Firefox --3.5-- Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

Hirudin:
Thanks mwang! I've installed it, I'll play with it for a while and report back...

Initial impression: it seems to work like I want, sweet!

Innuendo:
Web bugs and tracking services. Those small, invisible things on web pages that report back to The Man what you're viewing, what you're reading, and what you're doing.

I hate them with a passion as does everyone who values their privacy. In my quest to combat these evil things I have discovered Ghostery. It's a Firefox extension that makes you aware of over 210 different web bugs & tracking services that may be on the web sites you visit and gives you the ability to block them if you wish.

Launchy ...
... if I right click on the link, I don't get any graphics viewers in the list.  Just video players.  -MilesAhead (August 23, 2009, 01:30 PM)

Both these links (to one and the same picture #Edited: one to the actual photo, and the other to the page containing the (link to the) photo#) should make Launchy suggest XnView etcetera,: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2528/3884282440_c13bc94a1a_o.jpg

At least it will in my setup (FF 3.0). But of course, I only installed Launchy today, so I don't know yet if it will loose its wits when I install something new. Will Launchy get "repaired" if you re-install it?
 :tellme:

MilesAhead:
The only thing that gets fixed by reinstall, is it will actually use apps in the list.  IOW, if I add a graphics viewer after Launchy is installed, it won't use it no way nohow no matter how I configure it.  It has to be there when Launchy is installed and autoconfigured by Launchy.  Even then, it won't work with the graphics links.  Guess I'll have to live with it unless I want to explore the morass of Windows clipboard handling myself. I don't look forward to messing with other than text afa that goes. :) Maybe if I found an AutoIt3 UDF where all the tough stuff is already done. :)

Curt:
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.
