My Reviews
Saved Password Editor
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I just came across the recent bug at Bugzilla where I found out that they're going to be removing the 'Show Passwords' button (How dare we want to see all of our passwords at one time!!!) as yet another Mozilla UX boner. Well, I hope this doesn't cause too much hassle for SPE to continue providing that function (till the complete removal of XUL/XPCOM make every really useful extension a no-go).
Oh, and good job. :)
Firesizer

The add-on/statusbar stub is still there in Fx44, so a little CSS is all I need to make it visible and use it. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Copy Selector is missing from the context menu (possibly the single most-used menu item). UPDATE: After still more research, I find that the Copy Selector tool is installed into DOM Inspector by Stylish (which, if I ever knew, then I must have forgotten). Yet another reason why Stylish is essential.

aka "what Mozilla should have done with restart in Australis" (well, they did want to make things more "user-friendly" didn't they? ...right?)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Using Puzzle Toolbars, which restores a "shadow" statusbar (while Mozilla still supports it), I've got the Firesizer statusbar text display/button up on my nav-bar (which has plenty of space on it--widescreen). Still, you know Mozilla is going to kill the statusbar eventually...

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Essential add-on whether you want to fix the bugs in Firefox related to the Edit Bookmark panel or whether you just want the custom sizing for lots of folders/bookmarks. I had only one small annoyance with it--the default panel [size] would pop-up first before doing a "quick-step" into one's custom sizing. I fixed this by simply adding a little CSS to make the panel the custom size regardless.

I just want to thank the dev for an excellent *WINDOW* sizing extension that has nothing whatsoever to do with the viewport. :) I suppose having a viewport option (or separate extension entirely) might be useful for the extreme few that need/want that, but it would be irrelevant to me and the rest of the huge majority of users. The only additional feature I might want is being able to select the origin as well as the size, but it's easy enough to do with javascript, so... meh.
Contact Tabs
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Mozilla never got around to putting the Address Book in a tab, but this add-on--effectively--does that. Throws in some other useful stuff, too. Very Nice.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1).QuickPasswords
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
phil, this add-on seems to do what it's supposed to (for me and everyone else apparently). You seem to be confused... perhaps you were looking for the Saved Password Editor add-on? (The toolbar buttons for each add-on have a certain similarity, so maybe that's what has you confused?)
The only problem I've encountered with this add-on is the issue with the "standard" size (as in, not checking 'Use small icons' in toolbar customization panel) button being so large that it stretches the tool bar (and the other Fx buttons) vertically--I mean, the 'Back' button is no longer round (looks really weird) with this on the nav bar (which is the "big" bar). That's why only 4 stars... till it gets fixed. Even so, I might have given 5 if the dev hadn't said "that's not a bug" [sorry, yes it is]. The newer versions of Firefox have different standard button/icon sizes than the previous versions, so that needs to be worked on here.
UPDATE: OK, 1.9 takes care of the too large button/icon. Coolness. Thanks. 5 stars it is!
Google Calendar Tab
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Well done -- the calendar you use, where it's most useful. Thanks.
Notepad (QuickFox)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
just... super.
Simple, easy to use and many useful options. Thanks.
NewScrollbars [Tb 10-56] (discontinued)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
For some years now I've wondered why someone hasn't done this yet. Looks good... now, how about offering some optional colors? :D (and it would be best to mod only the scrollbars)
(I run several versions of Firefox--3.6, 6, 7, 8 and 9--at some point during the day; I've only installed this in Fx 6 and 9 so far.)
Fire.fm
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I hadn't been using it (last.fm or this add-on) much, but starting to again. Works great, but updating the interface some would be good--the toolbar & icons/buttons can be very hard to see with some themes/personas, so some color/bg-color options for the toolbar/buttons would be useful. Using the new Fx button effects would be a good start.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.14).Restartless Restart
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The toolbar button keeps forcing its position to the far right of the (navigation) toolbar (which is not where I want it).
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (8.1-signed.1-signed).Rainbowpicker
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It would be perfect, though, if the pop-up window origin didn't position itself to the left and above the screen origin. ;)
Blue Fox Theme
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Perfect. Not too dark, not too light--works great with light and dark text.
Disable "You"
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I'd find it less bothersome if Tb said "Me" instead of "You" (because, honestly, I really don't personify software programs). How about an option just to do that? :D
MR Tech Toggle Preview Pane
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I just upped the maxVersion in the rdf to 6.0.0**. (I also created a new 18x18 button image using the new Fx/Tb "standard"--looks better... one size fits all. :D)
**The simpler way nowadays is to just install Add-on Compatibility Reporter (which, primarily, disables checking for compatibility).
Stylish - Custom themes for any website
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
My former Stylish review was for 1.0.6 though really for 0.5.9, which I still thought was better than 1.0.6. Well, the latest versions of Stylish are IMO the best ones yet (yep, better even than 0.5.9)... and still light on the resources.
And, guys, the editor window for Stylish on Fx4--opened from the Add-ons tab [panel]--*is* re-sizable... presuming you actually use the link for the editor (right-click, select 'Edit' from the context menu) and not the Fx-provided button for 'Options' (which is not a link for the editor [yet]). Also, the editor window is no more "modal" in this release of Stylish than it's ever been (of course, you have to actually use a link for the editor instead of that so-called 'Options' button [all of which are typically "modal" for Firefox--but neither Stylish nor the styles you install have "options", just about:config settings and code]; so, don't use that 'Options' button [unless you also install It's All Text! and then the 'Open in external editor' button in the editor window :D]).
ReminderFox
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Plus, I like the new foxkeh "mascot" image (he/she has a very "remember this or else" expression :D). I started using ReminderFox several years ago, but I've only used it off & on--some problems with custom sound files for alarms (and, to be honest, somewhat lacking in visual appeal--but Foxdie fixes that [even if it introduces some visual anomalies]). It feels a lot more "solid" now, with even more features. Thanks.
@Espyo (2010-12-15): did you check off the box for "Show alarm popup" when creating the reminder?
