Xinha Here! 0.17 is absolutely essential for posting to FR.
MR Tech Toolkit 6.0.4, Tiny Menu 2.0.2, and UI Tweaker (Formerly Toolbar Cleanup) 1.7.0 are essential to shrink the amount of screen real estate used for menus. IN combination a much better system than the FF4 hidden menubar IMHO.
THe following was generated using the InfoLister 0.10.4a1 extension:
Good thing I never downloaded FF4.
Will wait for FF5 and benchmark it myself
Tab Mix Plus will replace several of those.
Thanks for the list!
Link for Xinha Here! 0.17 doesn’t work. Get a ‘page not found’ sheet. Also, it comes up empty when going through add-ons search.
One of the reasons I’m still using Firefox 3.6.18 is the problem with addons not being compatible with the upgrade. Further, with the slowness and crashes reported with version 4, I think I’ll stick with version 3 for a while, at least until version 5 is proofed a bit longer.
The add-ons that I find most useful with Free Republic and other non-HTML bulletin boards are BBCode and BBCodeXtra. They allow one click posting of URL’s, images, bold, italics, etc. Also, Word Count Plus which allows me to not violate FR’s excerpting rules (1/3 of total article words or 300 words, whichever is less) when preparing an article for posting.
Other ones useful to me are Tab Saver (restores tabs if you accidentally close the Firefox window), and Tab X which gives each tab a close button.
I was given help with the incompatibility of add-ons with never Firefox versions by installing Add-on Compatibility Reporter which will identify incompatible add-ons but allow you to continue using them at your own risk, of course. Here is the information on this add-on:
