HttpFox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Martin, would it be possible for you to update this great extension to be compatible with e10s?

DOM Inspector

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Can you please update this great extension for e10s support?

No Resource URI Leak

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thank you so much!

This fixes a LONG outstanding bug that Mozilla should have fixed years ago.

Hopefully Mozilla will adopt some of this code, with the author's permission, to finally fix this Firefox issue.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.0). 

Link Properties Plus

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This extension works well. The screenshots explain the functionality.

Recommended.

Bluhell Firewall

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Someone is actively deleting all Adblock Plus 1 and 2 star reviews, so that means we can't trust Adblock Plus or recommend it to anyone.

Similar behavior of deleting some (but not all) negative reviews has now been clearly documented for uBlock Origin. As such, we don't consider uBlock Origin to be trustworthy either.

Censorship naturally leads to a lack of trust.

Since we can no longer trust Adblock Plus or uBlock Origin, we can no longer recommended either one to anyone.

We are now recommending this extension to everyone.

It feels faster and is definitely lighter weight than either Adblock Plus or uBlock Origin.

It's small, compact, and simply works.

Please bring this trustworthy extension back!

Menu Filter

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is an excellent extension to customize Firefox menus.

It should be built into Firefox by default.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (16).

HttpFox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This extension is amazing, and much better than the Network Monitor now included with Firefox.

The log will stay open and persistent ACROSS TABS, allowing you to view the full HTTP/S transaction log. Mozilla's Network Monitor included with Firefox cannot perform this essential task.

Hopefully this extension will continue to get updated.

As of Firefox 44, this extension causes the following warnings in the Browser Console:

Use of document.load() is deprecated. To upgrade your code, use the DOM XMLHttpRequest object. For more help https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XMLHttpRequest HttpFox.js:104:13

Timed textboxes are deprecated. Consider using type="search" instead. browser.xul

Hopefully it will also be moved from Google Code (which is shutting down) to GitHub (which is not!).

If anyone can help, please contact the author!

Live HTTP Headers

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great extension. Does anyone want to update it?

Tab Reopener

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Is this a toolbar button, a static menu, a flyout menu, or something else? Need more description and a screenshot.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.0). 

SetReferer

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

In the "About this Add-on" section, can you disclose the story about this extension? Obviously, it's based on the old (and excellent) RefControl extension. How is it different? What has been changed? What has been improved? Where is the source code hosted? Thanks!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.8.17.2). 

Adblock Edge

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Now that Mozilla has released Firefox 41, which changes how it handles stylesheets, the memory used by ABE has been greatly reduced.

This extension is worthy of a reintroduction!

Add-ons Manager - Version Number (discontinued)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's amazing that Mozilla keeps on dumbing-down Firefox and removing important functionality / data, while adding non-essential junk.

This extension successfully restores the important version information that Mozilla decided to hide within a tooltip.

Soon, we will all be running dozens of extensions just to fix "improvements" made by Mozilla.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.3). 

Overlay Blocker - Close Website Overlays

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Looks like a great idea. Can you clarify the functionality? Does this remove the overlay one time, or is it a filtering extension that will filter the overlay forever? If the latter, where does it store the list of overlays being filtered? Is there a way to remove items from that list?

UPDATE: Thank you for the clarification and explanation! Sounds great! Great extension! Very useful! 5-Stars!

Private Tab

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Definitely should be part of Firefox by default.

Part of the Hidden Gems collection.

Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The fact that over 2 million systems still have this installed tells you something.

Xclear

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

An excellent extension!

The option for this functionality should be included by Mozilla in Firefox as standard.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8.1-signed.1-signed). 

SmoothWheel

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Smooth as silk. Highly customizable. Excellent.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.45.8.20130519.3.1-signed.1-signed). 

Bluhell Firewall

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

If you want a fast and lightweight web filter, here it is!

Works great. The tradeoff is that it blocks less than some web filtering extensions, but at the same time it does not break nearly as many sites, is lightning fast, and doesn't take up much memory.
