ImportExportTools NG

Avaliado com 1 de 5 estrelas

None of the 10.x releases show in Tb 68 menus. 4.1.0 works.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (10.0.2). 

Country Flag & Website Info - Full IP Info

Avaliado com 3 de 5 estrelas

This addon is much smaller than similar extensions. That's a huge plus. The drop-down information is full and helpful. However, the flags are square, regardless of the actual flag shape. The overwhelming majority of national flags are horizontal rectangles. Please fix the appearance.
Also, the IP address overlay should be optional.

View Source

Avaliado com 5 de 5 estrelas

I've used "View Source", almost daily, for many, many years. It's fantastic. Hopefully, someone will create a WE version...

FfChrome

Avaliado com 4 de 5 estrelas

I love having the short menu. HOWEVER, there one bug which is very annoying.
The pop-up menu frequently does NOT show those items which are checked in the user settings. Why? I don't know. This seems to be related to when add-ons were installed. Then again, maybe the method used to reference the add-ons by ffChrome is outdated and doesn't properly work with recent builds...

Column Reader

Avaliado com 5 de 5 estrelas

Works very well.
Needs a small icon for the navigation menubar.

update: I don't know how to reply. The icon is visible now but I've also rebuilt the prefs from scratch. Thanks for your response.

ThunderStats! Your Thunderbird Statistics!

Avaliado com 4 de 5 estrelas

"You found the very first listing, when the addon was just released..." Wrong. This is the fifth time this extension has been in the "recently updated" report. Limited rating to 3 stars because you deleted the review after replying with sarcasm. You didn't need to put it here for testing. You could have sent the xpi to people.

My initial post was out of frustration with insufficient descriptions. Maybe somebody from Mozilla deleted it. They should stick to making software. I apologize for snapping at you.

I prefer ThunderStats!'s information and Mail Summaries' color scheme.

Ideas to increase legibility:

Use account overview page, not a separate tab.

Reduce overall vertical size; overviews should not have scrollbars on laptops - investiagate dynamic spacing. Reduce visual clutter; use color or position whereever possible, not both. Choose scheme with more complimentary colors. Reduce color count. Always use dark font on light background. Add total, yearly, and monthly time span tabs. Remove dark blue and reduce height of tabs. Center quadrant titles.

Top quadrants: Increase left/right borders inside quadrants; contents too close to borders. Current axis labels are too dominant; reduce them. Swap contents of upper quadrants. Label today's mail bar chart with clock time or day/evening/night and reduce color count to sent/received. Words "Sent" and "Received" should be in appropriate color, not swatches with black labels. I do not see any usefulness for vertical inbox date bar chart; enlighten me.

Bottom quadrants: Remove colors from charts. Add thin horizontal line between lines 5 and 6 of columns 2 and 3.

Identity Chooser

Avaliado com 5 de 5 estrelas

1.9 prevents sending replies from Thunderbird 31.6.0, at least that is the effect on our installations. 1.8.8 works properly.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (1.9). 

Fire IE (FireIE, Enhanced IE)

Avaliado com 4 de 5 estrelas

Fantastic functionality. Properly supports NoScript and AdBlock. Please add:

1) right-click context menu item to open link in new IE tab.
2) right-click context menu item to open link in IE (as external browser)

Greenhouse

Avaliado com 2 de 5 estrelas

Pro: Works
Pro: Helpful
Con: Requires access to allaregreen.us and googletagservices.com - Glad I use a goodVPN
Con: Tested on thehill.com and the popup's right edge is truncated - minor issue
Con: Tested on Breitbart.com and no links or popups are shown
Con: Tested on thehill.com and required thehillcom's scripts to be allowed or the popup had a transparent background
Suggestion: Toggles to insert inline icons next to the names. Look at the way stock symbols have this data on some sites.
Suggestion: Embed example.php, don't force a call to allaregreen.us

Patch to Alert Invalid Addresses

Avaliado com 1 de 5 estrelas

Did this work in the past? I don't know. I had it loaded and there was never a complaint. However, I DO know it will prevent Thunderbird 24.0.1 Windoze from sending email. Disable/remove it if you want to run 24.0.1.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (0.3). 

Don't Send Linked Files

Avaliado com 1 de 5 estrelas

Does nothing on FF22 Windoze.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (0.3). 

ImportExportTools

Avaliado com 3 de 5 estrelas

Confirmed: duplicate folder name issue exists with all versions of ImportExportTools even if it is the only add-on enabled.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (2.8.0.1). 

TweeQuilla - Twitter for Thunderbird

Avaliado com 3 de 5 estrelas

New Account Types 14.0 breaks TweeQuilla. Fix needed for TweeQuilla.

Readability

Avaliado com 3 de 5 estrelas

Follow the developer's link and you get redirected to readabilty.com where the Firefox addon has a version of 1.6?!?! That site was showing version 1.5 until a couple of days ago. Now the addon here has been updated from 1.3 to 1.3.5. What's the deal?

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (1.3.5). 

FfChrome

Avaliado com 5 de 5 estrelas

Nearly indispensable HOWEVER the enable/disable list is quite awkward to configure when there are a lot of extensions. It would be nice to have an outline view where each extension has its options as sub-categories. Select all and remove all options for the entire set as well as each extension would also be helpful.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (2.1.1-signed.1-signed). 

StockGopher

Avaliado com 2 de 5 estrelas

Please remove these as they are wastes of space and/or visually distracting: Logo, Google search, My Stocks button and skin.

Logo is a nice design. If you must keep it, move it to an "about" display. This bar is hard to read and does not support more than one quote at a time.

Look at StockTicker. It is compact, useful and visually unobtrusive.

News display is very nice but not at the expense of quotes. Perhaps a 50/50 horizontal split of the bar with a small button for configuration on the far right..
Skin should be optional.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (0.6.1a). 

Link Reporter

Avaliado com 5 de 5 estrelas

works with FF3 if you modify the maximum version in the install file. Needs adjustment so the lock image is a fixed width.

Sort Bookmarks Menu

Avaliado com 4 de 5 estrelas

Mozilla sandbox version is 1.7
Author says version 1.9 is released
Author's site has version 1.4

Sandbox and author's site need correction.

Esta análise é para uma versão anterior do extra (1.7).
