Tips, Toys, and Temptations for Firefox, Livejournal and Gmail (Summer 2009)

[wanderlustlover]

It's been over a year since my last one of these and I've fallen in love with a handful of programmable bits since then, so I thought it was time for an update.

Smart to warn you guys that it's a plethora of Firefox, which will then be followed with some things which are more related to Livejournal regardless of the Firefox. Let me also warn you

I am currently adding a bunch of the Firefox stuff now. Yay for new browser toys.

I have replaced LJ Hook with LJAddons, which does everything Hook used to do, including right-click insets (invaluable for RP when you need unusual text or anything, also for pink sparkly!) but also - and I think you'll approve of this one - adds a tiny cross to any LJ cut, which you can then click to have the contents of the cut unfold on your friends list without leaving the page.

I love never having to leave my page.

It also adds thread unfolders and the like, and promises all sorts of things to do with "pattern marking" and stuff, but I haven't bothered with those - I mostly just love the right-click inserts and the inline cut-text/comments/everything opening.

Ummm. I have the little plus thing form one of the Greasemonkey things. I know I had LJ Addon for the longest time (a year at least), but I can't really remember exactly what it was the made me remove it. There was something.

I love page not moving. *cuddles*

Whoa, great list! I really need to figure out Greasemonkey. =/

Here are a few other FF extensions:

Ghostery: tells you which apps a webpage is using to cookie or otherwise track you. I just found this one and <3 it
