Dictionary Switcher

Wurdearring: 4 fan de 5 stjerren

This add-on allows to quickly switch between the various installed spell-checking dictionaries.

In my case, I often type English or French messages, and Firefox chooses the language depending on the settings of the site, which sometime are incorrect or just not suited to the moment.
Dictionary Switcher is able to detect what language you use after a few words (probably trying the dictionary raising the fewest errors...) and if that's not enough, it allows to set it by a single left click on the toolbar icon (going to the next language, good if you have few dictionaries) or a right-click (showing a menu to choose quickly what you need).
It doesn't seem much, but it saves time when you have a big context menu and you search the Language item, then select the right one.

Side note: it can also be useful when you want to use the same dialect than the one used in the site you are, ie. if you have, for example, installed British, Australian and US dictionaries, or in French classical French vs. reformed one.

Extra Folder Columns

Wurdearring: 5 fan de 5 stjerren

Excellent! I use it since I upgraded to TB3 (I see it is officially endorsed in the release notes) and it works well, doing its job without getting in the way, fixing the early bugs I patched by hand.
One suggestion: instead of ???, display a simple dash -
I used to manually edit the JS file but I am getting lazy...
FYI, I see these ??? in the size of NNTP folders.

@Colin Guthrie: many thanks for providing this patch, having all virtual folders with the same name was lame, now we have the best of two worlds! :)

This add-on is a must have, but I reduced my rating because of the lack of update for the release version and for the problem with virtual folder names. I solved these now, but they are tripping for the non-technical people.

@Genton_m: I can confirm it works on a French version of TB.

PS.: This message can be a duplicate, I had a blank page after submitting a first version of this review. Sorry if that's the case.

This add-on is a must have, but the lack of update for the official release and the problem with virtual folders made me reduce the rating. Both problems are solved for me, but they are tripping for non-technical people.
