My Reviews
Ask.com Toolbar
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
I've seen all the horrendous reviews preceding my own review here nevertheless I feel compelled to warn everyone to please stay away from anything related to ask.com. Ask.com is the most malicious, pernicious sort of malware imaginable, the toolbar exponentially so.
AutoPager
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Auto Pager is simply great! A must-have!
The various Auto-Paging tools I've come across over the years have never survived compatibility with the all too many numerous Firefox add ons I love to install, Auto Pager being the very first exception.
I absolutely love how Auto Pager's renders sites' ability to stretch articles across too many multiple short-drift individual pages, utterly useless, replaced by a single easily scrolled page that makes for much more pleasant, speedier browsing experience.
CustomizeGoogle
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I've updated my review as of April 2, 2009 to reflect the most recent state of ineffectiveness in which Google's very own counter-programming continues to eviscerate this once glorious, five- star add-on to non-significance.
With each passing day I discover more and more features disabled to the point where I have now uninstalled Customize Google hoping to replace it with as many individual grease monkey scripts I can find.
Thanks for the good job you've done!
Options Menu
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is a highly useful, efficient and convenient tool
worth installing.
Image Zoom
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
If it's about zooming any image in or out this is the one to install. It's configurable for any, every size, from thumbnail to full blown monitor size, even the increment increase/decrease can be customized, with many other cool features at your finger tips via the right click main context menu made even more better via menu editor.
I love Image Zoom and so will you.

This is a great tool because of its stability,and its amazing, never-fail, nearly-instantaneous load time
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.2.3).Toolbar Buttons
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
If I had to choose only one add-on it would have to be Toolbar Buttons. The various buttons provide a new dimension in versatility, capability in enhancing your browsing experience to the utmost.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.0.5).FireFoxMenuButtons
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
One of my absolute must haves. I could not imagine my firefox experience without it. It provides access to innumerable browser capabilities directly from the tool bar you can customize otherwise unavailable. I love it.
Bring The Porn
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I recommend 'Bring the Porn' for its 'Stumbled Upon'-like usability, convenience, ease of use.
This is a no-gimmick add-on that delivers on all promises but has some drawbacks that had made me eventually uninstall it.
Pro:
*Excellent Tool bar/interface, ease of use, convenience,no-hassle,no gimmick set up, ad-free, delivers on its promises.
*Full range of customization, subject matter, categories.
Con:
*Paucity of content. I found that it lacked the
variety, quantity in the mainstream categories selected repeating viewed content repeatedly.
*Many new items were limited to one or two images which in most cases appeared in full TGP mode
for matter chosen to be viewed as "images".
The tool bar zoom-feature does not work in most cases but just use the Image-Zoom add-on,
one of Firefox's best add-ons ever.
Overall, I recommend 'Bring the Porn' as an excellent search tool for this sort of subject matter which IMHO will only improve with time as the content matter, variety, selection eventually get to expand.
Enhanced Bookmark Search
Not yet rated
I've tried to get this to work in every Firefox version I've had but can't get it to work.
Worst of all is that whenever I've installed it, it has always screwed up my bookmarks folder.
Split Tab
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I figured this add-on to be buggy but it worked flawlessly
presenting two separate web pages side-side, a dialog
box appearing to designate the url for each site.
It's nicely done for when you might require such a format.
Define
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I have found Define to be your best choice in Dictionary extensions.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.0).Gmail Skins
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I've always loved Gmail Skins but had to completely give
it up awhile back because it was driving me crazy with
its bugginess.
As I was perusing for new add-ons I once again came across Gmail Skins, read some of the reviews, re-installing as per
the directions given by Lockmaster (see below)
It seems to be working now even though I get a prompt every time I log in saying " gmail skins... no property" but for me its still worth the trouble. I'll try to live with it.
Review:
Problem solved!

The Skins tab disappearance is no longer a problem.

Extension Manager Extended
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
For those of you like myself with a fascination
for firefox/addd-ons who love to peek underneath the hood in firefox's profile folder, this add-on/
extension provides key information that for some reason is not provided otherwise.
For some obnoxoious reason, most of the add-on folders in the firefox profile are listed/IDed
by obscure rows of alphanumberic symbols that
seem designed to prevent them from being identified.
If you want to check any one add-ons folder in
your profile you'll come across this labeling configutation that effectively discourages you
from doing so because you simply don't know which
folder contains the add-on you want to review.
This thoughtful extension lists the obscure configuration the particular add-on is labeled
by in the profle folder directly in the add-ons
page in providing helpful information that is
otherwise not available.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
