Slashdot Mirror

every page I visit seems to increases the Working Set by a couple of megs of ram.

Yeah, it used to do that for me. But nightly builds solve the problem just fine. The Moox 1.0 build also works fine. If you don't like those solutions though, there's also the slashfix extension.

Grab the Kiosk extension from extensionsmirror.nl.

Or you could go to Tools > Options > Privacy > Clear all (under Windows).

A quick google did give me this. (I haven't tested it though.)

I guess that basic features ought to be supported in the main installation, but I've never really needed my mail programs to redirect mail, since the mail servers I use have builtin redirect.

here they are:

Adblock
Session Saver
Web Developer
IE View
Target Alert

I understand your point, being that the developers should incorporate that into the original design, but there are more than one extensions that allow the program to be able to do this. I believe this is, in part, because they are trying to keep the basic/core of the brower small and minimized, and then allowing users to select, download, and install only the extra extensions and options that they want. Why include a dozen different options like different RSS readers, stock tickers, built-in weather conditions, GMail notifier, etc. which only a minority of people will use when it will just complicate things and make the download size larger.

Keeping the file size down will not only attract those who still use dial-up, but also those who use dial-up, in most cases, have slower computers who do not have the extra RAM to spare for the extra features they don't want.

The Extensions Mirror (at http://extensionsmirror.nl/) has over 400 extensions for Firefox 1.0 compared to the 184 that Mozilla Update hosts, as well as themes and also extensions for Thunderbird.

Every extension you could probably desire for Firefox are out there; you just need to know where to look.

With the (what seems to be) ease of creating, and the popularity of extensions for Firefox, is it really the developer's responsibility to create and implement all of the features and extras that are desired, or wouldn't it be more pertinent to have the main developers focusing on the core of the browser, its security, or other related aspects and leave the rest to the enthusiastic aspiring coders out there?

Firefox Extensions is the place for you. I'm presuming you have actually noticed that middle-clicking links makes them open in tabs instead of their requested target?

The two things you asked for are:
1) Tab Links (possibly Single Window, but this may be overkill).
2) Session Saver.

There are many more extensions there, so have a cruise round sometime and see what is on offer. Some of them, like AdBlock and FlashClick make browsing the web such a nice experience.

Try flashblock: http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic =45.

At least two of the above points can be currently achieved through the proper extensions:

Remember what tabs I was reading (and my place in those tabs) so if Mozilla crashes or I close it, I can go back to where I was instantly.

Session Saver

Add an HTML verifier to Mozilla. Let me choose an option from the menu, and Mozilla will verify the HTML of the page I'm viewing.

Web Developer Toolbar (includes many other useful tools)

Hope this has been helpful!

Yes, there is an extention that does this, I use it all the time. It's called SessionSaver. For some reason it's hard to track down the version that works with firefox 1.0, but I've gotten it from:
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic =166

Try this extension. basics It mimics the mozilla method.

Done for Firefox Here!

The old version of session saver works fine for me in Firefox 1.0. It did need repackaging (to bump maxversion to 1.0) and you can get the repackaged version at The Extensions Mirror, which is a great site for getting the latest extensions (some of which are not up to date on update.mozilla.org).

Somebody else probably agrees with you. Check the Thunderbird Extensions section of The Extensions Mirror and see if there's anything in there you might be able to use.

try miniT and session saver

Well, you can download my extension from the popular extensionsmirror.nl site too, not sure how much vetting they actually do of extensions, but if one was known to be spyware or a trojan I'm pretty sure they'd take it down or at least warn you.

And you are welcome to inspect the contents of the XPI - it's just a renamed ZIP file. And the JAR in there is also a ZIP file by another name. The actual code (other than some RDF packaging stuff) is about 15 lines of Javascript that even a novice can probably follow, which does one thing and one thing only (reflow after page load while surfing on Slashdot.org). No, no spyware or trojans in there.

http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic =1351 is a better list

I remember reading about how they were NOT going to implement minimize to tray becuase not all of the platforms thunderbird runs on have a system tray.
But hey that's what extensions are for

most extensions will work with 1.0 without much change. if you dont want to change it yourself, goto http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showforum =2 for repacked extentions that will work with 1.0

what advertisement?

Looking on bugzilla.mozilla.org found bug 2920; from there got a link to this extension. Havn't tried it, but sounds like it should work.

Might be something you want to look at.

Session Saver.

Beware of the Tabbrowser extensions. Featurewise *everything* you'll ever need for tabbed browsing. But caused major performance and stability problems, not only for me ...

Bye egghat.

Another useful link "Updating extensions, using old ones on new builds" HTH, too (it did for me :)

Check out the thread devoted to Rebuilding TBE's featureset with other plugins at the mozillazine forums.

There are links to various small tab extensions so you can pick and choose the functionality you want.
This gives you only the features that you actually want without having to put up with the full Tabbrowser Extensions performance hit.

I use MiniT to give me drag and drop, all bookmarks in new tabs, and the order of focus, and BlankLast to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser

Tabbrowser Preferences

yeah it's three extensions instead of 1 but seems to work better for me.. anyway.

i need a text file of addresses just to keep track of all the latest download sites for these extensions! arg.

TBE was good, but it got really bloated IMHO. i use Session Saver and miniT at the mo'. (both working in the new release). does what i need alright.

HTH.

the zoom thing there are many extensions availeble that do similar things but none do the exact same so partially agreed.

Tabs - Where have you been? please use the software first before you criticize it.

INNOVATIVE - Most software is like this, what makes a certain software (such as mozilla/ff) is the fact that it combines all of these.

Plus the main thing would be extensability.

TabBrowser extensions are massively bloated, and the number of options is bewildering, even to an experienced user. It is best to use some of the smaller extensions writtent to duplicate the functions you need.

For opening new window link in new tabs, use Single Window

I also use rue's rewritten implementation of Pike's Session Saver for the recovery of tabs after a crash (only happened once in recent memory, but useful still), and disable all the other features as they annoy me. This version is repackaged for 0.9

The last extension I use to do with tabs (don't think it was in TBE, but essential for me still) is Flowing Tabs, which shrinks the sizes of the tabs to the title text if it is short (otherwise keeps them default size), and continues many tabs onto a second or third and so forth line rather than shrinking them until you can't see what's written.

Extension is a very simple addon to the context menu that provide you with the following:

* Opens all links in a selection in new tabs or windows
* Finds and opens link in plain text in a new tab or window
* Opens all links on page in new tabs or windows, etc.

The Jumplink extension allows you to skip through redirect links and jump directly to the target link

...because i'm running ff0.9 w/ adblock right now and it works like a charm.

;just because it isn't on the extensions download site, doesn't mean it doesn work. if you had looked it up, you may have found that many others are using Adblock 0.5 d2 nightly 39 without any problems....
