Awesome Options

Assegnate 1 su 5 stelle

I had honestly intended on at least trying Awesome Options but when I visited the page that you call your homepage so that I could find out exactly what options that your extension provides, I was greeted with obnoxious pop-ups that opened in new windows and stole the focus from my main Firefox window.
One of them started playing really loud music and I felt that I had somehow stepped back in time to the early 1990's when I used Internet Explorer and fought off pop-ups daily.
Also, I couldn't navigate your site to get help because the side menu is covered by some sort of iFrame with a Flash ad or whatever.

Please list exactly what your extension does or doesn't do. Please provide a way to uninstall your extension. And please (pretty please), choose a more modern and user friendly approach when directing Firefox users to your site to get information and support for your add-on.

I'm sorry if I come off as harsh, I don't mean to be, I am just frustrated because I was simply looking for info on your extension and it turned out to be a poor experience.

QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

I was in the middle of backing up my add-ons and I realized that I've never taken the time to say so but thanks for developing QuickFolders.
It's one of my favorite and most used Thunderbird add-ons.
You should consider adding a link to this page on your site.

RightHome

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

What a clever idea. I have been using bookmarklets for a long time to achieve what this extension does.

It works just fine but the one thing that you should do is to find a way to show the user the button combinations. I looked throughout Firefox and I couldn't find help anywhere that would show me which key + the home button did what. Fortunately I had bookmarked this page as I do with all of the add-ons that I try.

Perhaps you could add a simple first run web page (launches after installation and restart) that displays the button functions. It would also be helpful to add a web page so that a user can get back to it whenever necessary by right clicking on your add-on in the add-ons manager and selecting Visit Home Page.

Thanks for taking the time to develop it.

Lilium

Assegnate 1 su 5 stelle

You have obviously missed a few things while submitting your add-on here. The first and foremost is that you have confused the Add-on Description field with the Add-on Summary field and it is my opinion that your description is just way too long. I really can't see people taking the time to install and use an add-on that requires the amount of instructions that you have provided. It really is overkill.
This is the longest page that I've ever seen on this site. To be exact, it is 5,767 pixels long whereas an average add-on's page Adblock Plus for example is only 1,805 pixels long.

Another thing is that you failed to notice that the BBcode that you used in your description doesn't apply or work here. Did you even look over this page after you submitted it?

Why does any of this matter anyway?
Well it matters for you because again, people are more than likely going to pass over your add-on because if it is presented so poorly and carelessly then people may assume the same about the quality and functionality of your add-on.

I do hope that you make some changes so that people will take the time to give your add-on a shot.

I'll gladly edit this review when you edit your description.

Innocent Greed

Assegnate 3 su 5 stelle

I usually figure out an add-on's features and options within about 1 minute but I'm really puzzled by this one.
It installs ok, I found the toolbar button and added it to my toolbar and clicking on the button does bring up a window with image URLs but I have no idea where those images are being saved to.
I explored all of the obvious places within Firefox, and them I looked in the profile that Innocent Greed is installed into but I cannot find the folder where the images have been downloaded to if in fact they were downloaded at all.

If I'm missing something that should be obvious, then I apologize, otherwise, you really should be specific and in detail on how your extension functions and how to use it.
And also, you really need to remove the URL that you are referring people to as a support page because I'm sure that you are aware that there is nothing at the address besides the "Coming Soon" text.
I ran all around trying to figure this extension out and I shouldn't have. Most people would not bother to take the extra steps to get your add-on to work.
So please provide documentation on on how to use your add-on.
And please remove the address that you use for a support page (you're just wasting people's time).

I'll gladly edit my review here when you get things straightened. If you'd like you can contact me when you make the changes.

Man Utd

Nice work on this.
The mix of colors really makes this a unique theme and stand out against others.

Full Flat Absolute Black

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

Perfect for those who prefer a simplistic interface.

ImageTweak

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

I really enjoy using ImageTweak.
It has just the right amount of options and features.

I don't understand why centering images isn't a default setting in Firefox.

XUL/Migemo

Assegnate 3 su 5 stelle

This add-on has quite a bit of potential.
It would be especially useful for persons with visual impairments. But I have to agree with the others in that the highlights get cleared too easily and the highlight all feature is the determining factor for me to use this add-on.
I'm also not too sure about how to use the dictionary feature.

I'd love to see the problems addressed.

And I may be able to provide you with icons for the configuration window.

uPOD

Assegnate 3 su 5 stelle

I was pretty enthusiastic about this add-on, but I've backed out after finding out that my info would be saved online, plus that's a pretty thick Terms of Use & User Download License.
I'd really rather have sensitive data stored locally.
If that is indeed possible, then I'd definitely reconsider my rating.

I really appreciate you taking the time to update this.
I've missed it.

TimerFox

Great add-on, it does what it claims to.
It would be even better with an audible alarm.

Nice work on this add-on.
It does exactly what you say it does.

MR Tech Toolkit

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

Definitely an add-on that I'd hate to be without.
I've been using it for quite a long time.
Thanks for keeping it up to date.

Aquabird Redone

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

As Thunderbird 2.0 approached, I was pretty bummed out because Aquabird wasn't compatible with 2.0.
Aquabird has been the only Tbird theme that I've used mainly because I have poor eyesight and Aquabird has large clean buttons that are easy to see and read.
I want to thank you for picking up this theme and redoing it. I sincerely appreciate the work that you put into all of your themes.

Toolbar Buttons

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

Toolbar Buttons is a must have add-on.
It really helps you to control Firefox and it provides easy access to Firefox's features and controls. I use Toolbar Buttons in Firefox and Thunderbird. I'd hate to be without it.

Cobalt Thunderbird

Assegnate 4 su 5 stelle

I must admit that blue is my favorite color.
This is a nice and clean theme.
I've been searching all over trying to find something even remotely close to Aquabird which I've had to lay to rest because I can't bump it up any longer.
The only problem that I'm having is that it isn't compatible with Lightning and it is the latest version.
The dates are displayed ok, but the boxes for Lightning are not displayed at all. I hope that you can fix this.
Overall, it's a good theme.

Very cool extensions.
I like that the settings persist from page to page.
