My Reviews

Restartless Restart

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Restartless Restart works on Firefox release version, but is broken on Developer Edition and Nightly. The addon appears in about:addons, but the icon does not show in customize or appear in the default location. Mozilla apparently changed something it expected. This has been the first addon I install in any new profile, so I'm dismayed.

Extension List Dumper

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Extension List Dumper stopped working as of FF 30 or so. A fix requiring a change to one line of a JS file in the XPI was posted on Mozillazine. See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2831621

Extension List Dumper

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Extension List Dumper stopped working a couple of Nightly releases ago. When you invoke it, the List window appears, but has no content.

If you run Nightly, this is not for you.

Bluhell Firewall

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I'm playing with Bluhell on Firefox Australis Nightly. I'm not fanatic about blocking ads, and mostly just want to clean up ad heavy web sites. In limited tests, Bluhell has been effective and is lighter weight than the alternatives.One quirk, though: Australis just crashed, and a crash report was submitted. Mozilla.org sent an email acknowledging the report. Clicking on a link in the email caused Bluhell to spawn a page that looks like the standard Firefox blocked page screen stating it had been blocked for potential security vulnerabilities. Mozilla.org? Really?

I think Bluhell's really needs a whitelist with sites like Mozilla already on it.

Multiple Addon Deactivator

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This is a good start on a solution to a pressing problem. I have a *lot* of extensions, but I don't want to use all of them, all the time. For instance, I use the wonderful Firebug web development debugger tool. Firebug has a number of extensions designed to be used with it. I either want all of them, or none.

Right now I have different profiles customized for different purposes, and the differences are just which set of extensions are loaded.

I would *really* love the ability in a future release to classify extensions into groups, give the groups names, and enable or disable the entire group by name. This would potentially let me consolidate multiple profiles into one, by simply checking what group(s) I wanted active and restarting FF if I needed to change activities.

Extension List Dumper

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

NB: This is broken in current Aurora and Nightly builds. It's installed, but the Dump List button no longer appears inn the Addons Manager tab. (It shows briefly when the tab is rendered, then vanishes.) It works fine in FF 4.01 and 5.0 beta.

Extension List Dumper

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Thank you much for ELD. Firefox 4 broke MR Tech Toolkit, and ELD provides a much needed fill for a gap that left. The right-click option to open the Addons Manager in a new tab is especially useful, and the addon itself reduces the need to access the Tools menu (the Menubar is hidden in my installation.) There's a future expansion I'd love to see, but it's not clear how easy it would be to implement: Extend ELD to handle other forms of Addons. In particular, I'd *love* to be able to dump a list of installed UserStyles. I make extensive use of Jason Barnabe's Stylish extension, to modify web pages and FF itself wih custom CSS, but Stylish provides no way to dump a list of installed styles.If this is a "You *must* be joking! Do you have any idea what would be involved in doing that?" request, I'll understand. But it it *is* doable, I think it would be a good future direction to go. Thanks!

Lucifox

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Note: the version linked to at the top of this page is 0.81, and does *not* work in FF 4.0. There is an 0.82 release that *does* work, but you need to use Show All Versions to see it.

Or, you can use a direct link: :-)
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/117043/lucifox-0.8.2-sm+fx.xpi?src=version-history

The other comparable addon is EPUBReader. IT works well, but Lucifox gets the nod here because it lets you not have an ePub catalog, and specify where it is located if you do.

Stylish - Custom themes for any website

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

@Glen Ford
UserStyles.org works fine here, in FF 3.6. My ISP is Roadrunner, and I have both hardware and software firewalls active.

Sounds like it may be a DNS issue with your ISP.
