No I didn’t. Look again Joen. :-P The Plain Text Link extension is an absolute charm. It’s almost a prerequisite on some news websites. |
Doh, it’s cos it’s called “SpellBound”, I don’t know what I was looking for. I’m enjoying the PageRank extension thoroughly alreadly, although it seems to ignore certain pages … |
Nice list, though I would definitly add ieview to it, as every now and then you run across a site by an evil webmaster that only works in IE. ;) |
Joen
Is it ignoring those pages, or do they have a Pagerank of “0”? SpellBound probably ranks as my favourite too. As I have written before, this should be included with Firefox by default. Ryan Hey Ryan, thanks for the pointer. I had never even heard of IEView! I’ve been after something like this for ages - cheers. |
Hi, interesting - I posted a blog entry with essentially the same topic only yesterday… http://www.gnegg.ch/archives/myfavouritefirefox_extensions.html Philip |
Cool Philip. Great minds and all that… :-) |
The pagerank extension is either not working completely, or definately ignoring some pages. I doesn’t show a page rank of zero, it shows nothing, and on rollover the title says “n/a”. By the way, I’m also enjoying the Single Window extension — although not entirely user friendly. |
Strange that. It seems to work fine for me. When there is no Pagerank for a given page the rollover says “0/10” so your “n/a” does seem to indicate that something’s not quite right. |
People never seem to mention Session Saver, which has always seemed to me to be easily the best extension you could ever want I just use it, Single Window, Spellbound and the Web Developer extension. I’ve never felt the need for any others, although I’ll definitely be checking out your list |
I’ve installed Session Saver (thanks Lachlan) and I have to agree, this extension is incredibly useful - I’m already wondering how I managed without it. Good catch Lachlan! :-) |
Thanks, mate. That was the first thing I looked for when I changed to Firefox. I always used to end up with so many IE windows open that I had to leave the computer on so I could continue my reading the next day. Oddly enough, now that I have the capacity to keep them all, I finish the day with far fewer tabs open Thanks for the tip on TargetAlert. It is fantastic |
I use Firefox only for testing purposes (i stick with my Opera) so i only have the tabbrowser and developer extensions installed. That’s all i need for the moment. |
Further Notes: Since upgrading to Firefox PR1 I’ve noticed that the following extensions no longer work:
Hopefully, it won’t be long before their respective developers have brought these extensions up-to-date. I have also added three more extensions to my collection. Each of the following are already proving to be extremely useful:
|
Further Notes II: I’ve added a few more valuable extensions to my arsenal…
|
I think Mc Search Preview (http://docs.g-blog.net/code/mozilla_extensions) is better than Google Preview. More features, and it works on del.icio.us, Yahoo and A9, too. |
Ooh good extensions. You forgot the Spelling extension which you suggested yourself, earlier.
The PageRank extension, I’ve been waiting forever to have that, I didn’t know it was available now!
The Plain Text Link extension and User Agent Spoofer have also been added to my extension pool.
