My Reviews

Message Header Toolbar Customize

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

"Thunderbird 78 removes customize functionality of message header view toolbar" ... ??? The arrogance of this just beggars belief. Thank goodness for developers of extensions like this one who step up to fill the senselessly created gap. So much better than the original functionality as well.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.1.1). 

Live HTTP Headers

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Sorry to hear that this isn't working for others on newer versions of Firefox; just installed it today on Ubuntu and it works simply, clearly and predictably. If I ever see otherwise I will amend this comment.

gContactSync

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am so happy with this addon which will also help conservative clients who are gradually getting free of the exploitation of Outlook. This is the 3rd of 3 vital pieces: finally solid contact sync in addition to IMAP & calendar sync. The "Google Contacts" plugin failed recently, probably because OAuth support was lacking, so I found this & it is like a breath of fresh air. Initially there was one odd moment when a bunch of blank contacts synced onto Tbird... but the second sync got rid of them and everything has been perfect since.
