My Reviews
Active Stop Button
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This doesn't seem to do anything with Firefox 11 on Mac OS X (10.6.8).
The preferences are not very useful, either. A ctrl-click and a right click (usually a two-finger click on the trackpad) are usually the same thing and they open the contextual menu for the toolbars, which is where one can hide the toolbars or edit the icons on them.
Single click isn't great, because one might not want to stop all the tabs with a single click.
So I chose double-click, but it doesn't appear to do anything.
I'd like to see support for shift-click, or opt/alt-click.
MR Tech Toolkit
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I wish I could see my old review for this extension. This extension was very useful with past versions of Firefox, but with version 7, it's not as useful. While I was able to use it to enable some old extensions to work with the new browser, MR Tech itself had some problems with FF7. Namely, it prevented the "User Scripts" tab (provided by Greasemonkey) from appearing in the Add-ons window. Also, it prevented Add-ons from being shown as a tab instead of a new window (ironic, since one of MRTT's features was to do exactly that). It was unable to provide links to the installation folders of extensions I'm using, too. This *really* needs an update for FF7.
SmartTemplate
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This is good because it lets me use the actual time from the sender's message when I reply. It doesn't use my local time zone. It would be better if the "%X:=sent%" keyword also used the sender's timezone.
AddressBookTab
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great extension, but I *HATE* the icon! Luckily I was able to open the extension and replace its icon with one from Apple's Address Book application.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.2). This user has a previous review of this add-on.AddressBookTab

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This version fixes the gap in the search box that was in old versions of iFox Smooth.
Remove Duplicate Messages
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I had a folder of 1760+ messages that included dupes. I ran this extension on it and it said that 600+ messages were dupes, leaving 1100+ good messages. I told it to do the default action and delete the 600+ messages. What was I left with? Exactly 1000 messages! What happened to the remaining 100+ messages? Good thing I copied the messages to another folder for backup before I used this extension.
It seems this extension has a 1000 message limit. If you've got more messages than that, DO NOT USE THIS EXTENSION!

TB Change From and Fcc on Compose Extension
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I used to love this extension, but as I've used it more, I find it's intermittent. Sometimes when I enter an address in the "From" field, it's used, but other times it's not. Even if I send a test message to myself and the address I use for the "From" is used, when I send the same message to another person, the address I entered isn't used. Intermittent functionality is even worse than not working at all.
Growl Notifications
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
If I have received a lot of email messages while my computer was asleep, when I wake it, this extension *FILLS MY SCREEN* with Growl notifications about the email. There should be a user-definable threshold above which the extension will simply say "You've received 42 new mail messages."
Also, the older extension "Growl New Message Notification" ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/3448 ) looks better because it also lets the user choose the format of the Growl notification.
Growl New Message Notification
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
It's too bad this extension isn't still supported. This extension lets users choose the format of the Growl message. The newer "Growl Notifications" extension kind of sucks. If I've received several messages while my computer is asleep, that newer extension fills my screen with notifications!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3).Clean Subject
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is a great extension, just because it let me change the default forward subject prefix "[Fwd:" and suffix "]". (I removed the brackets.) Having the ability to clean up other messy subject headers is a big bonus.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is a very good extension. One of the most valuable to me, along with Adblock Plus.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This extension needs a few improvements. Sometimes it fails to copy messages to the selected folder when they are sent. Its folder selection menu should also use the "Recent" menu that TB uses for "Move To" and "Copy To". The automatic selection of folder based on recipient is also intermittent, but it's convenient when it does work.
Stop Autoplay
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
This is a good extension and I've been using it for months. But recent changes in YouTube leave their comment box invisible if Stop Autoplay is set to block Flash media.
