My Reviews

Tahoe Data Manager

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Nice overview of Firefox data and permissions. More finely-grained than what's built in.

Re-Pagination

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Stitches together "Next" pages very nicely. I've been using it for years. Thank you, Nils, for reviving this project and taking it into Fx 4.0!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2011.01.08).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

BlockSite

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

BlockSite should not be marked as compatible with Fx 3.6 or Fx 3.7. If it is installed into either of these versions of Firefox, then clicking on its Options button in the Add-ons Manager causes the Add-ons Manager to freeze. Once that happens, Firefox can only be killed with the Task Manager.

Undo Detach Tab

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Perfect for reversing accidental tab detachments.

Digger

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's great to have Digger back. It's been a long five weeks without it. Thank you, NightWolf1298.

CookieSafe

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Although CookieSafe is marked as compatible with all versions of Firefox though Fx 3.5, it is no longer actively supported by its developer. I've switched to the Cookie Monster extension. It has all the features I need, and it's actively supported.

CheckPlaces

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I love all the information this extension provides, and how easy it is to find and verify problematic bookmarks. It was like cleaning out the attic: nostalgic when I saw all those dead bookmarks I hadn't used in years.

One little problem for me though. It seemed to get stuck at checking 2143 out of 2148 bookmarks. After 10 minutes of no progress I pressed cancel. Then the result box came up with the report on all my dead bookmarks. It was fun trimming them away. Delete All isn't for me.

I'm surprised that the Delete key doesn't work. Is it supposed to?

keywordManager

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Helped me to finally find all my bookmarks that have a keyword. Thanks!

Go Parent Folder

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great Fx3 replacement for the Locate in Bookmark Folders extension

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4). 

BBCode

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I've tried the other BBCode formatting extensions and keep coming back to this one. I especially appreciate the Custom Tags feature. MR Tech has done a great job of updating Jed Brown's creation. It's ready for prime-time.

CS Lite

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Although CS Lite is marked as compatible with all versions of Firefox though Fx 3.5, it is no longer actively supported by its developer. I've switched to the Cookie Monster extension. It has all the features I need, and it's actively supported.

Re-Pagination

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The All and Limited commands work well for me. I use them many times per day. Slideshow doesn't seem to work properly: it only loads the next page once and then seems to get stuck trying to load the next page after that. I have to close the tab to recover.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2006.4.5). 

Yet Another Search Trick (YAST)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very simple and works just like it says. Well documented and contains a detailed change log at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=322972
More than ready to graduate from the Sandbox.
