My Reviews
Hide All Toolbars
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
method for toggling all of the "bars" at once, but updating for the latest Firefox versions would be nice. :D
@Deep Coma: the current/latest versions of Firefox do that natively.
IE View
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Funny guy. I've been using IE View for years; it does exactly what I want it to: use the IE rendering engine *outside* of Firefox... in Avant Browser (with way more "IE tools" than [whatever] IE Tab thank you very much).
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.5.1.1-signed.1-signed).QuickNote
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
the Settings/Options process is "quirky"--if you change/set anything, then you have to be sure to reset *everything* to what you want because something screwy happens when opening the dialog (different settings from those you selected before)... but how often do you really need to do that once you have it setup the way you want it? (still, this should be fixed)
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.6.0.4).Stylish - Custom themes for any website
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I couldn't imagine using Gmail or quite a few other sites without Stylish and its associated styles. It's essential, and it will remain essential as long as website developers keep putting up sites that don't quite meet the needs of their users--so... forever. There *may* be a small performance hit in using it, but the big productivity boost more than makes up for it.
And for the guy who wants a better editor, install It's All Text!, which hooks into the Stylish editor window (and any other textarea--like this one) to make sending code to your favorite external editor and back to the site/window textarea a breeze.
(By the way, this review applies ONLY to version 0.5.x and NOT to version 1.x. That being said, however, version 1.0.6 is better than previous 1.x versions, and I expect the trend will continue. At some point 1.x will be a stable, mature add-on, just as 0.5.9 is--which, by the way, works fine on Fx 3.5. It's not there quite yet, but now that I can make my 1.x sidebar and editor window look almost exactly like they do in 0.5.9, it's at least "liveable"... even with the fairly ugly and un-stylish icon.)

though after modifying the install.rdf manually, it seems to work as it should. Bump the maxVersion next chance you get. :D
FoxyTunes
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I used FoxyTunes all the time before Yahoo! bought it--great, great add-on. Haven't done much with music over the past year or so, but now getting back to it only to find that Yahoo! controls it. One word: MusicMatch. I've got to wonder when Yahoo! will manage to destroy FoxyTunes the way they did MusicMatch, but for now it still seems as good of an extension as ever (?)... hope it lasts.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.4).MR Tech Toolkit
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
But until the Auto-archive feature is working again, there's no compelling reason for me to install it in Fx3. Missing the restore session(s) on restart (only on restart, not on start) doesn't help (even if it may really be a Firefox 3 problem, still). Plenty of other features, though, for those who need them.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (6.0.3.1).Custom Geometry
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Needs just 2 more options: (1) option for Default to not be used at start-up so that (2) single left-click on the status-bar icon will reset to Default (without Default being invoked when certain websites open "helper" (or whatever) windows on clicked links). (Yep, this would make it work as simply as the previous version. :D) Thanks.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.2.0).Password Exporter
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I've used it for years, and it's always done what it's primarily designed to do: export passwords from one instance of Firefox and import them to the same (backup) or different (migration) instance of Firefox.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1).IsAdmin
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I use DropMyRights for all of my Firefox and Thunderbird instances. IsAdmin works great--simple to customize display icons and text, very effective.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0).World Weather+
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I, too, like the simple effectiveness of this extension. The only suggestions I have (for now :D) are for the forecast box: (1) an option for a list format (DOW, day graphic & temp / night graphic & temp), (2) an option to use just the 3-letter abbreviations for day of the week instead of their full name. Thanks.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.3.1).Select Inbox
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Sure, it's not a big hassle to click on the Inbox and then the first message, but it sure "feels" like a big waste of time for something that should be automatic. This little add-on just makes it automatic... cool.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3).CuteMenus - Crystal SVG
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
All of the icons are nice, but I installed it for FlatStyle--my favorite "theme". Turns out, each is an excellent complement to the other. Looks good.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8.2.1).To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
