard work in creating this add-on. Thank you so much!

Edit: Middle-click still not working in version 3.1.0

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.6.0.1-signed). 

Config Descriptions

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Extremely useful and enlightening! Works perfectly. A must-have for Firefox tweekers.

xSidebar for Thunderbird

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This STILL works, even up to version 11.0 of Thunderbird, but you will need to edit the maxversion to read 11.* in the install.rdf file which is inside the XPI (addon) file. It can be opened as a .ZIP file.

The addon is quite nice, and immediately gives you an address sidebar and an addons sidebar without having to add anything additional.

Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

"To block an unwanted pop-up window with this extension just add the window's url to Adblock's filter list and any popup window matching that pattern is prevented from being opened. You can also block all pop-ups from specified domain by adding it to addon's blacklist."

Those instructions are not at all clear. Are we adding entire pop-up window addresses to Adblock Plus as a new Adblock Plus filter or are we adding them to your addon's preferences by adding a new site rule or by using the menu entry on Adblock Plus's icon? When adding a new site rule to your addon's preferences, what exactly is the difference between "block all pop-ups" and "Handle pop-up's using Adblock Plus"?

I think some more clearly spelled out instructions would really help, even a short, concise explanation on the add new site rule dialog concerning the difference between "bloack all pop-ups" and "handle pop-us using Adblock Plus" would be extremely beneficial, because while the difference may be obvious to the author, it really leaves me scratching my head.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.2.1-signed.1-signed). 

FlashResizer

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is a great add-on, extremely useful especially for videos with very small players. My only wish is that it had a toolbar button as well as the addon-bar button. With Firefox 4, I've gotten just about everything out of my add-on (formerly status) bar and keep it disabled to increase screen space, so having to toggle the status bar before and after toggling the add-on is a bit much.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.1-signed.1-signed). 

Hide Titlebar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is a great add-on; works perfectly! It saves valuable screen real-estate in both windowed and restored modes. I'm using this with XP and FF3.6 and have no problems even with multiple instances of FF open. If you're looking to get as much page-view as possible, then this add-on is for you!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0). 

similar site search

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is very handy, and works fine. The toolbar-button is added just to the left of the address bar, you don't need to customize the toolbar.

Also, this provides better results than using Google's similar-sites functionality.

I think it would be nice if the results were opened in a new tab, but that's hardly a deal-breaker.

All in all, this is a very good light-weight extension that does exactly what the developer says it does and is quite useful in finding new sites that match your interests.

OpenDNS Guide Fixer

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This extension does exactly what it says and does it well.

There is no conflict with using existing keyword searches either!

In short, it's perfect and as an added bonus, I can now lose my search bar for more UI space because I only ever used it for google searches anyway.

Of course, you need to be using OPEN DNS to take advantage of this excellent and useful plugin...

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8b).
