Has anyone been playing with Ubiquity?-Perry Mowbray (July 16, 2009, 08:59 AM)
I'm surprised that no one mentioned Last Pass. Great new password management tool with extensions for both IE & FF.There was some discussion of Last Pass on the earlier FF extensions thread. That's how I learned about it, I think. I like it a lot, though I prefer RoboForm on Firefox; I find it's somewhat more easily controllable. I use Last Pass primarily for Opera, since Opera can't use RoboForm. Of course, RoboForm costs $$ whereas Last Pass is free. I suspect that if I didn't already own RoboForm, I might just decide to go with Last Pass for all my browsers.

"Go to Top", an add-on that instantly takes you to the top or bottom of a page rather than scrolling up or down.-socalguy (July 27, 2009, 02:35 PM)
Anyone using an external app link launcher alternative to Launchy?

There's probably better ways of doing it but for now this works no matter which browser I start with.With FF's OperaView extension, just right-click and select "View this Page in Opera."-MilesAhead (August 22, 2009, 02:23 PM)
No I already use FARR. What I mean is the Launchy Firefox extension. You right click in the browser and it opens another browser or another app with the selection. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with image viewers like Irfanview or XnView. It lists them as enabled, but when you right click on a link to an image you get everything else but an image viewer. It's been that way for awhile now so I don't think the author is interested in fixing it.-MilesAhead (August 21, 2009, 04:08 PM)

Do any of you know how to make Firefox stop assuming I'm too lazy to type the domain and immediately search using my default search engine?-Hirudin (August 16, 2009, 12:39 AM)
Searchbastard is the most powerful Firefox Search extension I have ever used. I do not know how I got by without it before. Here is a brief description pulled from the Mozilla addons site:
"Quickly access your search engines and powerful "Searchbastard engines", which provides search options and can clean up the search results. Group engines, and perform multisearch. The "selection search" feature allows you to quickly look up words on a page, by selecting the text and typing the engine alias. The "adressfield search" extends the firefox feature, so you can also search the groups and searchbastard engines by typing the alias followed by the searchterm in the address field. The searchbar allows you to quickly perform a search, and quickly repeat that search using another engine. Everything is extremely customizable: You can arrange the frames in a multisearch, you can assign actions to all toolbar events, etc. The plugin is lightweight, and features are dynamically loaded when needed.
I use it in conjunction with Add to Search Bar or create a search plugin with one of the following sites:
Ready2Search Search Plugin Maker (Can Use Custom Favicons for Search Plugin)
http://ready.to/search/en/
or
SearchPlugins.net Search Plugin Maker
http://www.searchplugins.net/generate.aspx
I also use a bookmarklet from https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html to convert Search fields from post to get method when needed.
The ability to search multiple engines at one time, use different engines by simply clicking an icon, and create custom search groups make this a must have extension for me!!

Regarding the subject of the thread, extensions for FF 3.5: I did update my Firefox 3.0 when the "final" 3.5.3 was launched, but removed it again and went back to 3.0, because too many extensions were broken. Far too many! Yes, 3.5 is notable faster, but other than that, all I could think of was how I was missing this and that feature.-Curt (September 12, 2009, 05:14 AM)
It's cool, among other uses, for those situations when you get a receipt for an online purchase that doesn't "save page as" properly and you don't really want to print out hard copy.-MilesAhead (September 12, 2009, 01:09 PM)
- what is "MAF"/"MAFF"??-Curt (September 13, 2009, 04:48 PM)
Instead of printing I just take a screen capture when I've ordered something online. I of course use Screenshot Captor to make this process easy.-Hirudin (September 13, 2009, 05:44 PM)
