this feature?

I don't use a lot - just the Auto Copy, Image Zoom and MR Tech Local Install extensions.

Auto Copy, so I can copy text to the clipboard just by highlighting it (no need to press Ctrl+C).

Image Zoom, so Thunderbird will reduce the size of images to fit the message view pane. Without it, you have to scroll around a lot for large images.

MR Tech Local Install so I can force extensions to ignore the maxversion setting in the .xpi file, if necessary. Useful for when you upgrade either Firefox or Thunderbird and your extensions suddenly stop working - you can force them to work. Or at least try to work. I had to use that to get Image Zoom working in Thunderbird 2.0, although I think it's not necessary any more with the most recent version of Image Copy.

- ozz

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

ok, I've been playing this for a few minutes and heres some of what i've thought:

1) It possible to communicate with your parter, just type what you want to say to them, as a lable, then, if they check their past images to see what their partner labled stuff as, they'll see your response.

2) Google needs to inform players, if their partner navigates away from the page. I've had several times when the other person has completely disapeared, and nothing happens. You eventually just give up and go back to the start. Google should pop up a message saying "Your partner has closed, or navigated away from this page. Do you wish to start anew?"

3) A limited communication system would be really nice. Anyone played Windows Checkers online? You can't chat to each other, but you can send responces like "good move", :), :(, oops, ect ect. It would be awesome if they would include something like this, so you could put stuff like
"I can't see anything"
"picture too small"
"look closer"
"are you still there?"
"do you want to pass?"
"yes"
"no"
":)"
":("
"hard"
"easy"

ect. You get the idea.

4) The pass system really is broken, heres what i've been doing: I tried Firefox and Opera, Firefox had bugs and Opera didn't work for me at all. So far i've had the best luck using the site, with IE (eww). If you your partner wants to pass, wait about 5 or 10 seconds before clicking pass. If you click too soon, it seems to get crossed wires and then you get the hanging effect.

5) If you can get Firefox to work, get the image zoom plugin.

6) Checking what lables your partner used, gives you a better idea about what they look at, and what they focus on. This makes it slightly easier to get matches.

7) Try and list objects in the picture, text, people (be they man, women, group, couple, ect), machines (car, vehicle), buildings (type, color, part of building), environment (water, trees, outside, inside, night, daytime) ect.

it should be a lot more fun once they get all the bugs ironed out :)

Firefox's ImageZoom extension helps with the smaller images.

It's not quite what you were asking for but I use the Image Zoom plugin for firefox and it lets you right click on any image and blow it up. This has advantages and drawbacks over Opera's zoom, but for me it's better than Opera's zoom.

http://www.yellowgorilla.net/imagezoom/ Allows you to zoom an image in/out/reset.

For GIFs, use AniDisable. It allows you to switch the animations on and off with an option on the right-click menu. (It's almost on-the-fly...it has to reload the page after enabling the animations.)

And while you're at it, grab Image Zoom to allow you to enlarge and shrink images.
