Focus Regainer

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It works!! Thank you very much, Mikhail, and I apologise for not properly checking my browser before saying that it didn't work. The culprit is Flashblock: when I enable that add-on, Regain Focus stops working for me. Otherwise it works perfectly! Firefox 22 with Noscript, Windows XP. I had set Noscript, Flashblock, Greasemonkey, and a few other add-ons to accept all Javascript, Flash, etc.—that is, I had done everything except disabling them in the add-on manager. I did that to test why it didn't work; and it didn't work under those conditions. But it turns out it was not enough to set Flashblock to "accept all scripts": Flashblock actually has to be disabled in the add-on manager for Regain Focus to work, at least on my Firefox.
Thankfully, we don't need Flashblock any more: with Firefox 24, you can pick "ask to activate", en then, where there is Flash on a page, click it and pick "always allow Flash on this website", at last!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.1-signed).

Thank you! I turns out [ &sout=1 ] is the parameter you need to use to search through the old layout. This search engine brilliantly adds that to the address, like this search for "volcano":

http://www.google.com/images?sout=1&q=volcano

I have added this as a bookmark, so that I can simply type "gim volcano" in the address bar to search in the old layout (or whatever keyword you specify instead of "gim"), no search box needed:

http://www.google.com/images?q=%s&sout=1

The %s marks where "volcano" or any other search word is inserted.
