If you check the website for magic password generator, you'll find a bookmarklet and a form that are browser- and os-agnostic, that comes up with the same passwords the plugin does.

In case no one noticed, Freshmeat moronically updated / bastardized their site now so that ALL urls are hidden behind a hash. As a result, you can no longer know where the hell a link really directs you to until clicked. fe: "http://freshmeat.net/urls/52692380db3fefd95cbb43ba03774133" which is fucking retarded. I understand the shortening of links and such from services like these, but I don't appreciate the data mining and link tracking game everyone seems to be engaged in. If you want users to have shorter URLs to your blog, USE BETTER SOFTWARE. There is no logical reason to embed session information in a URL that is used outside of said session -- the ends do NOT justify the means because as with Freshmeat, I simply blacklist the site and be done with it. I have a rule in karmablocker (http://trac.arantius.com/wiki/Extensions/KarmaBlocker) for URL's exceeding 80 characters, for exactly this reason.

tiny menu
compact menu 2 is also firefox 3a0.5 compatible and slightly smaller.

for anyone else thats fed up of this guy - this greasemonkey script shows the actual tinyurl destination in the tooltip when you hover over it.

and if you dont want to run greasemonkey directly - convert it into a standalone firefox extension

DownThemAll! 0.9.9.7 - can download all files from page (both links and directly embeddeded) with settable filter, custom renaming and all other features you'd expect form download accelerator

Image Zoom 0.2.7 - zooming images (and only images) - i found it very needed for high-dpi displays, or where the OS-specific zoom-tool isn't enough.

MR Tech Local Install 5.3.2.3 - nice tool for managing extensions - can make any older extension compatible on one click (simple change of required firefox version), also can generate installed extension list like this one you're reading now, either in text, HTML or BBcode

Remove It Permanently 1.0.6.3 - more useful version of NukeIt - shows you what content is actually being removed in red outline, can remove parent widget of what you're hovering over, or 'all similar items', on per-page,per-domain,per-website basis;useful for pages heavily infested with ads

Tiny Menu 1.4.2 - the whole menu is compacted to one button 'Menu' which you can drag on your address toolbar (it's actually the other way round), saving needed screen space

Unread Tabs 0.3 - shows opened-but-yet-unread tabs with Italics

And here it is

Allow me to specify a set of web sites I NEVER want to results for.
Allow me to specify that I never want to see another damn .doc or .pdf file again.

You could add those to Google yourself with relatively simple Javascript (Greasemonkey, userjs, etc). Just append "-site:example.com -filetype:pdf" to each query.

DON'T HIDE THE GOD DAMN DELETE FEATURE UNDER A MENU!

Here's a Greasemonkey script to add a delete button.

How about it could come with an integrated tool that stops other toolbars from being installed? That'd be fantastic then I could just put it on my family's computers and not worry about them installing more tool bars, or any software for that matter!

I thought there was an option to disable BHOs in the latest Internet Explorer running on XP? In any case, Internet Explorer 7 will have a "safe mode". I don't think this is Google's problem to solve.

Integrate a clock, people like clocks!

Everyone has a clock.
