about:addons-memory

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

This Addon looks good, but what is the point when Firefox leaks around at 2GB memory usage, and about:addons-memory reports a memory usage of 70MB altogether?

Scriptish

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Scriptish did nothing when presented with this userscript:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/21391-youtube-comments-sidebar

Also, there were absolutely no instructions about how to install a script.

Greasmonkey otoh instantly recognized the script and installed it with a nice dialog and after one click.

So I went with GM and uninstalled Scriptish.

mozCleaner

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

When I check those checkbuttons, what is going to happen when I click "Clean"???

--
OK so it removes the entire addons that I check. That is not "cleaning". Cleaning is removing junk like tempfiles, defrag databases and similar stuff.

So the name is misleading.

Not in the toolbar, not in customize!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.1.1-signed.1-signed). 

Multifox

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Don't use the Session Manager of TabMixPlus, otherwise you will have to change the Multifox account on all respective tabs all the time, and to re-sign in to your different Gmail accounts all the time.

Other than that, great.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.2.1). 

Copy Folder

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I'd rather MOVE than copy the messages. If copying, you'll end up with lots of duplicate messages because the copy process never runs through but you'll have to start over several times.

Btw, this is the typical WTF-moments you unfortunately get with Copy Folders after like three hours:

MiniWebView Sidebar

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Still amazing -- however MiniWebView Sidebar leads to constant high Thunderbird CPU load in my case (Gmail in the Thunderbird Sidebar). Maybe this can be investigated by the developer?

--
Edit: thanks for the quick reply -- actually I get the high CPU load also when I disable that script and even when MiniWebView Sidebar does not display anything (is empty).

If I disable MiniWebView Sidebar, then I get like 0,5% CPU load for Thunderbird. If MiniWebView Sidebar is enabled (no matter if empty or with website inside), I get 15% CPU load (Intel i5-2500K CPU).

Correct Identity

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Unfortunately, the standard identity when COMPOSING can only be set based on Account, not based on Folder.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.3).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Folder Account

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Associating a folder with a standard identity is great for composing NEW mail. So far, the Add-on is perfect.

However, the Add-on overrides the standard Thunderbird behavior when REPLYING -- where Thunderbird beautifully chooses the identity, based on one's own mail address that the original mail was SENT to.

When the Folder Account Add-on is active however, it chooses the wrong identity most of the time when replying to an e-mail.

This problem applies when you use more than one identity in the same folder (e.g. when you have two work addresses and use both in the "work" folder, or two private addresses and use both in the "private" folder).

It would therefore be much better if the Folder Account Add-on would only jump in when composing NEW mail -- and leave Thunderbird to pick the correct "From" address when REPLYING.

Thanks already for consideration.

MiniWebView Sidebar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Still enthusiastic about Miniwebview-Sidebar (using it for a viewing a copy of Gmail).

Question: is it possible to restrict the Sidebar to a minimum width? Currently, it gets compressed when I open the Thunderbird folder tree sidebar.

MiniWebView Sidebar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Simply awesome! I have put gmail in the Thunderbird Sidebar which puts all email stuff in one place:

Thanks for the great work!

PS: a code snippet for scriptish that autohides the Gmail left sidebar:

@-moz-document domain('mail.google.com') {
body>div>div.nH>div.nH>div.nH>div.no>:first-child {
transform: translateX(-195px);
transition: transform 250ms ease 1111ms;
}
body>div>div.nH>div.nH>div.nH>div.no>:first-child+*>:first-child {
margin-left: -210px;
transition: margin-left 250ms ease 1222ms;
}
body>div>div.nH>div.nH>div.nH>div.no>:first-child:active,

KeePass Helper

Great for time tracking applications that track your time based on titlebar text!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.2.1-signed.1-signed). 

eCleaner

then use this extension before you have properly read the description.

It lists ALL extensions options, not just deprecated ones. So it's very easy to inadvertently delete everything...

Content Scrollbar

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Can't change the settings. Too many h-levels and respective scrollbar ballons.

Bluhell Firewall

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

BHF seems to block more ads than the big competitors, on the pages I frequently visit.

This is exactly the way software should be. Sleek, fast, and almost invisible -- yet functional.

Thank you Diego.

...and sporadically. Otherwise good.

Stationery

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Strangely, I only get the HTML source view with NEWLY created mail, not when editing a replied or forwarded mail. With the latter, the HTML source tab is simply blank :(

(Everything used to work in TB 3, but now not anymore in TB24)

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.8.0). 

Duplicate Contact Manager 2

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

would be perfect if it allowed editing during compare...
