- sluggysan, on 06/26/2008, -1/+179there should be an extension that keeps track of when extensions are released that are related to your existing extensions while also extending the capability of such extensions so that their use may be extended
- Dweller99, on 06/27/2008, -3/+108Why do so many of these "must have" lists have so many web developer tools on it? Do they really think that the majority, or even a significant minority, of Firefox users are web developers?
I guess "We’ve put together a list of 5+ must-have Firefox 3 extensions that we know you’ll enjoy along with some fluff like colorful tabs and some tools that 3% of the FF user base will use" does not have the same ring to it. - legendxx, on 06/28/2008, -11/+109Anyone with 30 extensions is an idiot.
- benburned, on 06/28/2008, -2/+68I fail to see how "colorful tabs" is a must have.
- mooboy322, on 06/28/2008, -2/+5130 more reasons why your firefox is so slow
- inactive, on 06/27/2008, -2/+51Theres like 5 good ones there, and only like 2 must haves.
- inactive, on 06/28/2008, -2/+49adblock plus FTW!
- InfamousAtheist, on 06/27/2008, -2/+46Still waiting for an update to make Tabmix+ compatible with FF3 :(
- AllINeed, on 06/26/2008, -11/+48ooh... I'm an addict for firefox extensions.. great list
- twiztidsinz, on 06/28/2008, -1/+21How the hell do you have issue with the address bar?
You type the address and hit enter...
You type a partial address and scroll through your history..
You type a partial name of a webpage and it finds it..
Where's the issue? It's not hard to operate the address bar - MrHappy123, on 06/28/2008, -4/+23Stop whining
- wakesabre, on 06/28/2008, -0/+19From the extension's homepage: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7031
Tab Mix Plus for FF3 - works great! - mitch37, on 06/28/2008, -2/+20You mean the new address bar? Christ, its great. Whats your problem.
- Rekzai, on 06/28/2008, -0/+18I really wouldn't call most of these "Must-Have".
- HydrogenOxide, on 06/28/2008, -1/+17Bury me a hole in the ground, but this list is just the reccomended addons found on addons.mozilla.com
- ryan83189, on 06/28/2008, -1/+16I don't think that internet explorer or any other web browser existed 20 years ago...
- greenlight2001, on 06/28/2008, -2/+1520 years?! You poor poor soul...
- theWaterboy, on 06/28/2008, -1/+13..yes, and it should be on this list!
- hadak, on 06/28/2008, -0/+12Welcome to Firefox. Been a hardcore user since somewhere around Firebird .7 or some such.
- 16777216, on 06/28/2008, -1/+13Hell, I didn't notice till I figured out that the little star is for bookmarking.
geekchic, shotgunefx : Oh-*****! It's different, can't... adapt... must kill it with fire. - clonek, on 06/27/2008, -1/+12Foxmarks is one of the only extensions I use. It's just so handy for sharing bookmarks in my dual-boot setup.
Keep your toolbars, I love my screen space! - inactive, on 06/28/2008, -2/+11Jeezus F-ing Christ, the binaryturf blog keeps linking to itself...
here is Colorful Tab 3.1
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/136 ... - Technohamster, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9You need adblock+. Seriously just try it.
- hiPpymIck, on 06/28/2008, -0/+9http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7031
- Technohamster, on 06/28/2008, -0/+8If you were really that old you'd be into netscape, not internet explorer.
- gtluke, on 06/28/2008, -0/+8firebug isn't installing for me
- HonoredMule, on 06/28/2008, -1/+8Hey is there a "stop hiding buried comments" script?
Better yet, a "stop hiding the children of buried comments" script.
It's almost like digg is intentionally encouraging me to only respond to or engage in dialogue with people that agree with me or are at least very talented wordsmiths. *tumbleweed rolls by* Circle-jerks for everyone, I guess. - iceman7291, on 06/28/2008, -2/+9How could the leave out piclens?! http://www.piclens.com
- maximumsteve1, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6I don't know, firebug makes me a power surfer when I'm just browsing. I can easily download streaming content, edit javascript to make a site behave the way I want to, and see neato things like what ajax is doing so I can easily write scripts to autmate data collection from sites. Basically everyone can benefit from firebug, not just developers.
- bashar129, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6@Molnies, I want that same "stop hiding the children of buried comments script" You can't change that in preferences. I don't know who ever thought that would be a good feature to put in digg. People naturally read comments from top to bottom, if the first comment is stupid and you digg it down, it does not mean you do not want to read all the children comments that were under it. I remember that this was a "feature" that was implemented when v2.0 was released I believe, but people complained and it was removed with an update. Why in the world would they bring it back is beyond me.
- HueytheFreeman, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6browser.urlbar.maxRichResults 0
problem fixed. - blackcloud333, on 06/28/2008, -0/+630+ Must-Have *Updated* Firefox 3 Extensions
- AudioPhil3, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6Will you powersurf with me?
- Baskins, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6I'd recommend "Research Word" -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/380 ... -- to that list. Beefed up version of the integrated right-click menu option when you select a highlighted word/phrase, also customizable. I find myself using it all the time.
- Gracenotes, on 06/28/2008, -0/+6Firebug is effing amazing. A must for anyone interested in JS development on the web. It has a useful JS Object browser (good for analyzing JSON), profiling, debugging, an HTTP request net tracker, an XHR tracker, diagnostic CSS/DOM capabilities, etc. fap fap fap
- ShaggyRogers, on 06/28/2008, -0/+5is the "awesome bar" REALLY that big of a pain? nobody's stopping you from just typing away. you don't have to use it, and it's not like it's getting in the way of performance.
or is it? why exactly do you hate it? - mitch37, on 06/28/2008, -0/+5Even though some of my extensions don't work on FF3, the main reason i upgraded for was the Awesome bar. Its great.
- sevenalive, on 06/28/2008, -2/+7LMAO, What about Adblock Plus. Ya thats what i thought, now continue to browse the internet w/ useless clutter.
I don't like opera, it used to be ad supported and i just hate their UI - gllopc, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6Firefox 3 is not a cult leader.
- splorpdotorg, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6You've been using IE for 7 years longer than it has existed? Neat-o. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryIE.mspx
- dbzlotrfan, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6Technically it has, since around the end of the 60's, to be exact. The first e-mail message was sent a month after we landed on the moon. Back than it was called "ARPANET". Ironically that eventually because what we call the internet.
- libertao, on 06/28/2008, -0/+5Are you saying you can survive without FlagFox??
- gllopc, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6You tend to exaggerate. From another posting of yours:
"That brings back too many memories...what happened to "happy days"? My nephew, (9 mos old at the time), would come running from anywhere in the house and just flop down in front of the TV for that theme music. Too cute. My favorite today is -Two and a half men- just like the tune!"
Your 9 month old nephew could run? Someone enjoys "Two and a Half Men"? You're a 45 year-old woman but make posts on the joys of Firefox and 1970's TV sitcoms?
Completely implausible. - freehunter, on 06/28/2008, -0/+5It has a setup when you first install, then it only shows up if you bookmark a site then close the browser before it has a chance to sync, it will ask if you want to sync the bookmarks first. Other than those two exceptions, you'll never have a problem with it.
- HonoredMule, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6Why have so many different extensions that do the same thing? Also, I'm envisioning a firefox GUI that looks like IE on a virus-laden computer: 40% toolbars and status bar icons.
- freehunter, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6They themselves are amature web developers (who downloaded wordpress and installed it to a server they're paying for), and like most amatures, they think as soon as they find something neat in their hobby, they have to throw it onto everyone they meet, claiming they must have some way to use it.
- faizal5k, on 06/28/2008, -0/+5I tried the GSpace extension, and Google suspended my account for a while because it violated their ToS. I advise you use it carefully and don't transfer ***** of data at a time.
- raintheory, on 06/28/2008, -1/+6...and it better have the most generic sounding name possible... so as to avoid confusion as to what it is / what it does... perhaps "firefox extension" .. is that name taken?
- DontGiveADamn, on 06/28/2008, -4/+9I work on a lot of computers and what you say is true. The more crap they have turned on, the more tool bars, the more auto starting apps the lower the IQ of the user. I am amazed how people can take a fast computer and turn it into a dog.
