My Reviews

Clean Links

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I'm not an expert, so 5 stars because it works, fine and obstructively. Just made me find out I had had a nested bookmark for ages! That's for the smile (it wasn't vicious) but I am realizing at the same time the implications with nasty obfuscated links. Good find.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.1-signed.1-signed). 

CS Lite

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I don't know if, as stated, it' OK with Firefox 5.0.*, but here with Firefox 4.01 it is KO : flat!
Needs updating more than simply manipulating the install.rdf: code here & now is obsolete.
Please be as so kind as to not specify max versions when obviously outdated.

Extended Link Properties + (obsolete)

Excellent, most valuable.

Readability

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Readability, the first, the authentic, the best, other similar extensions are pale imitations, never as quality layout as Readability -- Glad to have Readability back, on Firefox 4. Works like a charm it is.

Memory Fox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Jackpot! I had left aside 'Memory Fox' because there were, regarding my system, several issues which got me to a lack of hope :) Came back to try (desperately!) a last time and... bingo! I've been using this version 5.2 for 2 days now and it runs great. afom.exe 'resident' seems to be the solution indeed. I can now have very long Firefox sessions with NO issue, RAM is perfectly handled. Even after hours of browsing exit does not lead with what you can enconter with traditional RAM utilities (swapping leading to slow display etc.). This is brilliant. Sorry for having doubted :)

Memory Fox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Memory Fox 3.5 definitely better. Works fine, low cpu and yet afom.exe more aggressive. A great new path for this exceptional add-on.

@FutureFr : some people have the same behavior as idiots, though they are not. Consequently should we avoid calling them idiots, in the same way as scoring one star as you do ?

WorldIP - Geo Add-on with Security Features

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I'm getting it back. Need the information, and this add-on is the best of its category (what we need is reliable data, right?).
I call upon the author to keep this little gem on the go with upcoming versions of Firefox. I just can't stand it when most valuable add-ons disappear with time: please do keep this excellent work on :)

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.2). 

timeanddate.com - World Clock Search

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Latest version 20100812 (=> 'View all versions' below) works just fine. With a click find out local time, weather and more on the pages of timeanddate.com, aesthetic and informative. I really like that site, it offers tons of information related to time and space in an easy to navigate and understand way.

Memory Fox

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Memory Fox version 2.4 - In Mode 1 (Memory Fox NOT in system tray) afom.exe does not exit properly when Firefox is closed, or rather it exits randomly (most of the time it sticks in RAM). This, here, since versions after 1.4.9
Otherwise, the best memory enhancer for Firefox, works beautifully.

NetVideoHunter

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Please update in consideration of Youtube modifications !
NetVideoHunter works very well everywhere except Youtube since Google decided (one of their regular crisis) to modify Youtube code (mama mia, I'm starting to move off towards Dailymotion by the way).
Otherwise, the best on-line video downloader for Firefox, IMO.

Memory Fox

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Loud and clear : Memory Fox 1.4.1 is now OK :)
Nice to see that RAM go down with no loss of performance.
Thank you, IDEVFH !

Memory Fox

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Same problem as mentioned by other users for this 'Memory Fox 1.4'.
@ REVerdi > neither. All has been tried here, afom.exe just won't run....

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4). 

Session Manager

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have 76 active extensions. I was asked should I keep but five, which should i keep. 'Session Manager' is in the list. Well thought, functional, smart, a real pleasure. I have a neighbor who comes sometimes to surf here, and keeping his pages when I decide to kick him out is a real pleasure :)

Readability

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Readability 0.2 now has all the functions of the bookmarklet with the advantages of an extension: change styles on the fly as you like it (if you please!).
Readability is *really* worth, both for clarity and against eye-stress. An everyday companion to surfing pleasure :)

Readability

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I've been using the Readability bookmarklet for some time (even got a toolbar fashioned out for it), so this extension, when fully developed, will be welcome. The bookmarklet has these advantages at this time, 1- background color is light on the eyes (sand-camel) and font type/size can be choses before building the bookmarklet (http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/)

WikiLook

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One word : gorgeous. Both in its functionality and aesthetically. I appreciate non-English words being handled as well. Slick, fast, now when I hesitate on a meaning I'm almost happy :)

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.5.5). 

Screengrab 1.0

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes it does: two different add-ons with same name, as here. There is already a Screengrab (version 0.96.2) so why not chose another name for Screengrab 1.0 ? This is a pain. Anyway, ScreenGrab (0.96.2) works fine on Firefox 3.5.4, so I see no reason to change.
Three stars is neutral.

YesScript

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I'm not using YesScript on security issues (handled in a system-wide way), but on cosmetic/speed issues, when I encounter a few sites which are really to stubborn with ads, stats and you name it : YesScript is here exactly what I need. I've abandoned NoScript after a few months, far too in my way.

DownThemAll!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Like the other 31,010,848 at this time (a lot for what some consider as crap) I've been using this little gem since always. Lightweight, handy, well-thought, I don't see why I would bother with a 3MB downloader when this extension has the highest ratio speed/weight I know. It's just great.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.5).
