Extension Auto-Installer

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is a huge time saver -- beautiful concept, very easy to use, and it "simply works". Thanks a ton!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.1-signed).

@8-bit: Nope. Doesn't work for me. I can't drag anything onto the status bar. If I try, all I see is a stop sign. (FF 3.6.24)

User Agent Switcher

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

please make the setting persist over browser restarts.

I would also suggest to slightly rename the Menu entry, something like "User Agent: $agent" (or "UA: $agent"). I think this is a bit less confusing.

Two simple minor changes which will make this addon perfect for me! :-)

... will make it even better. I'm anxiously waiting for the new version. While you're at it, here's another possible feature: allow to click on a "removed" image in order to display it (just like NoScript does for flash etc.).

I'm not sure if that would mean to allow the entire domain or just that one image. The latter might be tricky to implement, and probably the former is even more useful. Something like "This image comes from http://example.org/. Clicking ok will allow all requests to that domain. OK/Cancel" or something along these lines.

This would eliminate the guesswork which domain has to be allowed in order to see images. (Which can be pretty tricky on sites which include a lot of content from, like, 37 external sources)

... with the newest version, it is not possible anymore to use it in the status bar. I don't want to clutter my toolbar.

I realize that the statusbar has become mostly useless in newer Firefox versions. However, I'm on Lucid and staying with FF 3.6. I don't see a need to upgrade. So for me, recent changes of the addon have been for the worse. Could you add back the functionality to control it from the statusbar, as it was before? Users could then choose whether they want the toolbar or statusbar ...

SyncPlaces

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I have just found this as a replacement for Xmarks, and it does everything it says. There are just two issues I'm having which keeps me from rating it 5 stars:

- The settings layout is somewhat confusing, at least initially. Too many tabs and sub-tabs for my taste. I'd personally suggest to ged rid of the sub-tabs, maybe simply aggregating the functionality on a single page, with horizontal rulers to separate them, or so. That said, I did find my way around after all, so this is just a minor comment.

- Initial import of passwords takes rather long (seemingly it's the decryption part that takes quite some time). I actually had to click away some 3 messages stating "a script on this page is taking too long"). I'm not completely getting the reason though, because encryption and upload seems to work almost instantly...

Overall, a great extension though -- so thanks for it and keep up the good work!
