rocketman089 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hey, just wanted to know what types of extensions everyone has. I'm browsing them and trying to find good, usefull ones.

Mercifull Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 IEView - Means i can right click and open any page in IE from within Firefox Firefoxview - The same but viseversa. Rick click open in FF from within IE Foxytunes - Can control my mp3 player from within Firefox, Excellent extention contributed to by Hannibal i belive. Mozilla Calendar - pretty self explanitory lol BBCode - Excellent add on. Usefull for inserting code into forums and websites. ImageZoom - Nice little rezise utility for images Dictionary search - Now i can select a word and right click search on dictionary.com and answers.com you can add your own right click mods Greasemonkey - Scripting utility. Requires a little understanding of how websites work. You can manipulate sites with this such as remove adverts and stuff. Live HTTPheaders - hard to explain Tabbrowser preferences - better preference system for changing the tab settings.

Hannibal Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I have waaaay too many. My tools menu is about twice as large as the default one :( Anyhow, without further ado: BBCode - See merc's post. Very very very useful for posting on forums, or writing XHTML. ChatZilla - IRC client. I help developing it, so I love it ;). Very decent client considering it's all written in javascript and XUL. Greasemonkey - Let's you run additional scripts on specific sites. I use it to kill off some ads, and repair bad text (such as stuff like 'u now wut i am, dud, i am 1337 man' (as you can see, I'm very bad at writing like that, but you get the point) FoxyTunes - Let's get one thing straight, Merc, I didn't write it ;). It's good stuff though, I've got a ChatZilla plugin that displays the song currently playing in WinAmp, which uses this too. Tabbrowser Preferences - Going to do away with this when we get Firefox 1.1, when most of these things will have been integrated. Useful for now though. Launchy - Lets me open stuff in IE, Mozilla, my editor, notepad, GIMP, and any program I care to add myself. Very useful. Sage - RSS Reader Web Developer stuff: Live HTTP Headers - Displays what the browser sends to get pages, and what exactly the server sends back. Useful for web developers JavaScript Debugger - Name says it all, I think. Component View - Used to get info on Mozilla XPCom objects. Only useful for Mozilla developers. Web Developer Toolbar - Ultra useful toolbar to control a page's CSS, check validness, get speed / accessibility reports, resize the window to see how a page looks in a different resolution, disable java, javascript, styles or anything else on the fly, etc. etc. This is definitely one of the best extensions I know of. ColorZilla - Useful for creating CSS with colors, can be used in conjunction with the Web Developer toolbar (which lets you edit the CSS in Live, so you see the results immediately) to do CSS quickly and nicely. DOM Inspector - Installed with Firefox. Lets you examine the Document Object Model of a webpage or a XUL window. Extremely useful for developers.

Faux Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 I have a question about FoxyTunes. When I try to hide iTunes, it doesn't work but it I can hide Windows Media Player no problem. Is the Foxytunes I hav is outdated or is it just like that? :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vape Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 BBCodeXtra - does the same as BBCode but it's slightly different. Bookmark Backup - I test extensions for UMO and every now and then you get one that decides to corrupt your profile or whatever. This extension backs up all the vital data. Delicious Delicacies - Restore the legend! Since Phoenix 0.1, through Firebird and up untill July 24, 2004, the Firefox privacy panel contained "Cookies are delicious delicacies" as the description of site cookies. On that day, developer Mconnor removed the text and replaced it with what we see today. On irc, Blake Ross, the original author of the text, exclaimed: [blake2] congratulations mconnor [blake2] you just destroyed a legend! This extension restores the original text. Sorry, erm... getting back to my extensions... Forecastfox - Displays the current weather conditions (so you don't have to look out the window) and very customisable forecasts. Gmail Notifier - Better than Google's own notifier. Greasemonkey - For power users to customise the pages they visit. Mass installer - When you create a new profile, use this extension to install a whole bunch of extensions automatically. Mouse Gestures - quickly navigate in your browser using the mouse. I use it to go back and forward, close tabs, pen new tabs, and go to the enxt and previous tabs. MR Tech's Local Install - Easily install extensions and themes from local files. Platypus - A "UI" for Greasemonkey. Use to customise sites to you see what you want to see. Slim Extension List - Slims it down so it only displays the description for the one you have highlited. WebmailCompose - Makes mailto: links automatically open in a webmail site of your choosing. Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
