My Reviews
Fasterfox
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This works great it speeds up an already faster browser by controlling how Firefox uses available processing power to download pages and background links so they will display even faster when you view them.
Sort Bookmarks Menu
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This works EXACTLY as needed!
After you install this extension, restart Firefox, then go to the "Addons" dialog. Click the "Sort Bookmarks Menu 3.3" extension in the list, and click the "Options" button.
Click "apply to Bookmarks toolbar". (Some people correctly pointed out -- it does not do so by default.)
Now, just click the "Bookmarks" menu in Firefox. RIGHT-click any bookmark or folder, select the "Sort" (NOT the OLD "Sort by) item, and click "Sort by name (auto)" at the top of the sub-menu.
I have almost 2,000 bookmarks in many, many nested folders. THIS EXTENSION CORRECTLY SORTED IT ALL! I checked -- it sorted all folders, bookmarks, subfolders, bookmarks in subfolders, and so on, at all levels.
This extension is AWESOME!!! Thank you!
[Edit:] Yes, if you choose the "(auto)" item, this DOES continue to auto-sort new bookmarks as added.
Thunderbird Biff

Developer's site states that to install this into TB, you must save it to disk. However, the link just leads back here, and there is no option to download the file directly -- only "Add to Firefox".
Can you give us an updated/correct link please?

The Firefox Addons manager shows it is installed, but no features have been added to Firefox...
...no buttons, no menu items, no context menus, no status bar icons or indicators.
I don't see the "M" in the statusbar like in the picture.
It's like the extension is not even there.
Fox Web Media Player
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
The Firefox Addons manager shows the extension was installed. But clicking the "Options" button in Addons just brings up an XML error message.
Furthermore, no menu entries, context menu items, toolbars, buttons, status bar icons, status bar indicators, sidebars, or anything have been added.
It's as though the extension is not even there!
UnPlug
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This extension works great, and coordinates well with DownThemAll! After some tweaking of DTA's file filters, I just "CLICK THE FISH" when I want to detect media then click one of the buttons in the resulting page (for example, the DownThemAll! button).
The disappointment is, this does not work with embedded Windows Media, Real Player, and QuickTime files -- which is how most commercial sites post their videos...so once they take them down, you can't watch them anymore!
I wish this extension could analyze the "asx" and "rpm" files to extract or make a link to the actual video!
DownThemAll!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I've tried a bunch of download extensions, and most of them don't really help you to download much. I now have the combination of DownThemAll!, Fast Video Download, and UnPlug.
With these three tools I can download most things, though it's tricky getting the settings just right. Particularly, I had to play with the file-type filters.
UnPlug and DownThemAll! (aka DTA) work particularly well together. There is some learning curve in knowing *what* button to click in the resulting page after clicking UnPlug.
You might have to reload a page more than once as you play with settings/what to click.
But that is all a side effect the multimedia formats and the way they are put in the web page! This really DOES do what it claims!
Fasterfox
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I love this extension, but there is one thing that would make me love it more. That is, when you enable "Enhanced prefetching", there should be options to only prefetch links in the same domain or in the same entire domain.
Fasterfox
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Without addons, Firefox is as fast as Opera at loading and rendering pages. But not being a *part* of the (Win-doze) operating system, Firefox doesn't start up as fast as Internet Explorer.
This extension optimizes the performance of Firefox at loading and rendering, making the startup time irrelevant. It also prevents much slowdown from using multiple extensions, if configured properly.
I discovered Fasterfox at the same time I discovered Tab Mix Plus, and I have never had the TMP "slowdown" people talk about. *Perhaps TMP users should also try this extension with it.*
Mainly, don't use the most intensive setting (very rude to the server you are visiting), increase the cache size, but don't set it really high. If you set it too high, it can actually cause problems.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
