Tuxman:
Waterfox' homepage is pretty much useless, all I need is this.  :P

(I would never trust a website like firefox64bit.com! No real "contact", no author information, ...)

Curt:
After two weeks with Waterfox I am pleased with this setup:

@Curt: Yes, thanks. That was the version I had/have.

-no, IainB, your Extension List Dumper reports version 6.0.4, but mine is 6.0.4.9000. But of course my Waterfox is merely version 12, not 13. Furthermore I don't remember if my Mr Tech came from the homepage or where-ever.

Here it is:  - not the same as the homepage version.
EDITED: File removed due to serious bug!

Thanks @Curt!
I had noticed the difference but had thought the .9000 was probably a minor version that I had already played with (though I had forgotten which versions I had tried, and I had no audit trail).
I must apologise for thinking of trying it out but being disinclined to do so as I had already invested more than enough time in fruitless mucking-about with different Mr Tech installs quite some time back.
Anyway, I followed that link - http://mrte.ch/toolkit and am delighted to report that it seems to work a treat - so far on my setup (Win 7-64 Home Premium, FF v13.0).    :Thmbsup:

Thanks again!

PS: What do we know about the soure of that .9000 install? It came rather anonymously from a shortened link.
By the way, the link shortener is http://mrte.ch/ and comes from "Mr Tech", but I don't know any more than that.

Some Asian guy, SnakeDoctor4509, no further details.

WARNING re MrTech Toolkit v6.0.4.9000 differences.
I had a minor panic today when I went to check through my Greasemonkey scripts - they weren't there any more!    :o
Actually, they were still there, but you just couldn't see/touch them whilst MrTech was enabled. (Phew!)

Otherwise when enabled, this add-on seems to work well so far, with these noticeable differences in FF to when it is disabled/enabled:
Disabled:

* FF has the standard grey jigsaw-piece Manage Add-ons button, which brings up the Add-ons page in a tab (which is what I want and how I have things set).
* The Add-ons page shows:
* 1. Get Add-ons
* 2. Extensions
* 3. Appearane
* 4. Plugins
* 5. User Scripts

Enabled:

* FF has the standard grey jigsaw-piece Manage Add-ons button, which brings up the Add-ons in a separate pseudo-Firefox window, with some additional buttons. It has a good UI, but it overrides how I had things set up - I want the Add-ons page brought up in a tab.
* Has a green green jigsaw-piece Manage Add-ons button which conveniently lists all the add-ons by icon and name in a small popup menu, so you can just select the one you want to examine.
* The Add-ons page shows:
* 1. Get Add-ons
* 2. Extensions
* 3. Appearane
* 4. Plugins

I have MrTech disabled now, and will enable it as and when I need it.
A lot of the MrTech functionality seems to have been implemented in FF now anyway, but MrTech sometimes seems to do what it does in a nicer and more informative UI.
