My personal, frequently used Firefox extensions

DIY Firefox extension version 2.0

Update: It’s beter to change it to a flexible number so it’s future prove So I changed “2.0” to “2.*” like this 0.7 2.* You just installed FireFox 2.0 and enjoying it! You want to use one of your favorite extensions but you can’t: it’s not compatible with FireFox 2.0. You want to install a [...]

Flash tools of the trade: flash-plugin switcher

Very recently I wrote about a Firefox extension: the FlashTracer written by Alessandro Crugnola. This extension will only make the hearts of Flash developers go faster, which it did in my case: I love this plugin! And although this is a relative new Firefox extension, it already helped me debug a application that I build. [...]

Firefox 2.0 installed

Yes I did, 2 days ago. That not really hot news… (although Firefox promotion is always good!). It has some very nice new features so check it out. Although this is not why I talk about Firefox; I created a Firefox extensions series to explain why I use them. And the coming of Firefox 2.0 [...]

Flash tools of the trade: debug

I try not to regurgitate info from other blogs… But I have to talk about a entry from Alessandro: because it makes me “extremely” happy. The creator of SE|PY: Alessandro Crugnola has created his first firefox extension. Good for him, but what it´s to me? Well… it’s one of the first tools that makes it [...]

Helpfull blog Firefox extensions

I am investing way to much time in explaining my frequently used Firefox extensions collection. So to speed this list up, I will dump a group of extensions a once. It’s possible I wrote about it before, but who cares…. [mck] very useful if you need to set a signature or something else you often [...]

Spelling Firefox extensions

As I said before… I’m not a great speller in my native tongue, and I’m even worse in a foreign language! And I suggested to use tinySpell for people who recognize this problem. The problem with this program is that it only works on Windows and at this moment I’m working on Linux…. So I [...]

Resizeable Textarea firefox extension

Very quickly after I started writing for my blog, I stop using the “EditorMonkey” plugin. This plugin is a default install with WordPress, which turns the normal WordPress textarea into a WYSIWYG editor using TinyMCE or FCKeditor. And the that’s the reason I stopped working with it, WYSIWYG editors don’t work like I want them [...]

Firefox Extension Backup Extension

Another extension that is part of my frequently used Firefox extensions collection. Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE) FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up — It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office [...]

Firefox extensions, the list becomes bigger and bigger

I’ve written about the Firefox extensions that I use. Some new extensions are added and some not so usefull extensions are deactivated. So I desided that the new extension should be added to the list. First I want to talk about PDF Download. But why use it? I use it because Firefox freezes up when [...]

Bookmarks cleanup

I’ve been collecting bookmarks for about 7 years now. I started in IE and imported them later in Firefox. Started to make categories to make it somewhat managable… But it seems that some of the sites I collected 7 years ago are no more… sadly. So I wanted to clean up my bookmarks (it must [...]
