Go Parent Folder
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Finally! Yes! The bane of all Firefox versions is that the search for Bookmarks only finds the bookmark you're looking for, it DOESN'T locate WHERE that bookmark is buried in which folder, you still have to do the needle-in-the-haystack-thing... but this add-on solves it! yay!

This field is required? Ok. This Add-On is required! Good.
Bookmarks Checker - check for bad links
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works quite good... found 11 out of over 450 bookmarks that were broken links and a few errors including an old D-Link bookmark I'd forgotten about.
Also found duplicates, and gives you the option of reviewing and deleting them.
Forecastfox Weather
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I can't change the city on the customize page upon installation. Stuck on New York, NY.
I live in Canada, but it won't even load US cities. The Error message I get is:
"An error has occurred while looking up your location on Google Maps. Please try again."
Perhaps it's the browser? I've had problems with FF13 where certain sites won't load etc. I have a raft of add-ons and can't tell if it's one of them. Tried Opera and other sites work on that...
MinimizeToTray Plus
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
First, please note: this review is for Windows XP on all my computers (not Vista or W7).
I have tried two popular add-ons for minimizing to tray: "MinimizeToTray Plus" and "MinimizeToTray revived" and both basically work fine, but at the same time, I found that both are "buggy" on my laptop... the "MinimizeToTray Plus" even more so than the other.
HOWEVER, it should be noted that the "MinimizeToTray Plus" seems to work FLAWLESSLY on my desktop computer with little or no bug behavior.
The bugs that manifested on my laptop are:
- opened folder windows go orange in the task-bar unnecessarily
- right-click on task-bar items is completely disabled for open files or folders
- normal-clicking on task-bar multiple times is required to bring the window to the front
Again, very few or none of these symptoms manifested on my desktop, so clearly there are some system discrepancies that come into play; something to bear in mind if you encounter bugs on your own computer.

HOWEVER, it should be noted that, on my desktop computer, the "MinimizeToTray Plus" seems to work flawlessly with little or no bug behavior, so I've chosen to stay with that add-on for now on that computer.
I give this Add-on higher marks than the other add-on because the bugs are not as prevalent (see my review for it there).
At least right-click on the task-bar works with this add-on. Some opened folder windows still go orange in the task-bar unnecessarily though.

More Tools Menu
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Now my Tools menu is uncluttered... nice! I combine it with the Compact Menu Add-On https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4550/ then right-click the menu bar to customize and uncheck the "More Tools" so that it doesn't even show...
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.1).SmoothWheel
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
nice add-on - I like it
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.44.19.20090811.3).Duplicate Tab
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Thankyou Skyap—exactly the tip I was looking for.
Ctrl-click & drag is all you need.
Compact Menu 2
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This add-on formats my browser so that my bookmarks are right across the top. I rarely use the Menu items anyway.
It would, however, be nice if pressing Alt would activate the Menu, and make the options available in under Tools instead of having to find it in the Add-ons window.
Compact menu is worth the donation.
