I tried using Gmail Manager, but it really messed up my gmail. Every time I would try to log into one of my gmail accounts, it would always go to the same one. I might have to try some of those extentions you have there though. Archon, what are your top 5 favorites?

Use IE View, it allows you to open a link in IE in the right click link menu.

Cash4Cookies the current version of gmail manager works great, it supports multiple accounts and it makes u log out from an account to go to another one.

My favorites are
Absolute top for web developers Web Developer. It's amazing if u ever design sites.

ReloadEvery use it all the time, just a basic page reloader. Prompts if a page contains form data so it doesn't reload something u were posting.

Google Toolbar for Firefox way better than the default search. This one also supports AJAX, so it shows the # of results instanstly as u type as well as suggestions.

AJAX Yahoo Mail excellent for people who use Yahoo Mail, adds the view msg in place function.

All In One Gestures adds mouse gesture support for firefox. Just hold right click and move ur mouse and it does what it's programmed to do. for ex, down right closes the tab, up down reloads the page.

Session Saver saves the current tabs if u close firefox, also has the undo support in case u accidentally close a tab.

Tab X adds the X to every tab.

Linkification turns text links into clickable links (like on fatwallet when people forget to linkify).

Gmail Delete Button adds a missing Delete button in gmail! (vs the drop down menu).

Search IMDB self explanatory.

Public IP no more going to www.whatismyip.com.

BUG ME NOT is the most amazing add-on ever, seriously, i have been able to read almost every news article i want because of bugmenot. hahaha i actually got it because my friend used bugmenot for uhhhh bad websites that need passwords, but then the websites got clever and started using a diffrent system. bugmenot also lets log in to almost anything on the web

Always Remember Password is another great one. It makes it so firefox can remember all your passwords, even if a site restricts it (ie, banks and stuff.) Only use if no one else uses your computer though.

I use it, becuase wamu's homepage is gay. I never really have any money in the account anyways, I don't care if someone magically sneaks in and views the last 5 digits of my account number =\

instead of ie view, you should get ie tab. it allows you to open ie inside of a tab of firefox (i think it creates some kind of ie object or something).

another good one is target alert. it adds little icons next to links so you can see if the links are pdf, doc, ppt, AIM, videos, etc just by looking at them.

How does Bug Me Not work? I have it installed, but every time I get to a page that requires registration I don't see how to actually use the extension...

25-10-2005 17:18:31

You Right-Click somewhere on the page, select Bug Me Not and it should fill in the missing fields.

That's why I use AI Roboform and the extension for it (it's actually a separate app). I use the 3DES encryption option in it for all my logins protected by a master password that nobody but me knows. It pwnz any other login extensions (it also appears in IE, logins are shared between IE and Ffox).

Or just highlight it and look at the link quickly. Less time I'm sure.

Archon, wow you've got a lot. I've got 3. That's all you really need. I saw one or 2 that might be alright, but no need really. I guess I'm more old school, haha.
