Preserve Download Modification Timestamp

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by Hosebeast on Nov. 13, 2011 ·

This add-on modifies the General tab of Firefox Options to include the "Preserve..." checkbox in the Downloads section. Because this is redundant of the same checkbox appearing in the add-on's own Options dialog, I jumped to the conclusion that Firefox had added the same capability in the base browser, but that's not the case (at least not as of FF 8.0) so this add-on remains a must-have for me.

YesScript

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

by Hosebeast on Sept. 27, 2009 ·

NoScript may be great if you actually want what NoScript offers. YesScript is NOT attempting to cover what NoScript does (and the author clearly explains this).

All I wanted was a lightweight, quick way to disable the annoying scripts on one particular site. That's all, nothing more. YesScript works great for that. My only criticism is that the YesScript icon in the status bar is a little TOO convenient. A dirty mouse (or, more commonly, a stray brush against a laptop touchpad) is all it takes to accidentally blacklist a site. It would be nice to have an option to either disable the icon, or perhaps to add a confirmation prompt before adding a site to the blacklist.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.7).
