General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

hmm... maybe all language page versions are not similar to the Danish one - I merely removed "dk".
The video-link may be http://proxy-45.dail...923097f95a638600ae2c
or you could try http://openvideo.dai...is-remi-gaillard_fun , but it is nowhere as convincing.

Edited:
I think it is because I updated my Firefox today, so the page I was given is not the same you would be re-directed to. "Congratulations, you do now have the latest & safest Firefox" or so.

I am impressed with the new video feature in Firefox 3.5, demonstrated via http://www.mozilla.c...efox/3.5.4/whatsnew/ especially since it does not take any extensions to perform (so why am I posting it here?)!

- I *think* the misunderstanding started when someone said that OfficeTab doesn't work in 2002 and I could see quite clearly that it does work in XP - hence XP must be different from 2002. But as with everything wrong, the explanation is not all sound logic. My apology for the nonsense.

Mr Tech Toolkit is for Mozilla not merely for Firefox. It will not >override all compatibility checking< but will 'try' to make the extension useable for your version. And usually does.

* Sometimes has trouble detecting when Firefox tabs are no longer open (when grabbing URLs).
* Fairly RAM intensive.
* Has a built in web browser but the browser does not have any sort of direct link (for adding bookmarks) to the bookmark portion of the program so what is the point of the browser?
* Lacking any sort of password protection feature.
* Can’t find some features the developer claims to have included such as “creates thumbnail images of your favorite websites” or the “drop basket”.
* No Help file (local or remote).

Your experience is a nice surprise to me! ;-)

Developed by a German computer magazine, primarily for German users ... well then.
(You English speaking people do expect that we all have to know English, too, so what? 

The program coding is in English, so why stop there? Just as we in Denmark also learns German, so does the Germans also learn English, if you know what I mean.

They are implemented as modules, single script files that can be loaded dynamically. Not actually "built into it".

Thank you for the answer.

Other than that, it certainly is buggy.
Maybe it is an east versus west issue?

- thanks for the answer. Meanwhile I've realized that one merely should follow the bugtracker link http://activaid.rumb.../index/proj2?lang=en in order to come to a useful forum.

So, the latest stable version is 1.3.1, and the real homepage seems to be www.heise.de/ct/activaid which at the moment will re-direct you to the all German http://www.heise.de/...c-tivAid-284115.html  ("weitergedacht" = thought/taken further), where the stable version of the program can be found, with or without installer.

If you find bugs in a stable version, please first check the latest beta version before you report the bug!

--

In general, International user-friendliness is not the project's strongest side, it seems. But what about a simple link to all these extensions 'we' are talking about? I haven't found any! Are they all build into the program from scratch? Do I need to install the program in order to figure out what it can do? No, I must have missed to see the obvious. I must have gotten myself confused by all these German words. Please direct me to all the extensions this very thread itself is all about!

Will ac'tivAid ever come out of the BETA age? I know he is calling the new version for "1.3.2", but it is still called an "Entwicklerversion", a beta-version, only this time it is beta version number 17. Is it STABLE?

The new homepage is in German only. What then about the program; is it still in both German and English, or has it also gone back to German only?

The offer is back, and again as a time limited offer. Maybe I should have told about it 'ages' ago, as the offer will expire in a few days; October 31, but I didn't, because it is only the firewall that is offered with 'life-time' license, and for your sake I was  w a i t i n g  and hoping for the Security Suite. The Suite is actually also on offer, but it is not a fantastic offer.
