My Reviews

Thesaurus - Reference.com

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It needs to point to <thesaurus.com> I installed this on a default FF52 profile and it pointed to the defunct address. I was able to work around by changing all references to <thesaurus.reference.com> to <thesaurus.com> in the old XML file: "thesauruscom.xml" (still available, google it). I then used the "XML Search Engines Exporter/Importer" addon to import the XML file to the search.json.mozlz4 file. Works like a charm. If it gets updated I will change the 3-star to a 5-star.

Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am building a new FF profile with e10s enabled, and Add-on Compatibility Reporter reports EHH as "Not compatible with multiprocess", but about:support reports "Multiprocess Windows 1/1 (Enabled by user)", Task Manager shows two firefox processes running and EHH is doing its job. I just installed it and imported my settings from the original profile, and so far so good. I hope this continues as I consider EHH to be an essential addon. This is with FF51 running on XP SP3 with the POSready registry hack that allows XP to continue to receive security updates.

ReminderFox

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

While the latest update solved the problem of not being able to rearrange tabs, in seems to have some new bugs and disimprovements:

1. One must now click on the little X in the upper right corner of the slider to close it. Before, clicking anywhere on the slider would close it.

2. Why the delay and slow fade-out after clicking the X for the slider to disappear? This is annoying if the slider is obscuring something on the page that one is looking at.

Password Exporter

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Painless and faultless. FF28 uses a different method of storing passwords than later versions, so it's not just a simple matter of transferring a couple of files. Googled for a solution and found this. Works great!

Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Eliminates 99.9% of the annoyance on websites that I use frequently. Increases the available real estate on a site by eliminating useless banners. I would suggest a switch that if checked reloads a page when selecting "Disable on this page only"

Memory Fox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Seems to work as advertised. I thought it was not working but then I realized that I had to "activate" it after I installed it. After activation, FF memory use went from over 800,000 down to about 120,000 and currently under 72,000
