Two handy FireFox extensions

Two handy FireFox extensions 03/06/2004 02:01 AM

Just a quick plug for a couple of FireFox extensions I've been digging recently. Chris Pederick's Web Developer toolbar / menu extension combines ideas from a whole bunch of other extensions and bookmarklets in to one extremely useful whole. The usual assortment of validation and element outlining options are present, but the really useful tools are "View Cookie Information" and "View Response Headers". I've used separate extensions for these before but it's handy to have them all in one package.

The second is something which really should be built in to every browser: Clear HTTP Auth, which lets you log out of HTTP authenticated sites without having to close all your browser windows.

I was surprised to read posts from David Weinberger and Dan Gillmor today asking about functionality they wanted from a Firefox extension. My favorite Firefox extension, Tabbrowser Extensions, does 98%+ of what they want (sorry David, no back massages). I decided that if tech gurus like those didn't know about Tabbrowser Extensions, others might not as well, and it was worth expanding briefly on the comment I left on David's site. Tabbrowser Extensions allows you to customize how Firefox works as a tabbed browser. Want clicking on a link to open a new tab instead of a new window? Or want clicking on a link that takes you to another site to open a new window, but a link that takes you elsewhere on the same site to open a new tab? Want a little X on every tab? With Tabbrowser extensions, you can customize your browsing experience to have any permutation of tabbed browsing imaginable, and I have. Tabbrowser Extensions also gives you a little button on the toolbar that you can click to see a list of all open tabs of that instance of Firefox, and you can jump to the tab you want. You can also save the list of tabs, and click on that saved list to bring them back up. Ever close a tab by mistake? Incredibly usefully, Tabbrowser Extensions has an Undo Closed Tabs button you can put on your toolbar that will drop down a list of your most recent closed tabs. Click on the one you didn't mean to close and it will reload the page. I wouldn't use FireFox without it. It that makes me a geek, so be it. I will say that I recently installed it on my mother's computer, and she loves Tabbrowser Extensions as well. It does mean that when I use Firefox, I generally have one or two instances of it open, each with 20 or so tabs :-). I am still on FireFox 0.93, waiting for all my extensions to be updated, and Tabbrowser Extensions works perfectly on 0.93. I don't know what the situation is with 1.0 PR. P.S. One of the reasons that people may not have heard of Tabbrowser Extensions is that early in its history, the code overwrote some of the Firefox code, which made the Firefox developers unhappy with it. Also, for reasons I don't know, the extension isn't listed...

The Mozilla Foundation's Firefox browser is without a doubt an open source software success story. One of its strengths is the active development community that works to expand and improve the browser's functionality through the development of Firefox extensions -- small applications that add functionality to Firefox. Here are a few of my favorite extensions, all tested with Firefox 1.0.1 on Windows XP and Mandrakelinux.

Firefox 0.9x has some great new
extensions that make it worth the pain
of upgrading 08/12/2004 04:39 AM
I'm a cautious upgrader, always happy to learn from the experiences of others, and let them take the first arrows. I've been a Firefox user for over a year now, since it was called Phoenix, and my experience has been that the Firefox team is aggressive about releasing software at the same time as they are making deep changes to it. Also, they are not as solicitous of extension writers and users as I would like, as I've publicly tangled horns with Ben Goodger about in the past. As a result, and because I use Firefox as my main browser, I've been cautious about each upgrade of Firefox, and have been happily chugging along for months with Firebird 0.7 on the my desktop machine, and Firefox 0.8 on my laptop. Even the older versions of Firefox/Firebird are much better and safer browsers than Internet Explorer. Three weeks ago I finally upgraded to Firefox 0.92, and this week I upgraded to Firefox 0.93. While I did run into a few snags getting my data over to the new profiles, it was worth it. Firefox 0.9x is considerably faster than the earlier versions of Firefox. It feels snappy, like I have to hurry to keep up with it. And there are some really nice new extensions that are only available for Firefox 0.9+ that add significantly more functionality than was possible before. My favorites include: Slogger, an awesome (although strangely named -- how about SuperSaver?) extension written by Ken Schutte that allows one to keep a log of the sites that you have visited, and save the pages as you go along. It is like having Furl built into your browser. All I need is to do is find a full text indexing and searching program (more on that later, but suggestions welcome), and I'll be able to get rid of Surfsaver and MyBase, two formerly useful programs I purchased whose authors seem to be stuck in "Internet Explorer only" land. Sage, an improved version of the already good Firefox RSS Reader Panel. Sage is a very good RSS reader under active development that runs inside Firefox. It supports custom stylesheets, and Technorati and Feedster search engine integration. It suits my reading style a lot better than Nick Bradbury's well-reviewed Feed Demon that I beta tested, and unlike Feed Demon, it is open source -- anyone can improve on it. I wonder...
