Menu Filter

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by BrooksNYC on Jan. 7, 2017 ·

Menu Filter replaced a menu editor I used for years. Compared to that extension, Menu Filter is cleaner and easier to use in every way. (As with my previous editor, there's no way to export your settings—my only quibble. But if you backup your FF profile, your settings will be saved.) Thanks to the developer!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (19.1). 

Classic Toolbar Buttons [Tb24-58] (discontinued)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by BrooksNYC on Aug. 13, 2015 ·

Classic Toolbar Buttons is an excellent extension, and one I've used for years. I love it.

For me, at least, it was sabotaged by the latest upgrade to FF 40.0. My toolbar icons blew up in size, and also stretched horizontally. Efforts to fix the problem by tweaking the CTB settings were unsuccessful. Finally, I disabled the add-on altogether, which partially restored a look of normalcy to the toolbar. The icons shrank back to their regular size.

My heart goes out to add-on developers! Keeping ahead of Firefox upgrades must seem like an endless, uphill battle. At any rate, I'm confident that Classic Toolbar Buttons is only "temporarily indisposed," and I look forward to using it again soon. Thanks, Aris!

UPDATE: Thanks so much for your help, Aris.

The icons did shrink slightly when I installed 1.4.9.1beta1. But now, instead of stretching horizontally, they're stretched vertically (and the frames around them are vertical rectangles instead of squares).

I know a fix will come, so no rush. Thanks again!

FINAL UPDATE: Problem solved!

QuickDrag

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I'm a longtime QuickDrag fan, and was sorry to have to downgrade to an older version.

For years I'd been able to block Google search ads. Then I upgraded to the latest version of QuickDrag (2.1.3.23), and suddenly my Google search results were covered in ads. Disabling QuickDrag's marketing option made no difference.

I've gone back to version 2.1.3.21, and am now ad-free.
