Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I keep my rating of 4 stars, 'cause this is one of the add-ons I had always been in love with.

Unfortunately TB 52 broke it, hope it gets updated. Anyway, guess I'll try to check the source to find out what it's going on.

I disagree with the "Abandonware" review... last update was on Mar 2016, and by the time it was working ok... why would you need to update it?

For while, will check if there are similar ones, but waiting for this one to be back.

Passei a usar o Firefox Development Edition (neste momento, na versão 52.0a2) e, ainda que o Mozilla Add-Ons o identifique como não disponível para a versão, basta clicar nos "Continue" e "Install anyway", que continua funcionando lindamente, como sempre.
Um eterno obrigado por um dicionário tão caprichosamente feito!

Save Images

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

For now, as I've browsed some of the answers here by Lumox, I just came by to say a huge THANK YOU. This extension saves time, does its job gracefully, was once uncomparable for saving images. My "relationship" with it was of a child: initially, I just wanted for saving images from the current tab. Then I slowly got into the more advanced settings.
The Firefox extensions scene became obscure for quite some time already, and this frustrates most of the best extensions devs. One really needs to LOVE Firefox to keep up with so many confusing changes.
Today, there are some better extensions for the same task and are compatible with the newest Firefox changes. All in all, I totally understand Lumox: patience has its limit.
C ya!

y-Translate

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

If you'll use it for translations to one of the five choices of languages it offers, it works really great. I've found the "translate on hover" option a bit annoying, although practical, it would translate lots of things I wasn't expecting it to.
Unfortunately, I'd like to translate to pt-BR and that's not an option.
It would also be cool if you could have more shortcuts options or a context menu one.
All in all, it works pretty good. Won't use it 'cause of the lack of languages, but this would be the one I'd stick to today.

TT DeepDark

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I had this theme installed long time, but for some reason I changed back to default in some point. As I was feeling adventurous again, I switched back to it and could just remember how refreshing is to look at TB's window when it's active, even though messages themselves are not changed in any way (it challenges my eyes a bit, but it's more than ok). Very pleasant theme to work, study, get updated, even just to see each of the details. :-)Only "problem" I'm facing (but trying to get used to it) is I can't tell which one is the highlighted message in message list. I like the striped view (to that subtle clue for each line, great!), but if the current message is one with the lighter background, I can't tell where it is. Also, when I'm selecting a group of messages and then I decide to select an isolated one (navigating with Ctrl-Up|Down), I also can't see where the cursor is at.Maybe it's by design, maybe it's because I'm an avid keyboard user... anyway, I'm trying to get used to that, but if there's some hack I can do, please someone let me know! ;-)

Thanks for such a great theme, Steva!

EDIT: Never mind, I found my way into the CSS. Took me 2 hours but I'm happy to have solved it (http://userstyles.org/styles/96044/tt-deepdark-change-msg-list-highlight-selection). Still, I'm just curious if it was by design or not. Thanks!

UnMHT

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I can't really emphasize enough how great this extension is. Not that I need MHT files on a daily basis, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how much care the dev placed on this extension. The changelogs are an example of what everyone should do to their extensions. I know few extensions that can do ONE thing so brightly, almost in every way you can imagine. Congrats for such dedication!

Facebook App Theme

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

To be true, I didn't check the extension yet, but as a good suggestion, I think the dev could include some screenshots of what it does look like. For any theme (even as an extension), this is what I expect for.

Aquabird Black

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The provided screenshot could REALLY be bigger. It's usually better to preview themes screenshots before downloading, installing, etc.

Anyway I trusted the reviews. The changed elements are quality ones, but still this theme is not for me. Don't like the presence of silver and white lines here and there. Also combo box items (like when choosing a recipient) are almost unreadable (black text on dark background). Didn't spend many minutes, overall it's not for my taste, but I admit it's generally well done.

PitchDark for TB

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Minimalistic and interesting, basically a dark TB version with not many subtle element changes, just colors. And I like that.

Still not the one for my taste, but a good dark theme from the ones I've tested so fat. Won't keep it yet, but it's good.
