Emoji Menu

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This add-on DOES use Unicode characters. Like it should be. So it is better than the other one, which inserted images, and created a huge privacy leak.
BUT: It still inserts HTML, to display the images for users who have the add-on installed. Which makes no sense, since it is a waste of data for users who don’t have it installed, which is almost everyone.
Example: <span class="emojione e1-1F98A"><span>

This add-on does NOT insert emoji!
It inserts tracking images, disguised as emoji!
So every e-mail you insert them in, is going to be tracked!
The maker of the add-on knows exactly who your correspond with, and even your emotions WRT those people!

It could have been done much safer, by using actual Unicode characters, aka *actual* emoji.
Or at least, by using data: URLs to embed the images, and maybe the Unicode characters for clients that don’t display images.

Conclusion: DO NOT INSTALL!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.4). 

WebDAV for Filelink

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Just mount your server's share directory with sshfs, curlftpfs, WebDrive, and copy the file over with your bog-standard file manager, like a normal person and like it was intended.

Then the FileLink add-on part can be reduced to

s/$mountpoint/$url/

e.g.

s|/home/evilmachine/www/share.evilserver.com/files/|http://share.evilserver.com/|

In other words: Congratulations. You re-invented the wheel. *Badly*.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3).

There is no reason, why a add-on that calls some Firefox-own API functions, would have to be Windows-only. It’s silly.
Please make this platform-independent.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (7.4.1-signed).
