Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful
Curt:
The current problems with >Google versus WinPrivacy< made me go searching for VTzilla. It was a little hard to find at first, because I knew the name "VirusTotal" but forgot the abbreviation "VT", so I kept imagining the word "virus" being part of the file name. I repeatedly found some Italian VirusTotal extensions, but not the right one. The right one, (if you're not Italian), is VTzilla, now "signed": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vtzilla/
VTzilla 1.5.1-signed
by Emiliano MartÃnez Contreras
Right-click on any link and scan the target with VirusTotal, scan your downloads with VirusTotal before storing them in your PC, free and easy.

From DC Forum: Re: Transfer all opened tabs in browser to a txt file
^^ Yes, OneTab would be brilliant for this and other browsing information capture purposes. I have been trialing it for a couple of weeks, and it's very nifty. :Thmbsup:

It also minimises memory usage and noticeably speeds up one's browsing in Firefox.

I agree. I like how it adds the scan button to the download/open dialog. Sometimes it takes an extra click to get it to download after a scan but I can live with that. :Thmbsup:

Making use of OneTab.
The uses/functionality of this Add-on are described in the notes on the OneTab Add-on page. However, some further potential use might not be so obvious.
Two examples of how to make use of that further potential:
* You need to have the Scrapbook Add-on installed.
* You need to have the Quickfox Addon installed.
* You need to have Firefox Sync running to sync bookmarks at least.
1. Scrapbook:
You can save a OneTab page as-is at any point in time to a Scrapbook folder.
2. QuickFox:
Look to the upper RHS of a OneTab page, and you will see a link to Export / Import URLs. Clicking on that link opens up a new Tab that shows two sub-panes, "Import URLs", and "Export URLs".
Select all the text within the "Export URLs", right click it, and send it as a New Note in Quickfox. That saves it as a new note in your bookmarks (it's not a bookmark though, but just a note). Sync will then sync that note so that you or anyone else (can be shared with a collaborative group) who has access to your Synced items account can open that note in QuickFox in Firefox.
(The notes on the OneTab Add-on page indicate that this kind of functionality may eventually be built-in to OneTab.)
_____________________________
Other examples: If you had these Add-ons/applications installed, you could also select all the text within the "Export URLs", right click it, and send/copy it:
* as copied text to CHS (Clipboard Help & Spell). :Thmbsup:
* as selected text to the Scrapbook Add-on. :Thmbsup:
* as selected text to WizNote (can be shared with a collaborative group). :Thmbsup:
* as copied text to Wezinc. :Thmbsup:
* as selected text to Zotero (can be shared with a collaborative group). :Thmbsup:

huh, it seems onetab won't work for me no way no how (FF40.0.2 portable).
it seems to install ok, but no controls or menus are exposed so if it is there I can't interact with it.
Tried disabling ALL addins, changing to the default appearance, etc, and no go :(
sure would like to recover some resources...
