My Reviews

Launchy

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I installed this solely to be able to launch links in my TB e-mails in Firefox when I want to do so (my default browser is Chrome). However, Launchy cannot seem to find my Firefox installation on its own, and adding a special launchy.xml file into my TB chrome folder does nothing. If it makes a difference, I am using Windows 7, x64. Any chance this issue can be resolved?

Minimize On Start and Close

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

New user of Thunderbird here and I'm not yet used to tabs for email messages (though I want to get used to it; I think tabs are neater than new windows). The bad thing is that when I want to close a message, I always ended up closing Thunderbird completely. This add-on works wonderfully (I love how you've tweaked it to minimize to the taskbar because I much prefer that to the system tray) and will be a lifesaver while I get used to TB. So thank you.

Buttons!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I almost didn't try to install this because of the comments that it doesn't work on TB3, but I was desperate because Toolbar Buttons and Custom Buttons would not work.

It works nicely on TB 3.0.4 for me, on a Windows 7, x64 machine.

Thanks for this lifesaving add-on!

Stylish - Custom themes for any website

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I've long loved this add-on for the functionality that it adds to Firefox, but I think version 1 is a regression. Count me in among those who think v0.59 was much better. I'm reinstalling that one.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1). 

FfvB - vBulletin Management for Firefox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great extension with useful features and a responsive developer. I only wish all message boards could have the utility that this one gives us for vBulletin.

RequestPolicy

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This add-on could prove very useful, but I would love a toolbar button that does exactly what the current statusbar item does. As it currently is, the statusbar item takes too much space, since it's words and not even an icon. But thanks for providing this functionality. I'm definitely happy to have this on my Firefox.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.10). 

Post to del.icio.us

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This would be a great tool if only it allowed you to check Share/Do Not Share in the pop-up box.

GCal Popup

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Since GCal Quick Add never worked for me, I have long been looking for a way to replicate its functionality. This isn't identical, but in many ways, I think it's even better!

I think the one thing I would like is the ability to customize the size of the pop-up that appears. I use a widescreen and being able to set a fixed width/height for the pop-up would be a great help.

But thank you for this.

Custom Buttons²

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I've been using this extension for a while, and I consider it an essential tool, something that I need in any profile of FF. It's very handy and it lets me cut down on the number of other extensions I install.

The developers are helpful and responsive on the extension's dedicated forum.

Two thumbs up!

Right Links

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I've tried other options (e.g. InstaClick and Mouseless Browsing) to help my browsing on a laptop, but this is without a doubt the most effective. Thanks!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3.1.0). 

antipagination

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I used to use a GM script for forums that would autoload the next page upon reaching the bottom of the page I was currently on. That stopped working, and I've been looking for a replacement since then. This is a good alternative, though I would like to second adlercoa421's request to automate the loading of the next page, if that's possible. It would make the add-on that much more helpful.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2008.6.20). 

PageTailor

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Interesting extension. It would be great to have a smaller status button that can be incorporated into the already-existing status bar. Also, a toolbar button to click to customize a page instead of having to right click and access the context menu. Thanks!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.0). 

Google Reader Notifier

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Best extension of its kind, but 0.60 still does not work with NoScript even with the suggested workaround. I've reverted to 0.50 and I hope compatibility issues will be addressed in the next release.

Also, as of the latest version, the extension does not fully respect the account information inputted into it, and clicking on the button logs you into the last Google account used on the browser if you failed to log out of that account. But Mark has said that he'll work on that issue for the next version. So I look forward to seeing this extension post-0.60.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.60). 

Book Text Mark

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Great idea.

It would be nice to have a Book Text Mark button with a drop down of Book Text Marked pages that can be dragged to the menu. It will be much easier to access webpages than the current right click > BTM > BTMs > URL process, which takes up a lot of time and activity.

Perhaps the listed of Text Book Marks could be identified by the page's name instead of the URL. I use it mainly for marking forum threads, and if the URLs are long and I don't have specific numbers memorized, I have no clue which link is from which thread.
