Revision as of 03:07, 28 October 2007
David McRitchie, my main Firefox web page begins with
- Firefox customizations (Notes) -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm
- notes on extensions that I use -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/firefox.htm#ext_table
Another way of viewing my website is through
- Firefox customizations in Pictures -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/pictures.htm
My System: Firefox 2.0.0.8 using about 110 enabled extensions, Dell Inspiron 1521 (laptop) with pre installed Windows Vista Basic Home (32 bit), hardware: AMD Turin 64 X2 Mobil Technology TL-50, 1.87 GB RAM, ATI Radeon XL270, Hard drive is 160 GB (8GB reserved), Windows NTSF files.
laptop has a 15" screen (13" x 8")
- Infolister Listing (Main) lists actual extension installed at last web update -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/infolister_listing.htm
Additional Firefox pages on my website:
- Bookmarks in Firefox
- Context Menus (Right-Click Menus) and Toolbars in Firefox
- Extensions, my choices (past/present) with short descriptions
- FAQ about Firefox 2.0 (Fx2 issues)
- Firefox Portable (notes)
- Keyword Shortcuts
- Mouse usage in Firefox
- Profile
- QuickLaunch additions for Firefox Usage (Windows)
- Tabbed Browsing in Firefox
- Testing New Profile and Safe Mode
- Wiki Markup
Extensions
More information on Extensions than could be included on my home page (I use these extensions)
- Adblock please start from Adblock on my home page, My Filters [1]
- COPYURL Plus, format a link for HTML
- GreaseMonkey, use Platyput to feed GreaseMonkey
- Platypus, easy way to create GreaseMonkey scripts
Problems and Pet Peeves
- Addons_2007 New Format major problems (Bug: 372841) very little improvement at AMO (addons.mozilla.org), even if I personally can do searches with Google.
- Profile not readily available for users, makes it difficult to help others and wastes tens of thousands of hours in the Firefox community (finding/helping/documenting).
- Bloated extensions or extensions where a simple user configuration change would have sufficed Options (Tools menu), about:config, userContent.css, userContent.css, user.js)
- Inability to lock a Tab (Bug: 392313) without an extension such as "PermaTabs" (conflicts with "Customize Google") or with very questionable "TMP" (bloated, poor - reversed naming usage). Strange to have an outright rejection as Opera has some of what is wanted. Very difficult to work with validating a lot of links when invoking a link can hide the page you are working on then get it refreshed, so you have to start all over again.
