My Reviews

VeriSign's OpenID SeatBelt

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I don't think this is exactly a groundbreaking add-on, since(on the practical side) it does pretty much the same thing as Firefox's built in password manager... and only works with predetermined sites. But still, it works, and it does what it says - one click and you're in. (I'm using FF 3.0.9)

Speed Dial

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Hello!
I use speed dial for some quite some time now and never had any problem. But since a few days ago i noticed my Firefox started with a strange behaviour. Whenever the mouse cursor was not moving (like now, when i'm typing, not using the mouse) it would show the hourglass continually, like forever continually - just as if there was something loading, but there was not anything loading, actually. After some time trying to figure out what was the problem, i found out it was Speed Dial since the problem stopped after i disabled it. The problem occured even if i didn't have the "Speed Dial" front page open. It didn't cause any crash or anything, but it was just annoying you know, having the hourglass spinning constantly.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.2.6). 

Hide Menubar

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely LOVED this add-on, probably the one thing that allows you the most free screen while preserving the access to most used brower functions.
1. Tip One: this is great to use with the Vista Aero skin. You have prompt management of your Favorites (for those who don't want to right-click or press tab).
2. IT WORKS IN FULL SCREEN!! (at least with the Vista Aero skin, haven't checked the others), that means no more browsing with the USELESS titlebar.
Thanx man!! I loved this!!

Chrome Package

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I can't download this! it gives me an "invalid signature/corrupted download (-261)" thingy. I already had this problem with another experimental extension too. But still, the project looks great, this extension seems to be EXACTLY what i was looking for. The only thing I praise Google Chrome for is almost eliminating (minimizing, actually) the TOTAL USELESSNESS of the Titlebar, beyond that of course of stealing useful screen space. What's the purpose of the titlebar once you have tabs? Of course everyone knows what software one is using, you don't need it written on the titlebar. And for close/maximize/minimize purpose you will always have keyboard shortcuts and context menus. From looking at your screencap, i'd tip you to make the titlebar space above the tab a lot more thinner. Will it retain the funcionality of double clicking the tab-bar in order to open a new tab? Or will it be only via the new tab button? Do you have anything in mind regarding the taskbar too to look like Chrome's? Good luck with your add-on, i hope to be able to use it soon :-)

It didn't work for me here same as users fcig and Pantaleão. I'm using Format Toolbar Composer which is great but your add -on seems less intrusive and more complete. I'll wait for a bugs fix though hopefully.

DownThemAll!

There's nothing slow about this. It's better than all other Firefox download managers available.
