Msg: Re: OT: FireFox: Here We Go Again . . . .

Kari,

Thanks for that. I'll check out the ones that are new to me. Soon the question may become "Which of the ones we most need or use will be compatible with Pale Moon ?" Unless the Mozilla developers pull a 180 and relent on what was announced . . . but that's unlikely, because we're talking about a major sea change on the APIs here, rather than just that 'signing' business for extensions, which although it presented a big banana peel in our path was still able to be circumvented. The ESD track of FireFox may not be affected by this for some additional time.

Here is my own list:

Abduction!
AdBlock Plus, w/ AdBlock Plus Pop-Up Add-on
Avast Online Security (auto-installed by my antivirus program)
Back / Forward Dropmarker
Blur
Cacheviewer2
Converter
Cookies Manager+
Copy Links
Customizations for AdBlock Plus
Default Full Zoom Level
Disconnect
Download Youtube Videos as MP4
DownThemAll!
DownThemAll! Anti-container
Element Hiding Helper for AdBlock Plus
Extended Copy Menu (fix version)
FlashGot
Greasemonkey (running a few scripts like Anti-AdBlock Killer and Google Bar Classic)
IE Tab 2
Mozilla Archive Format
NoScript
Nuke Anything Enhanced
OldBar
Print Edit (looked very promising, but I never quite got the hang of it . . . )
ProfilistPortable (to test or manage multiple user profiles, but this one is for Portable FF)
Remove It Permanently
Resurrect Pages
RSFind! Mod
Status-4-Evar
Yahoo Mail Hide Ad Panel (essential for my sanity !)

Disabled: Menu Editor and Quick Translator, due to stability issues.

Chrome has a translation option built-in, one of the few advantages it offers, along with often better print options and control.

Some collection from this roster is present on all my machines. A few of these like the Zoom Level one (I think this feature may now be standard in FF anyway) and Resurrect Pages may no longer be relevant or work so well, so I may drop them, as I have dropped certain others. But other add-ons like Extended Copy Menu I use every day.

The Chrome extensions are just generally not as good -- in my experience. Some Chrome extensions I have sampled attempted to sneak some nasty malware in. I've *never* had that experience with FF add-ons, even when everything was unvetted and unsigned.

Hello Jordan,

The add-ons can no doubt make or break your Firefox experience. Here is
a list of my favorites: Adblock Plus, Add to Search Bar,
All-In-One-Sidebar, Clippings (also works in Thunderbird!), colorPicker,
Context Highlight, Context Search, FireFTP and last, but not least,
Scrapbook. Maybe there is something for you to consider in this list, too!
