Mes critiques

LDAP Swapping

Noté 5 sur 5 étoiles

Very handy for working around the Thunderbird LDAP timeout issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79509.

Note it only works on the Global LDAP as set in Preferences > Addressing > Directory Server. And for your account's Composition and Addressing settings you need to have it set to "Use my Global LDAP server preferences".

TB Header Tools Extension

Noté 3 sur 5 étoiles

See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/header-tools-lite for an alternative that works with newer TB versions.

Massive Extender

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

Was very handy (5*) for developers until 1.0 when the uninstall, disable, and enable were removed. I have patched it to add install again and hope to add enable/disable back also. Hopefully the developer will accept the patches. See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1780295&p=11755691&hilit=patch#p11755691

Contact Tabs

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

Very handy extension, wish it had a little more info (e.g. groups) and would love if it supported editing in the tab - at least notes.

about:telemetry

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

This is useful info, and I am looking forward to it being included in natively (which is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661881).
The current addon does cause a spurious "unable to read chrome.manifest" error in the nightlies (similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586610).

Restart Thunderbird

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

Should be built in as an option!
Works fine on TB5 if you install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/).

Calendar Tweaks

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

Works fine on TB5 if you install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter (Add-on Compatibility Reporter).
I would like to tweak the colors though, they don't match what I am used to in Outlook 2007.

UxU - UnitTest.XUL

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

This is amazingly powerful unit testing framework for unit testing extensions. It could use better getting started documentation, the author primary language is not English so perhaps he should set up a wiki and let others help?
Note to run the sample tests you need to download from SVN, the sample tests are not included in the XPI.

Console²

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

Super useful for development, wish they would just include the Console Filter in the GUI by default and get rid of the old search box. I burned some time trying to do filtering in the old search box before I realized what was wrong (hence just 4 stars for usability).

Firebugmonkey

Noté 4 sur 5 étoiles

With the instructions from f0rsvinn I was able to make this mostly work. It never occurred to me that the way it works is by creating its own sandbox around the script rather than using Greasemonkey's. There are some GM aspect things that will not work though because the script really isn't in GreaseMonkey. As an example, GM_getValue returns undefined.

Still, it works for basic debugging - and is way better than nothing.

Usage steps are as follows: Install FireBug 1.5.4 (later versions do not seem to work); Install FireBugMonkey; Use the Script Manager in FireBugMonkey to select the files you want to debug; Disable GreaseMonkey (scripts will run inside FireBugMonkey, not GreaseMonkey); Enable FireBugMonkey; Enable scripts in FireBug.

The scripts you added in the ScriptManager should be visible in the FireBug scripts list!

Could you please give us some basic instructions on how to use this? Would love to be able to debug GM scripts...
