My Reviews

Restartless Restart

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Completely broken as of Firefox 44, and the author isn't responding to support requests. She's dead, Jim.

Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Excellent, indispensable add-on, but the key mappings need to override any existing shortcut keys defined on a page. On Twitter, for example, pressing "N" to narrow selection instead opens the new tweet window.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.3.1-signed). 

Image Zoom

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The showStatus option is a good start, but ideally, full compatibility with Status-4-Evar should be the goal. I'd like to be able to see what exactly Image Zoom has done with my images -- I just don't want to see it indefinitely until I restart Firefox.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.2.1-signed.1-signed).  This user has a previous review of this add-on.

Image Zoom

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Just swinging by to second circcc's review. Until this is resolved, I'll be disabling updates for Image Zoom and reverting to v0.4.6.

Thumbnail Zoom Plus

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A fantastic update to Thumbnail Zoom. Five minutes in, I already couldn't imagine going back. In the future, though, can we get more frequent updates? Not all of us like to run add-ons that haven't been approved by Mozilla, and this had to be one of the most extended minor version betas in the history of betas. When your add-on's platform has more frequent releases than your add-on itself, you know it's time to ease up a little on testing. ;)

Thumbnail Zoom Plus

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

For some reason, this extension includes a (long since fixed) bug I reported last year in the original Thumbnail Zoom -- the zoom panel doesn't respect the user's page zoom setting. I browse at 200% zoom on my TV using "NoSquint", and because Thumbnail Zoom Plus displays images 1:1, they often appear smaller than the original thumbnail. When this issue is resolved, I'll gladly upgrade my rating to five stars!

Is It Compatible?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Not a huge fan of the new location of the compatibility data, but I'm going to assume it was changed to accommodate future versions of Firefox. In any case, add-on now works once again as expected; therefore, five stars for you, sir.

Is It Compatible?

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This add-on, while technically "compatible" with the versions in question (in the sense that it still does what it says on the tin), causes Firefox to freeze for several seconds when the Add-ons Manager is opened in v6 and above. I'll gladly upgrade my rating to five stars when this is resolved.

Stylish-Custom_OLD

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Good stuff, but the very idea that an extension is necessary to fix another extension that had most of these features in the first place is nothing short of laughable. Speak to the developer of Stylish, ChoGGi, and see if he'll merge your contributions into the main distribution; if not, consider releasing a full-fledged Stylish replacement of your own. Clearly, you have a far better understanding of what Stylish users want than he does.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.8).
