My Reviews
FireFTP
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Years ago I wrote a batch file using the Windows FTP command line tool to update my personal web page at my ISP. One double-click and done. But my [unbelievably gross and obscene expletive deleted] ISP changed their process and broke my little tool. FireFTP works. Takes a couple of extra clicks, but is much more flexible. Thanks!
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1.1-signed).CompactHeader

Excellent! Without this add-on, I would be very tempted to revert back to an older version of T-bird.
This should be built-in. I cant imagine what type of user habits would benefit from that big clump of wasted space at the top of each message. Maybe a desperate L-user who forwards or replies to every message?
Sachio Search Toolbar
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It was quite a chore finding this Add-on. For some reason my searches through AMO* usually produced no good results. I was looking for a way to add to the context menu, and this did not show up--but I persisted, and I am glad I did.
I am a big fan of Google, and the Google Toolbar, but that was not quite enough. Now and then, I dont want to search the web, just maybe Wikipedia, maybe a dictionary, maybe Yahoo-Answers, or some other specialized information source. To aid in this, for several years I have had a folder on my Bookmarks toolbar filled with "Bookmarklets" which would do custom searches. But I could never make the bookmarklet search-results open a new tab. Plus the button was all the way up there on the toolbar.
Sachio Search Toolbar solved my problem. I dont care for the toolbar, dont even remember what it looks like--I keep it turned off. But I love the context menu. I love that I can double click a word to select it, then right click it and click the custom search in the popup. I love that it is easily customizable. I was able to quickly add "search services" for IMDB and Acronym Finder, and I will likely add more. Just run your favorite site-specific search once manually, and copy the resulting URL, and paste it into the Sachio URL setting, with the "[KEYWORD]" tag replacing the original search term.
Sachio is going on my list of "must have" Firefox Add-ons. I cant figure why this Add-On is not more popular. Maybe it needs a better description? More "tags"? Anyway, thanks Sachio. 5-stars.
* Note: If you had Sachio Search installed, and had added AcronymFinder.com to the service with 4 clicks you could find that AMO is short for Addons.mozilla.org (website)
Google Contacts
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Worked very well after I got it configured. Had used before with good results, but the setup menu like many minor menus on Ubuntu+Netbook, is too large ofor the screen, and does not scroll. Had to mess with the hotkeys (alt+F7, I think) to move and resize the screen to be able to get to the bottom controls. Otherwise worked fine.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
An excellent add-on. Works well with the "antipagination" extension, to archive web data. Some forums and such can be tedious to save otherwise. Antipagination lines them up, and UnMHT mows them down.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Fills an irritating gap in saving my words. Since forums of any stripe are vulnrable to crashing, reformatting, being taken down, I like to save my contributions occasionally. A handy way is to use the repagination add-on. But in Firefox, not all forums will let you save (as HTML) the result of a repaginated collection of pages.
(Does Firefox have to go back to the internet to re-download when I save a file? --seems so for me)
But UnMHT works fine for what I need--not just to save space, but to provide functions that I could not do otherwise.
Custom Buttons

Or so 0.2.7 says. What a pain. Hope I have a backup somewhere. I really have gotten dependent on my custom \"Close Tab\" button, now this.\r\n
=== next day ===
I got 0.2.6 running again. But it may not have been the fault of CB. Had several other extensions claim incompatibility at the same time.
Whew, I was having withdrawal symptoms.
