My Reviews

Neat Dark Theme - Blue

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Works very well. Provides just enough off-black contrast to be useable in almost all situations. There are still poorly designed e-mails that need Light Theme, but 99% of the time, Neat Dark Theme works perfectly.

Simple Mail Redirection

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Works great! Since upgrading to TB 78, I've been missing the original Mail Redirect from Onno Ekker. This add-on does the job, as long as your SMTP server allows what my corporate server called "unauthorized" From: addresses. So far, this has worked with my Google Workspace account and my Gmail account, as well as through an unauthenticated SMTP server.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.20). 

Sensitivity Header

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This simple add-on works great! Since forever, to be quasi-compatible with my Outlook peers, I've been adding the:

Sensitivity: Company-Confidential

header manually via another add-on. This makes the selection of "private", "personal", or "Company-Confidential" (the case matters) easy.

Reply to All as Cc

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Thanks for a very useful Thunderbird extension. Unfortunately, as of Thunderbird 60, this add-on no longer works. Please consider updating "Reply to All as Cc" to support the latest version of Thunderbird.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.1). 

DKIM Verifier

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Nice, easy, unobtrusive way to verify a message's DKIM signature.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.6.1). 

Thunderbird Message Filter Import/Export Enhanced

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Worked great for me (TB 31.5.0). I missed the old one and really appreciate someone picking it up and making it compatible with the latest Thunderbird.

Thanks!

Quick Web Search

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Just what I needed, especially now that Thunderbird has lost the ability to use Google natively.

I appreciate the fact that this uses the default WEB BROWSER to search, rather than an embedded tab in Thunderbird. I use TB for mail and FF (or Chrome) for Web browsing.

Firesizer

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Perfect add-on for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Just the thing for we "Type A" personalities that desire and require windows to be positioned and sized deterministically.

Works with Thunderbird 6 just fine. Simply massage the install.rdf appropriately.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.1-signed.1-signed). 

Start Google Plus

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Minor Update: After uninstalling and reinstalling this add-on, my high CPU utilization issue seems to have disappeared. Upgrading rating to 5 stars.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.0).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Start Google Plus

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A great start with some seriously useful functionality. I had two issues with this add-on:

1) High CPU utilization when browsing to plus.google.com
2) My Twitter feed massively overshadowed my meager G+ feed. Moving it to Sparks helped, but of course defeated the purpose.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.0). 

Unlinker

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Works great in FF 4.0 with the Add-on Compatibility Reporter telling it to ignore version checking. Should be a simple change to update the install.rdf.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.3). 

Preferences Cleaner

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Looks like an extremely useful add-on. Any thoughts of translating it to English?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2). 

Location Increment

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Works as documented, and (unofficially) works with Firefox 4.0 Beta. Location Increment isn't as fully featured as URL Flipper, but does get the job done for most simple URLs.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5). 

Scriptish

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I missed Greasemonkey SO MUCH after upgrading to Firefox 4.0. Scriptish is a godsend. Now that I've spent time with Scriptish, I'm kinda wishing it was available for Firefox 3.x.

Well done!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1b5). 

Image Zoom

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent add-on, both for Firefox and Thunderbird.

Please consider updating install.rdf to support TB 3.1.*. It works perfectly with TB 3.1.1.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.4.4). 

What's my IP Address

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It's a good start, but doesn't show your "real", effective IP address if going through any type of proxy server. Instead, it simply reverts back to the local (NAT'ed) IP address of 192.168.0.16.

NotTo

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

@ForestRacer

When I hacked the .XPI and restarted Thunderbird 3.1, I found that the recipient list for new messages was restricted to a single To: entry. Disabling the hacked extension restored functionality.

For full support, we may have to wait/hope/pray for official support from the developer.

Buttons!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I agree with Dick. This is ... or was ... an invaluable extension and the first one I missed after upgrading to TB 3.0. I would love to see this ported over to work with the latest version(s) of Thunderbird.

Facebook Dislike

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

While a good idea in theory, this Firefox add-on seems to interfere with several other important Firefox add-ons, including LastPass and StumbleUpon's toolbar. Quite a few toolbar icons also disappeared with no way to restore them.

Other complaints have been that it slows down Firefox significantly, but I was not able to get that far before uninstalling the extension with extreme prejudice.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.4). 

Wiktionary (en)

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This add-on is listed as being for Thunderbird, when in fact it's simply an additional search engine for Firefox. It should be re-categorized.
