Title: My Firefox Extensions
Post by: Lisandro on June 30, 2007, 03:42:52 AM
Sometimes we discuss here some of the Firefox (Flock) extensions. But we rarely post a full list of them. I think extensions give some clue what about our interests, how we see the web, how do we surf, how do we think about security, speed, and so on.

So, here is mine (I'll try to keep this post updated) and I'll ask the others who participate in this thread to do the same. I think links will be welcome  8) You can make this list with MR Tech Local Install (http://www.mrtech.com/extensions/local_install/) features.

With NoScript, you don't need FlashBlock as it incorporates a flash blocker.

I haven't got than many and most are in your list.

BBCodeeXtra - allows you to use BB (forum) Code in web page text boxes (like quick reply) without having to open the full reply option. Very handy for those who post regularly on forums.

Download Manager Tweak - other/limited options for the firefox download function.
httpOnly - adds httpOnly cookie support to firefox.
Mozilla Archive Format - Save complete pages in a single file (for off-line reference/viewing).
OpenBook - Allows for customization of the Add Bookmarks dialogue.
QuickRestart - Adds a Restart Firefox to the Tools menu.
ShowImage - Adds context menu entry to reload images that failed to show on the page.
Translate 0.6.0.8 - another option to the translator extension - for pages and selected text.
View Cookies - View cookies of the current web page.

I'll give them a try...

Not compatible with Firefox 2.0.0.4

Download Manager Tweak - other/limited options for the firefox download function.
FlashGot do it...

OpenBook - Allows for customization of the Add Bookmarks dialogue.
The Bookmark Backup and Bookmark Duplicate Detector do it.

QuickRestart - Adds a Restart Firefox to the Tools menu.
ShowImage - Adds context menu entry to reload images that failed to show on the page.
These are already present, no need for an extra extension, at least for me.

Translate 0.6.0.8 - another option to the translator extension - for pages and selected text.
Not compatible with newer Firefox... I know there is a trick (workaround), but...

View Cookies - View cookies of the current web page.
CookieSafe does it...

Mozilla Archive Format works for me and I don't think I have tweaked the installation file to get it to work with 2.0.0.4.

I think I did use the tweak on the installation file to get Translate 0.6.0.8, it is too useful a tool to lose.

I've looked here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/212
It's said: Works with: Firefox 1.5 – 1.5.0

It passes validation when I do a check for updates, etc. download the xpi file and use 7zip to open the file it is just an archive file. Extract the install.rdf file with a text editor and you will find the minVersion and maxVersion which shows it supports 1.7 - 1.8, I must have changed the maxVersion>2.* or 2.1 say.

Quote from: From original install.rdf
      <Description>
        <em:id>{86c18b42-e466-45a9-ae7a-9b95ba6f5640}</em:id>
        <em:minVersion>1.7</em:minVersion>
        <em:maxVersion>1.8</em:maxVersion>
 

Save the install.rdf file and put it back in the archive (OK the replace existing file, etc) save the .xpi file and your good to go.

The usual warning don't do this if you are scared of the consequences, etc. etc.

I know it will give some work... but can't you find the links?
Googling each one is almost impossible to get the extension page and then learn about it... :'(

Well people can use the Firefox, Tools, Add-ons, at the bottom of the window is a link to Get Extensions. Searching here wouldn't be much of a problem, I'm also a believer if something is worth having it is worth a little effort to find it. That is I feel better than one person doing all the donkey work.

Or look in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/)

Hi Tech,

Then you only need one extension, that is search with http://searchwith.mozdev.org/
What to do for the other extensions - highlight them and then search with "search with" to find the others.
The mozdev.org site also has a large collection of add-ons/extensions, also those temporarily in the sandbox.

Mind this, it is advisable to scan your extensions before downloading them, and download them preferably from the https site so you know you get the real mac coy.
Then some extensions may interfere with other extensions. Some extensions have known memory leaks,
error console console2 is better than the default error console that comes with FF or Flock, locationbar2 is better than the default address bar that comes with FF or Flock. Why the developers did not gave up their inferior versions is beyond me. Also why NoScript for security reasons was not brought in by default, but then as you come to think of it; commercialists rather incorporate Stumble upon and Alexa's as default then NoScript or Stealther. Those that earn from ad-crap vote those extensions out that hinder them too much in getting money for your clickstream, like an extension like RDR that make your browser definitely safer, see: http://redirectremover.mozdev.org/
Every security aware user of this forum knows the insecurity of certain things in the browser, like: redirects, certain tracking third party cookies, malicious script vectors, silent downloads etc. But more secure browsers has not reached the big masses yet.

Hi Tech,

Sorry, I should have posted that as a PM, but returning to the topic, drhayden can post his list of extensions here to make amends. Just to come back to something that keeps my mind occupied since you mentioned it, Tech, is that I have second thoughts now about that greasemonkey add-on. And it is your remarks that spooks through my head all the time. Now I say, Tech is a 100% right. It has interfered and torpedoed my AdblockPlus extension's workings. So I had it disabled. It is a good thing for you all to open up your error console once in a while to see what goes on under the hood. Browsers are very intricate tools. But again summa summarum extensions make the Mozilla browser shine, without my extensions I think I would not touch my Flock anymore, I would feel surfing in the nude.

In this context, manual work that doesn't require someone of Tech's ability to do it. It is an onerous task to do for all the extensions that Tech has. When someone only wants one or two, then they and I, would I'm sure be happy to do the donkey work on our own behalf.

Here is my list--rather minimal, and most are duplicates of those already posted:

Adblock Plus 0.7.5.1 (http://adblockplus.org/)
Copy Plain Text 0.3.3 (http://mozmonkey.com/)
Distrust (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=distrust&status=4)
Dr.Web anti-virus link checker 1.0.14 (http://www.drweb.com/)
Fasterfox 2.0.0 (http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/)
Flashblock 1.5.3.1 (http://flashblock.mozdev.org/) *
Free Download Manager plugin 1.0 (http://freedownloadmanager.org/)
Locationbar2 (http://en.design-noir.de/mozilla/locationbar2/)
NoScript 1.1.5 (http://noscript.net)
translator 1.0.4.3 (http://byron-adams.com/)
United States English Dictionary 2.0.0.6 (http://www.blogzilla.info/spellchecker/)

*Yes, I know NoScript can block flash, but on some "allowed" sites, primarily those I use for work, I still want to block flash images.  And Flashblock works on sites I have chosen to have NoScript allow.

(edit:  added Distrust, which was inadvertently omitted)

I've tested in the past... but I use very little.

Flashblock 1.5.3.1 (http://flashblock.mozdev.org/) *
Read David's post... this is not needed if you have NoScript. You can uninstall it.
But indeed, I'll think twice if it works on sites that we have chosen to allow NoScript...

Free Download Manager plugin 1.0 (http://freedownloadmanager.org/)
Very good one 8)

Locationbar2 (http://en.design-noir.de/mozilla/locationbar2/)
This was suggested by Polonus... But my address bar become shaded and I can't see the address very well... seems obfuscating more than protecting... What do you think?

NoScript 1.1.5 (http://noscript.net)
Number 1 must have...

translator 1.0.4.3 (http://byron-adams.com/)
I use little... I mostly browse in English...

United States English Dictionary 2.0.0.6 (http://www.blogzilla.info/spellchecker/)
A great tool for the forums...
Title: Re: My Firefox Extensions
Post by: polonus on July 01, 2007, 01:29:57 AM
Hi Tech,

Locationbar2 took the favicons out of the address bar, because there is a security issue (interaction with the chrome) that does not make it secure. The official suggestion is to leave the favicons only in the tabs, official CA proposal, so in FF 3.0 the favicons will go missing from the address bar.
I combine locationbar2 with Redirect Remover, and always have an eye on the current IP I visit at the bottom of the browser, so I see I write this posting for 70.84.157.228 that is served from an Apache server and then in the Netcraft Anti-phishing toolbar, the only one allowed into my browser I see this web forum is hosted by ThePlanet.comInternetServices RiskRating all green.

*Yes, I know NoScript can block flash, but on some "allowed" sites, primarily those I use for work, I still want to block flash images.  And Flashblock works on sites I have chosen to have NoScript allow.

A year or so I contacted the guy who built the flash block to see why it didn't work and we spent a bit of time trying to find out why, in the end it came down to NoScript actually blocking the functionality to run flashblock. FlashBlock used Javascript and NoScript blocked Javascript. So it was chicken and egg at that time.

We don't actually specifically check for NoScript; we just check if
javascript is "working", and NoScript makes it look like javascript
is not as far as Flashblock is concerned. Please use the Flash blocker
built into NoScript instead.

Cheers.

Phil

Unless there have been changes I don't know if this is still the case, perhaps they now check for NoScript. I suppose you could visit a site with known Flash (that you haven't allowed in NoScript) and see if the FlashBlock option is greyed out.

It does.  On sites you allow, the Flashblock option is available.  On sites not allowed, the Flashblock option does not appear--same as if Flashblock is not installed.  I have been using this combination more than a year with no problems.

It makes dial-up almost bearable. ;D

If you move your mouse over the address bar, the entire address appears clearly.

Number 1 must have...
I am completely convinced.

translator 1.0.4.3 (http://byron-adams.com/)
I use little... I mostly browse in English...
English is my only spoken/written language (American Sign Language is my second language), but I sometimes need information not readily available in English.  I find this extension more convenient than other translators.

I'll return it back and test...

If you move your mouse over the address bar, the entire address appears clearly.
I know... but I don't think it really 'automatic' protects nothing... you must pay attention on the address. It's impossible to work or surf being 'worried' with that...

Always have an eye on the current IP I visit at the bottom of the browser
Too much for me... paranoid... I won't be able to do so as I've written before.

Because HTML emails work the same as a webpage (images, etc.) and elements could be blocked, filtered and so on.

If you move your mouse over the address bar, the entire address appears clearly.
I know... but I don't think it really 'automatic' protects nothing... you must pay attention on the address. It's impossible to work or surf being 'worried' with that...

Very true, Tech.  But, if I am not wearing my glasses, the address is difficult for me to see clearly anyway.  Having part of the address shaded then makes the un-shaded part easier to see.  So, for me, it is actually less obfuscating that way then.  I am undecided, but considering the security issue Polonus mentioned ( Reply #23), Locationbar2 will stay until I make up my mind.  I can't say I dislike it.

About Polonus ones, after testing, I give up on:

1. AdblockPlusElementHidingHelper
3. AddNEditCookies
7. ConfigurationMania

Keep these ones for further testing:
11. Distrust
32. SafeCache
33. SafeHistory
34. SearchKeys

Hi Tech,

I have not decided which one of the others I will adopt. There are a few TedNelly has I will try out. I'll inform you on what I choose. Good to discuss these items here, better is to know what is your privacy item or security angle why you took a specific add-on/extension on board.

I'm trying that safecache extension and I'm not sure it is suitable for those on dial-up. I rely on my cache to improve speed on repeat visits or common images, etc. in the likes of forums. Because of the way safecache works (or at least my interpretation), it creates a cache linked to the originating page, so any common images, avatars, buttons, etc. would have to downloaded again.

So at the moment I'm experiencing some large slow downs, admittedly I cleared my cache to ensure that there would be no benefit from the old cache. So I'm seeing some realy slow page loads with the throbber doing its thing, mostly in the avast forums.

Hi forum friends,

Cannot see why you all do not like the ABP extension. Do not like the Yahoo and Google ads, subscribe to the list on the link mentioned below (one click is sufficient to subscribe and it the rest follows automatically). All you like to cling to can be undone, and on certain pages you can disable ABP (I would not, but that is my choice). OK the list to be without the sponsored ads from Google and Yahoo can be found here: http://www.keyvan.net/2006/11/remove-ads/
Well, OK,  the Configuration Mania extension is for browser g33ks, and some knowledge should be there to know how to configure it to your likings.
But all the things you have to consider are mentioned on the page of the developer's. But there are several ways to skin a cat, so there are several extensions to do what you also can do with the configuration of the browser.

Post by: polonus on July 02, 2007, 12:06:16 AM
Hi Tech,

It does not create a cache, only a cache link. Ctrl + Shft + Del clears the cache after every browsing session, I would strongly advise our users on dial-up to use this with FF or Flock, also to use ATF-Cleaner after a browser session.
Configuration Mania is not that difficult if you dive into the info the developer gives. You have to change one of its basic default settings if you do online banking for instance, but it is thousand times easier than doing it the other way.

From my experience using Safecache on a dialup account does cause dramatic slowdowns in page loading on all sites.
If you have Stealther installed and have FF set to clear Cache etc. at close isn't this enough??

Something is paradoxical ironical here since the cache is more important for people on narrower bands.  In fact, I browse with the cache turned off at home, which makes things easier to me.

BTW, I found nobody seems to have tested any add-on on my list...does this mean everybody has better options especially about Searchwith's context menus idiot-proof tweak?  If so, I am curious.   ::)

Hi TedNelly,

My suggestion to you, on dial-up or in the future on your renowned "slow dsl" is to launch a pocket firefox or pocket flock from a usb stick, the load up of the browser may be somewhat slower but the surfing will be much faster. You should try it out and tell me if there is a difference.

I am seeing that and I doubt safecache is long for this life on my system, but I'm trying to be patient and give it a fair test.

I do have stealthier, but very rarely use it, so much so I almost forget it is available and as for the deletion of the cache on shutdown, that to would contribute to a major slowdown. In much the same way as safecache having multiple caches relating to a particular origin/page, having no cache at the start of each day I feel would be even worse.

@ polonus
I don't see how pocket firefox would make surfing faster (I don't care much about how long it takes to load), over the standard firefox. If it has the same, functionality, extensions, caches in the same way, etc. then I can see how it would be faster and if so why have standard firefox if pocket firefox is better ???
Title: Re: My Firefox Extensions
Post by: polonus on July 02, 2007, 03:08:18 PM
Hi DavidR,

It does not, because it does not save a thing, no cache, no history, etc. With the old USB sticks that was vital, with a 4GB stick it does not make so much of a difference. The fastest thing I have on my computer is a Browzar shell on a USB, but that cannot be secured in the way I want, I use it for a known site that does not render like I want in the Mozilla type browser.
Redirect remover extension, why? Read here why: http://websecurity.com.ua/1014/

Title: Re: My Firefox Extensions
Post by: DavidR on July 02, 2007, 03:23:01 PM
So same problem, no cache, slow surfing rather than "but the surfing will be much faster" as you said. The cache is an essential aid to the dial-up user not adding files to the cache won't increase surfing speed for a dial-up user the file/content still has to be downloaded to be viewed.

The fact it isn't written to a cache goes on behind the scenes and shouldn't effect the downloading of the content, just the fact when you visit the site again you have to download it again rather than retrieve it from the cache. So I can't see how surfing could be faster just because files aren't written to cache.

However, we are drifting way off-topic.

I have Google toolbar with other search mechanisms added. It's easy now, when you search a site, it is offered to add it the search mechanisms in the toolbar.

FF Problematic extensions here's the link : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions)
IE Tab > Memory leak > Solution: Uninstall IE Tab and install IE View Lite (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1429/)

FlashBlock > NoScript blocks JavaScript, which is required by FlashBlock > Solution:  Do not use both FlashBlock and NoScript together (NoScript includes Flash-blocking functionality)

Thanks tednelly. Very informative.

My suggestion ... is to launch a pocket firefox or pocket flock from a usb stick, the load up of the browser may be somewhat slower but the surfing will be much faster. You should try it out and tell me if there is a difference.
I use Portable Firefox in a USB stick and see no advantage in the browser speed... like David posted.

Hi Dan,

Why you should take down SiteAdvisor, for the same reason they would advize against scandoo.com. You know what the background is, they want to feed you all this crap unhindered and unnoticed, and it is all about loads of money. It is not the extensions, it is the users and the web site owners that making the Internet insecure, and the adsellers, and the profilers, and the spyware authors and the ugly spammers that they tug.

Not only that it is a little young at version 0.1:

Hi Tech, I had to disable the compatibility checker to get 1.0.15 to work in FF 3, but it does work.
http://www.freedrweb.com/browser/  or
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/938
For me, even the download is disabled  ::)
Instead of a live install, did you try saving the file to harddisk by right-click/Save Link As of the Add to Firefox (Adicionar a Firefox) button at the second link in Reply 72? Then install from File> Open file in Firefox, this is how I did it.
I can't right click the button... It's disabled...
That's odd. ???  Direct download link - right-click/Save Link As...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/file/18831/dr.web_anti-virus_link_checker-1.0.15-fx+mz+tb+fl.xpi

The file is only 19KB but I couldn't find a way to attach it here, and you don't have a e-mail link in your profile.

Hi Guys,

I can't say I'll contribute much to this since I only started recently to get add-ons for FF.
Here is my list:

-Better Privacy 1.24
-Download Statusbar 0.9.6.4
-NoScript 1.9.1.2

It's short but I proceed with caution. NoScript I have used for a while now and I like that it blocks some of the flash commercials and what not. Download StatusBar I use since it Automatically scans my Downloads with Avast. Better Privacy is new for me so I have no clue how exactly it behaves. I'll give it a try and see.

Cheers

1-click weather
adblock plus
downloadhelper
DownLoadThemAll!
Dr.Web anti-virus link checker
KeyScrambler
NoScript
PDP Download
RealPlayer Browser Plugin
Tab Scope
Toolbar Buttons

that's down a lot from awhile ago.

Better Privacy 1.24 is out of my Firefox. It deleted some files that had something to do with an university site. I couldn't log on anymore. The reason was that the sign in page was loading but the fields where you would enter your user name and password were gone. Tried everything I could think of. I ended up reinstalling. But I still kept Download Statusbar 0.9.6.4 and NoScript 1.9.1.2

I won't even attempt to rank them by importance.  Although I find Firefox to be perfectly usable right out of the box, each of these extensions makes Firefox an even better browser for me.  Three of them are not marked as "compatible" with Fx 3, but they still work properly.  Come to think of it, I don't use Update Channel Selector anymore.  It facilitates installing release candidates or nightly builds, but nowadays I usually create a separate installation for them instead.
