My Reviews

Adblock Lite

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by Frank E on April 10, 2013 ·

After a short experiment with ABEdge I'm back to ABLite, whatever does not work in easylist-noadult.txt with ABL, I don't miss it. Oddly the removed and later reinstalled ABL found its old preferences, this about:config madness in Mozilla must be the crime of the century (the worse Windows registry was invented before 2000 :-)

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.3). 

Adblock Edge

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Unfortunately the (optional) ABE add-on bar icon does not work for 10.0.12 ESR (the last Firefox for Windows 2000), while ABL got this right. Now I can pick, use ABL, where some easylist-noadult filters are not supported, or use ABE, where the icon always hops to an invalid position at the right edge of the status bar.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.3.1-signed.1-signed). 

German dictionary (de_DE)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Wegen unklarer Versionsprobleme mit einem anderen (KaiRo) Wörterbuch benutze ich die "Hunspell" Variante dieses (j3e) Wörterbuchs, und wollte das jetzt endlich in meiner "DEnglish" Erweiterungssammlung notieren. Leider finde ich die Seite nicht wieder, wo "Hunspell" installiert werden kann.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (20120628). 

Quick Locale Switcher

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I can't find the language packs for Firefox 4.0.1. Is it only me, or is Firefox really getting worse with each version (after the last 2.x)? The "get more language packs" link on the QLS 1.7.5 options page also does not work.
The extension is brilliant, but without language packs it's only two thirds of the expected fun (dictionaries and language preferences still work, and for Thunderbird everything works).

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.7.5.1-signed.1-signed).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Quick Locale Switcher

While I love the idea of this add-on and keep it up to date I usually deactivate it since about FF 2.0.0.9: Changing tabs with QLS active can take several seconds.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.6.5.6).
