Browser Backgrounds
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
I Want give 3 and 1/2 but this site does not do halves, I cannot give it 4..so 3 it is.
Lets not fool each other "Bing" and "G Mail WITH "Google Search" have got their versions.
With Bing its the default and the pictures change everyday, and Bing chooses the pictures.
With Google you can assign you own picture, but you must be logged in to your G Mail account, for your picture to be visible.
I feel 50.50 about this add-on, Let me make this perfectly clear you would have to be a "ADDRESS BAR" searcher to get the full benefit of this add-on.............EXAMPLE you are use to or you don't mind typing your searches in the address bar...............
currently there is NO SEARCH ENGINE BOX option available within the pictures.
My main problem thou is there doesn't appear to be a way of telling the software to ALWAYS USE THIS PICTURE. ( If people want a slideshow, fair enough, but shouldn't there be a option box..??)
IMHO The software program needs a bit more work, but its future looks good very good, just think of mothers with their new baby pictures, football fans, pop fans, movie fans cars etc etc etc, ( As described in the "Browser Backgrounds" notes, its like having your desktop pictures in your browser.)
But the developer would need people to adopt searching in the address bar as the norm, ( But they could try to add a search box option in the picture, If the stats support this)
IMHO ( Again ) the developer needs to address these issue's, as for me well I haven't uninstalled it, but I have disabled it in the add-ons, I guess that is 50/50...............
.............and who knows next month I might have it fully enabled and then give it a full months test........!
Yours Thomas J

To the developer Andy Halford my apologies, I have followed your suggestion and re read the documentation guide here
http://www.andyhalford.com/checkplaces/index.html
I also acknowledge that "These reviews are not the right place for support requests" .I shall be E-Mailing you directly to apologize officially.
But I feel I should put a apology here as well, so other readers can see my original mistake and apology to it.
As for a actual review I would recommend this add-on to any Firefox reader, but please don't make my mistake read the software guide in full first which can be found here......

I am confused how do you know which duplicate to delete......?Example Folder 1.....5 Star Hotels Folder 2.....Hotels With Private BeachesFolder 3.....Hotels I Stayed At.The dupilcate is in all 3, I want to delete the one in Folder 1.....But the software does not compare or even tell you which one is stored where.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.6.0).To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
