My Reviews

Beyond Australis

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I wanted something that provides more screen real estate. This add-on fits the bill and does exactly what it claims to.

It's not enough to detract a star, but one suggestion from me would be to improve compatibility with themes that move the tabs beneath the toolbar. As it is now, the mouse-over toolbar will appear on top of the tabs if they are in such an arrangement, which makes it hard to click on the tabs.

It's also a bit hard to get the toolbar to show up in chromeless popup windows created via JavaScript, etc. without keyboarding, but I don't think this is an issue for most people.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.11.1-signed). 

MinimizeToTray revived

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Did I review this already? My apologies. I've noticed a cool trick you can do with this add-on on Linux (which is probably a glitch). If one minimizes the window to the tray while in fullscreen, then restores it, they'll end up with a "windowed fullscreen mode", where the toolbars are automatically hidden by default, but the window has its normal border. Even if that wasn't the intended effect, I'd still like that bit kept in if at all possible.

MinimizeToTray revived

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It would be perfect if there was an option to *always* show the tray icon. In its current implementation, this add-on only shows the tray icon when the window is specifically minimized to the tray.

Readability

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great add-on; it even works in Minefield 4.0b9pre with compatibility checking disabled! Plus, it goes very well with PrintPDF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5971/). I absolutely recommend this to people who can't stand looking at the clutter of the average website.

Duplicate This Tab

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

On my GNU/Linux installation, Firefox 4.0b8pre's process wouldn't terminate correctly out of having this add-on. It might be a conflict of sorts, but I'm not quite sure yet. My other add-ons enabled at the time were AdBlock, LastPass, NoScript, Omnibar (RDF-edited), Remove Tabs (RDF-edited), Status-4-evar, Stylish (RDF-edited), and Undo Closed Tabs Button. Otherwise, it does exactly what it says, and I'd love to see this problem fixed. Cheers!

Stylish - Custom themes for any website

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of those select-few add-ons that I can hardly live without. It's simple, user-friendly - and above all, just *works* - so I don't have any groundbreaking ideas on how to improve it. (Plus, after editing the install.rdf file, it's even working on Minefield 4.0b8pre/Ubuntu 10.10!) However, I do have some minor suggestions:

1) When loaded in the sidebar, the Stylish dialog overrides the browser's built-in key for Alt+F (the File menu) with its own access key (Find Updates). Perhaps Alt+U could be considered instead?
2) Having optional keyboard shortcuts for the Stylish window and sidebar would be a nice touch (especially for keyboard shortcut addicts like myself).
3) When creating or editing a userstyle, I'd prefer it if hitting "Enter/Shift+Enter" with the "Find" textfield focused behaved more like the browser's built-in Find function (as opposed to simply closing the dialog instead).
4) An optional prompt for saving unsaved changes to styles might be nice (so as to avoid the occasional typo of the Escape key).
5) Automatic closing of the Stylish dialog whenever the last browser window is exited out of.

Cheers!

Linkification

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Out of all the text-URL-to-link add-ons I've tried, this is by far the best one as it converts the text into actual links. Awesome job!

Firefox for Windows Vista

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It looks like it would integrate with Aero very well, but I can't say for sure because I can't use it :-(. Please, PLEASE update for Fx 3.0.* and 3.5rc

FoxTab

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The new FoxTab 1.2 beta available from the official website is fantastic. The performance is significantly better than FoxTab 1.1's even with limited graphics hardware, and I love the improved aesthetic customization level. I only have one minor problem with it: Opening a new tab with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T causes FoxTab to close in favor of the new tab (if it's already open). Is it possible to code FoxTab so that it doesn't close when opening a new tab? An animation would be nice as well.

Speed Dial

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Brilliant add-on, very convenient and very stable. This is without question one of my favorites. The dial groups is a great feature for organization. Would it be possible to extend the grouping capabilities even more by implementing 'sub-groups' within groups that can be individually customized in terms of rows and columns?

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.0.3). 

AutoPager

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I can't live without this add-on. It's extremely convenient. However, there's a slight problem. When you navigate away from a website that Autopager supports (for example, Google) and then go back to it, Autopager is reset to the beginning again. Is there a way to get around this?

VFox | FINDER

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This looks like a great theme, but I can't say for sure as I am unable to try it. Please update it for Firefox 3.1b3.

Fasterfox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Works great, but please update to Fx 3.1b3.

Infinity

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent theme. It's very smooth, the colors and icons are both nice and easy on the eyes, and the aesthetics are simply brilliant.
