My Reviews

This is super useful for 2 reasons:
you can create template replies for repeating answers, so it is great for support or donation mail.
the built in HTML source view. This is simply a must in order to create great looking emails without resorting to an external editor. Supports everything gecko8 supports, so it is CSS3, including border radius, gradients, transitions, anything that would make a web site look nice, now also in my emails.
thanks for a great extension.

A must have for every extension developer.

Lovely extension, which I didn't use for a while because it made DispMUA do strange things. Now I have written a patch and put up a link here:

Extra Folder Columns
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This one is valuable and indispensable. Some people think that this work is done by my extension quickfolders, so I think it would be a good idea if you could upload a preview screenshot (maybe before-after) so people know at a glance what it does.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank you, awesome extension. You really add some good value with each new version, I can see that you want to make the UI as simple and productive as possible. I especially like the use of the top dropdown notification bar for showing blocked Master Password queries - very easy on the eye and simple to use.
Keep up the good work, and keep simplifying !

This Add-On has no title (and appears as "None"), please give it a name and re-submit to the AMO Editor team.
Saved Password Editor
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I would love it if you could minimize the amount of buttons it puts on the Password window and also doesn't disable my context menu from my extension QuickPasswords. I think together they could make a pretty good team.

Very good, please bump up compatibility!!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5). This user has a previous review of this add-on.JavaScript Debugger
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works quite well for me (in Firefox 3.6 and TB 3.0.4). Sometimes I wish the save breakpoints / save watch / window layout settings would be a little more persistent, and also some easier UI driven settings for window sets (instead of having to look up the command line syntax), but all in all a useful tool. Drag and drop for watch expressions would be awesome!
Beats looking up the error console by far!
Screenshot Pimp
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
It is an interesting technique to add a toolbar as part of an update (and to change the search engine). I currently use, lets see, 45 extensions; with my current theme (Mostly Crystal) these are 40 pixels high, so this means I would need to scroll through at least 1800 Pixels of advertisement area before seeing my web pages :) I usually do not install extensions that add unnecessary toolbars, but I have seen plenty of users who had 4 to 5 different toolbars that they actually never ever used. Most of them were not even aware what Software installed them - I think this method of monetization is at least questionable; I prefer registration fees or donations, at least that's an honest request for money.

I think you should give this Extension a name?
Mostly Crystal (for Firefox)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Was always my favorite, and will always remain my favorite. Its extremely clear, adds just the right amount of Color, the SVG icons are adorable and its extremely well made - flawless.
Very clear through its choice of form and color. Apart from this it is well supported on all platforms and there is a comprehensive homepage.
Rainbowpicker

Great and useful - is there a possibility to hack it to appear as popup instead of modal dialog?

Using this for years now, it is indispensable for both Extension Development and Web site development. If I had to chose one extension for development that I couldn't live without, it would be this one.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5).Additional Folder Views
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
The idea is simply doubling up the functionality of thew folder plane one the left - I am not quite sure whether this is too useful, as it halves the scrollable area - I guess you can set it up similar to outlook where you can have a "favorite" panel on top of the folders. One problem with this approach that if you need shortcuts because of an overly populated folder tree, you actually worsen the problem by taking away valuable vertical scroll space.
Another problem is that both folder panels seem to compete for focus so you need to look twice in order to know which folder you are currently in. I have had a brief look at the source code and saw that it(temporarily) overwrites some global helper method GetFolderTree - this code is not thread safe, which means that it can break other extensions or the behavior of Thunderbird itself.
onSelect: function(aEvent) {
var tmp = GetFolderTree;
GetFolderTree = gAFViewOverlay.additionalFolderTree.ref;
FolderPaneSelectionChange(aEvent);
GetFolderTree = tmp;
},
instead of doing this, the author should consider copying the functionality of the FolderPaneSelectionChange function so that it is used for his own Folder Pane.
If you are using the additional folder tree mainly for shortcuts, I would also suggest to try QuickFolders. It does a better job for laying out quick dragable folder locations in a space saving and practical manner - as it creates a multi dimensional / tabbed area similar to Tab Mix Plus and the Personal Bookmark Toolbar.
Remember Mismatched Domains

Very simple interface, does exactly what it says and removes one of the last annoyances of working with old mailboxes. A+++!
LookOut
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This works very well with attachments sent in Office 2007. Now I can see attachments from colleagues & customers again.
the body-rtf attachment is a good workaround to see the formatted message (in-line would be nice, but probably a bit much to ask).
feature request: Could you add an option to hide the Winmail.dat attachment itself? It is not necessary once I have my attachments displayed.
Folderpane Tools

THis is handy & easy to use. Worked without any problems. 8 pop accounts, 4 news servers and RSS could be re-sorted to be much more painless. Together with quickfolders its really useful for minimizing all the scrolling.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.0.5.1).Outlook 2003 BlueTB
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
THis is really well done, lots of attention to detail, I like the alternation between blue and orange gradients, very subtle like the office 2003 skins wihtout being overly "glassy". Lightning integration works quite well, could still be improved a bit more. I did not manage to get the texts beside the buttons, like on your screenshot, how did you do this?
