Mailbox Alert
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Mailbox Alert v0.30
This is a really good extension.
Using this I was able to set-up my Betterbird v102.14.0 so that I wouldn't get a sound alert on new Junk email arriving but I would get a sound alert when new mail arrived in my Inbox. This is really good as I was mightily hacked-off with Betterbird giving a sound alert on Junk mail being received. You can even set things so that specific Thunderbird/Betterbird folders play different sounds when new mail arrives in them.
Setting up the Mailbox Alert is a little bit fiddly depending on what you want it to do but once you get over that hurdle it really is set it up then forget about it.
Very happy with the extension. Would very much recommend.

This is my favourite theme. Simple and mostly matches my mood.
BatchDownload
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
BatchDownload v1.1.6
This a great add-on that saves a lot of time and hassle. Strongly recommended. Many thanks to 'Peter Pan' for providing it.
However, there are some aspects of using it that need a little bit more work. My own suggestions would be as follows, most are concerned with just helping to speed usage up a bit:
1. On a right-click to “Build Gallery” allow the option to 'jump or 'not jump'' to the tab window in which the gallery will be built. Would think it best if this setting were included in “BatchDownload Settings” via a check-box.
2. Once the gallery is built and the user is at that tab window then the right-click “BatchDowload All Images” could usefully be modified in this way:
(a) Make the “Start” button a (proper) default button so that if is hit then the download will start immediately. Saves mouse-clicking for folks that can use the keyboard quickly. (This is major minor-grouse over the way things are just now)
(b) Also making the “Start” button proper default button would allow the mouse pointer to 'snap to (that) button' – for folks that have their system set up that way. Again this saves time.
(Not a problem just a thought: the double-click in the “Download Folder” of this dialog highlighting the last folder in the current directory path is a nice touch for allowing quickly entering a new target folder in the current path. If that was deliberate programming then it is a nice touch.)
(c) On completion of each download it is irritating that the user needs to repeatedly do the following:
(1) Click the 'Close' button to dismiss the dialog box. Then having to go and close the tab window. (I do know that it is possible to just go and close the 'Tab' and the dialog will disappear along with the tab window – but really I'm thinking that there is avoidable clicking having to be done.) Would suggest the following to speed things up for the user:
(a) For this dialog add two new 'check-box' settings. The first to 'automatically [or not] close the dialog box on completion of the download'. The second to automatically [or not] close the tab window once the dialog box has been closed.
(3) Allow a setting at the “BatchDownload Settings” dialog that lets the user set the number of images/links to open before invoking a “Confirm” warning (this will slow down FireFox). My own feeling is that this value is set too low for many galleries.
(4) Last thought, is that, when it comes to 'file renaming', constantly being presented with a “Confirm” (the rename) dialog because the file (name) already exists is very tedious to deal with. After all in the “BatchDownload Settings” the user can set file renaming to automatic (I did) but still end up being asked to 'confirm' all the time.
That's all that I can see just now.
Hope this doesn't put you off doing more work, Peter. As already said this is a very nice and useful add-on and would strongly recommend it - so hope this won't stop folks from trying a fine add-on.
Many thanks.
