Firefox! You complete me!

[amireal]

As promised, my mega long list of firefox extensions. A note, the way any person's browser is customized really depends on how they use it, what they use it for and what they're most comfortable with. I have a desktop and a laptop and you'll find several of these extensions sort of relate to keeping each other up to date. Etc

Mmmm, I just tried AutoCopy and said that it's not compatible with v. 3.

Anyway, thank you so much for this list.

OOps. That's another one you need to register with mozilla for before it'll appear. You're welcome!

[titti]

Yep, I just saw the other versions. *g*

You know to multiple LJ accounts was to just have one for FireFox and one in Opera. It actually works quite well for me, because then it keeps my fandom stuff away from my non-fandom stuff and prevents chaos all over my desktop.

Just don't ask about the bitch it is to get Flash working in both FF and Opera for Linux.

[amireal]

I can totally understand that, but I have multiple FANNISH LJs *G* oh to be a mod. And using two browsers just started to piss me off after a while. ljlogin always tells me who I'm logged in as, so it's pretty good at keeping separate.

Everyone has their own system. Whatever floats your boat.

Amusingly, I was wondering why I didn't have IE View installed, because I love that extension. Odd, but whatever. I went to install it. Guess what Linux doesn't have. *facepalm*

That and my mangled first sentence above should give you an idea of how sick I was yesterday.

You have amazing timing - I just switched over to firefox and was looking for a word counter, and now I have one - thank you!!

[amireal]

\o/! There's at least 2 other FF3 extensionaganzas out there, I can find 'em if you like.

[bluflamingo]

Thanks, that's really nice of you.

interesting that you describe using scrapbook like read it later! I use scrapbook for Serious HardDrive Storage of everything I want to keep - fic, recipes, anything I might want later which might have vanished when I need it. I should have set it up to save on my webspace even, because I was doing it locally, and now that my laptop is in the shop, obviously I have not saved the stories I read since then, which sucks. hmmm.

one I use that you might lie: infolister. Produces a lis of all the plugins, addons, greasemonkey scripts that you have installed. Useful for this kind of entries! or to share updated version regularly.

See when I nabbed scrapbook it was just before a trip when I was going to have v.v. limited wifi for several days, so I wanted to store up. I'd never really gotten into storing online content offline like that, but I can see how it would be a really good long term solution while read it later is a really good short term solution (with an offline setting which is nice even in the short term).

Hmm-- but I can do that from addon (in firefox) these days, but I'll check it out, see if it adds functionality.

similar-ish to scrapbook but organised a little differently, there's also Zotero -oriented for an academic target at first, I think, but useful for many other people.

Well, now you have tempted me. I always wanted to try Colorful Tabs, but it keeps saying that it is not compatible with Tab Mix Plus, so I always avoided it. But if you have both, then maybe I can give it a whirl.
