Firefox extensions guide

This is the best extension guide I've found so far.
Obviously your choices on extensions may differ from the author, but it's a very good summary of the popular choices.

You can get all the extensions you need in just one package here ! :p:

That's fighting talk that is! ;) :D

Though, for the 0.9 version, there was an extension which added the opera ad, for those who wanted to convert to firefox, to make them feel at home. I wonder if they'll update it :D

I want my DownloadWith back :(:( :cry:

It's stopped working since I updated to 1.0PR :( now I have to right click and copy the link for Getright to pick it up :( :cry:

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

What does Getright do that Firefox with "Download sort" and "Download Statusbar" can't do?

Have you tried this?

I just like the interface of a proper d/l manager, don't really get on with the FF one tbh.

Plus the FF one doesn't do segmented downloading or mirror searching.

I also have DAP7 on but it's a bit resource-hungry and as it's the free version it's got the annoying banner ads- and as I can't work out how to block access to IPs I couldn't nuke the ads. Getright is better- it's the full vn of a cover CD so it's ad-free as well :)

Just d/led it, I'll say when I've used it...

have a rep... :)

Us Opera users don't need to fight .. the browser does all the talking for us ! :p:

The ads banner takes up so little room in the top bar few people really notice it and you'd need more than that to make Opera users convert to Ffox :PP:

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

But you don't need to convert. The best thing for the www is a plurality of web browsers in use. This will force web designers to design to standards and it will force browser builders to build to standards. To that end, the most important thing is that you don't prop up M$'s predatory monopoly by using IE.

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

How does that work? I selected the FlashGot option from the box and nowt happened...

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

Sorry, I have never used it. Only saw it and thought it sounded like what you needed.

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

Opera has its fans.

I used to like it, but the latest versions are too slow by a mile. It's also got too bloated, it was better when it fitted on a floppy.

The other problem is that by default it's too complex. Mozilla eventually grasped that mainstream users won't bother with something that's complex and geeky looking....which sadly is what Opera now looks like on a default install.

Having said all of that, I support Opera's aims and it's generally a very competent, very nice looking and very stable browser. They just need to simplify the default interface and speed the damn thing up again.

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

Quite agree, if someone is happy with Opera then they are using a secure, stable and competent alternative browser, don't see that there's any need to convert to Firefox in those circumstances other than if the user personally wants to.

Re: Firefox extensions guide
 

I have a question regarding Firefox which I hope has a simple answer.
When viewing a page in Yahoo Groups if that page has embedded music I hear nothing whereas in IE the music plays.
Am I missing something here as can find no option to be able to hear the music?
