Extensions

I’m currently organising these into collections on the Mozilla Addons site.

• Dropbox – Slimmed-down collection for my Dropbox instance.
• Development

For the remainder, extensions in bold are currently installed, regular not installed but used occasionally, italics gone but recommended.

• Add to Search Bar
• CheckPlaces
• Dafizilla ViewSourceWith
• Download Statusbar
• DownThemAll – Download loads of files.
• Favicon Picker 3
• Find Toolbar Tweaks – Really must hack these into chrome.css manually.
• FireFTP
• Greasemonkey – Used this to handle print formatting and a few other odds and sods, not useful enought to survive my regular “lean ‘n’ mean” purges.
• IE View
• LastPass Password Manager – Password management via the cloud. Reverted to KeePass in Dropbox.
• Nightly Tester Tools
• Paste and Go 3
• Prism
• QuickRestart
• Saved Password Editor – Allows you to edit passwords in the FF database. Used too little to keep installed.
• Screengrab
• Send Tab URLs
• SubmitToTab
• Vacuum Places
• Weave – Sync lots of FF data. Doesn’t do extensions, so I keep my profile in Dropbox.
• Xmarks – Bookmarks/Passwords Sync. Replaced with Dropbox.

Thunderbird

• Quicktext
• Sync Kolab
• Remove Duplicate Messages
