Restartless Restart

Assegnate 2 su 5 stelle

Wasn't this a FF built-in long ago?
Firefox developers have a long history of removing useful parts of the program, trying to suit ... who? What ever happened to the element properties menu item? Oh.

Noia Fox

Assegnate 1 su 5 stelle

I guess Mozilla developers would prefer that FireFox is ugly -- breaking compatibility of Noia-Fox has left this browser back in its ugly, ugly state. Good show -- usability has never been at the top of Mozilla's list, and appearance leads to greater usability: quod erat demonstrandum. Noia, which I have used in one incarnation or another for years takes the butt-ugly out of many facets of the
FF interface, from the ugly bookmark bar to the elevator bar, from the tabs to the program interface icons. Now they are all in their butt-ugly default FireFox state again, the world is a little bit less nice with every use of the browser. Very republican!

CompactHeader

Assegnate 4 su 5 stelle

This has always been a great addon, does what it says, low overhead, no complaints.

It was actually created to fill a gap that was created in Thunderbird's development: you used to be able to minimize the headers directly from the program, then that useful feature was removed from one release to the next. Why? Are M$ employees working on TB? Seriously, did a group have a meeting wherein the topic of removing usability and user-friendliness was discussed and forcing unwitting users to sacrifice screen real-estate because of a perceived need for 'code elegance' or 'compactness' took hold?

Meanwhile, thanks to the developer of this extension, jmozmoz, compacting the headers to a single relevant line was the job of simply clicking one button and the state was remembered well between program invocations or computer reboots, whether Linux or Windburps. Now, a program update, apparently a minor revision [?] has left this extension out in the rain (v. 2.10 TB) works no more in TB 31.8.0 [alas].

Compared to the unrest in the world, this is only a hiccup, or possibly a small hiccaburp, but would leave the world an even politer place by somehow being fixed.

RequestPolicy

Assegnate 4 su 5 stelle

that can always lead to unk. consequences, hopefully the project is back on track! After using RP for more than a year, I just got used to blocking all the oddball requests embedded in webpages -- the amount of tracking going on is ridiculous! It's like online-stalking. We need to value privacy very highly. The laconic slide into apathy goes down a very [warning: cliche] slippery slope!

Thanks for giving the project new life.

Restartless Restart

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

An other Restart addon was not working. I added this one and thought it was not working, then found that I was clicking the old one, which was still in the menu until a restart -- this one's fine new icon did the restart. All I ask of the code, and we got it!

Noia Fox

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

Without Noia Fox Firefox is SOOOO UGLY! that I can not stand to use it. Please update Noia. We don't need (I don't need) any advanced features -- just the main look and feel!!!

Thanks for your consideration. It's been a number of years or versions, so many that I can't directly how long. Started with this theme when I began to use FF, and it is so much a part of it that I've been able to forgive all of FF's faults, slowness, changes that break my patterns in daily use, etc.

SearchWith

Assegnate 4 su 5 stelle

I could not get new settings to work until reading the article below by JeNaait UtSteed. One thing he left out is that when editing services, you can select the new line of the service, below 'Disabled' but you have to hit enter on the keyboard in order to set the choice.

I've upgraded my assessment because this is actually fully functional -- but the incomplete user interface left unable to operate the settings and feeling a bit like a newbie. (It's so far from obvious what you have to do to make a new setting and get it to work!)

Simple Search-For Extension

Assegnate 2 su 5 stelle

I want to find an extension / plugin that allows me to mouse over or highlight (text, image, graphic) and search a choice of engines: Google, Gmaps, Froogle, Amazon, eBay, IMDB, Urban Dictionary, GImages, etc. It would be sweet if I could just use the list of engines I've added to Firefox's search-bar-box as I can in Firefox with "Context Search" plugin!

Until then this is a rather limited application.

Folderpane Tools

Assegnate 5 su 5 stelle

This small extension/addon doesn't do all that much, but what it does do (rearrange folders and set the default) is extremely important. I've been using Thunderbird for years, since converting from Eudora, and have not been able to change the order in which my accounts appear in the folder-pane, nor set the default. I've tried editing the userprefs.js and it does not take, or the changes appear random -- not sure why, it's pretty straightforward looking. This little bit of code fixed it first time, hoo-rah. I give it a high mark! /..

PS: I use Thunderbird 5.0 now, and this is the version I for which I installed and used FolderPane.
