TechnoLust's Journal: I'm a fireyfox now.

I just downloaded FireFox and the Gmail extension (thanks slothdog) and the MouseGestures Extension. Any other good 'uns?

mmmm...

[the_mad_poster]

I have the RSS sidebar and the user agent switcher, but I don't know if they work beyond 0.8 or not...

The UA switcher is particularly useful for dealing with those sites that are, by all accounts, "busted ass crap" and kick you out if you're not using xyz browser.

Yes.

[Some Woman]

And how.

Extentions

[Zirnike]

Where'd you get the gmail extension?

There's also Linky... got a nice 'open all image links in new tab' feature. :)

There's also supposed to be a way to shuffle tabs around, but I haven't poked around to find that extention. There's Bug Me Not, that fills in forms like the New York Times and stuff with randomly generated information. There's also Download Manager Tweak, which allows you to make the download manager into a tab or sidebar.

I also like the Noia 2.0 Extreme theme.

There's also supposed to be a way to shuffle tabs around, but I haven't poked around to find that extention.

TabBrowserExtensions [sakura.ne.jp] is back for 0.9.x again. When 0.9 came out, TBE was mysteriously absent from the list of extensions, but it is there now and works a treat.

I would also recommend the Web Developer Toolbar for all the nifty gadgets it adds...

Re:Extentions

[Zirnike]

Found that. :)

Hrm... what does it add? I don't exactly do a lot of HTML...

The Web Developer Toolbar? Let's see...

Useful functions for a non-web-developer:

• DISABLE: (disable/enable the following) cookies; image animations; images; java; javascript; page colours; referrer logging; styles
• FORMS: Display form details; Enable/disable auto-completion; show passwords; view form information
• IMAGES: Display image dimensions; display image paths; hide images; make images invisible
• MISCELLANEOUS: Clear cache; clear http authent

I use:

[slothdog]

Firesomething [cosmicat.com] for no reason other than it amuses me to see "Mozilla Spacebadger" in the titlebar.

GMailCompose [jedbrown.net] - send mailto: links to GMail's Compose window.

BBCode [jedbrown.net] - Useful for forum posting

Adblock [mozdev.org] - Regex ad blocking. 'Nuff said.

Currently trying out:
Linky [gemal.dk] - Download all links/images on a page.

Re:I use:

[johndiii]

I second the recommendation of Firesomething. It's hilarious. I had "Mozilla Moontiger" the other day...

Re:I use:

[slothdog]

I also recommend adding "llama" and "sloth" to the available creatures. I may have added a prefix as well, but I don't remember what....

Mozilla Megasloth for me, yeah!

Re:I use:

[elmegil]

Meh. I have tried repeatedly to get this darn thing to install under ff 0.9 under Solaris (the 1.5.2 version and one try on the 1.1.4 even), and no dice. Unfortunately the names used in the user extensions directory are pretty evil registry-style names so I can't figure out what's going on very easily. Anyone with any thoughts? I have the DOM inspector installed, so I know I can install extensions generally....

funny

[M.C. Hampster]

I was trying to figure out why you included SlothRadio as an extention to FireFox, and then I realized that your signature just followed the same format as all of your other links. I just missed the "--" that seperates it for me.

Don't know why I felt the need to point this out.

Re:funny

[slothdog]

Heh. Well, if you use one of the latest nightlies, you can set a livemark [codefront.net] for the forum postings on my site. I thought that was pretty spiffy.

Re:I use:

[slothdog]

Also:

Web Developer Extension [chrispederick.com] looks pretty useful as well.

Yup.

Adding my list

[superyooser]

I think all of these are available from update.mozilla.org.

Web Developer - very useful even if you're not a developer

PrefButtons - has some of the configuration options as Web Developer (and some WD does not have), except they're independent buttons you can add wherever in you want in the toolbars. This is a lot like PrefBar but without the bar.

ieview - open current page in IE from the context menu; can be configured to open MyIE2, Avant Browser, or probably any other browser

Nuke Anything - remove a

Sure

[daniil]

I use:
Chatzilla (IRC client)
Adblock
Download Statusbar

(Haven't had time/bothered to look for more)

My list

[VisorGuy]

RadialContext - MMmmm Pie.
googlebar
Adblock
Download Manager Tweak
User Agent Switcher
Image Zoom
Single Window
Basics
CuteMenus
Firesomething
GMailCom pose

All of them can be found in the usual place.

Must have extensions

[Aumaden]

I keep switching back and forth between Moz 1.7 and Firefox. I need to use the JS debugger and it's currently broken under 'fox.

For classic Moz, I have just two:

• Multizilla [mozdev.org]
• Web Developer [chrispederick.com]

For firefox:

• Ad Block [mozdev.org]
• Web Developer - (link above)
• TabExtensions [sakura.ne.jp] - not a powerful as Multizilla, but it will do until Multizilla is ported to 'fox
• Bookmarks Sync [mozilla.org] - I so wish this worked under classic Moz!
• TTLO [mozdev.org] - Things They Left Out - all the configuration controls not in firefox.

Re:Must have extensions

[superyooser]

If you like TTLO, you may like also Configuration Mania [lycos.co.uk].

my list

[bersl2]

Adblock - What everybody else said.

Diggler - Does a bunch of miscellaneous things that are occasionally useful.

DictionarySearch - Highlight a word, choose an option from the right-click context menu, and a new tab is created showing the dictionary.com definition of the word.

Mnenhy - More miscellany; in theory it also works with Thunderbird (where I need it for its encoding/decoding features), but my build of that chokes on it.

And I pull and build straight from the AVIARY branch of CVS.
