thanks guys...it's kinda hard guessing popularity of extensions.

I added this to my list (based on the posts)

bbcode

quicknote

spellbound (spellchecker)

copies plain text

secure password generator

opendownload

I chose Open all the time when it was a small file and I trusted the source

glad to have this option in Firefox

removed

download tweak manager.

prettier than default one...nothing more besides open in tab or sidebar

I've updated my adblocking list, its an impressive 7.5k, but its been re-worked, removed a few redunancies, I've been testing it out, havent found any false positives.. you guys can take a look at it, see what you think.

blocked-ads-firefox.txt

and to grab adblock extension for those non-adblock users...

Adblock

Enable Obj-Tabs

Enable Collapse Blocked Elements

Enable Check Parent Links

Enable Site Blocking

and Import the said list.

I added TabX to the list of extensions. First couple of days I didn't think to much of it. I was used to just clicking the X on the right side. In a sense it just saves some mouse movement but most importantly I think for most is gives them a sense of assurance that they're closing the correct tab.

Delicious Delicacies you gotta be kidding me...amazing someone who spend time...that's hilarious.

FireFTP has great potential

I'd love to see this extension take off.

I hope someday it adds these features then I'm sold.

set # of threads

use main thread for transfer

throttle download rate

compare directories

allow drag and drop

remote custom command

bookmarks ftp sites

handle over 2GB files? (maybe it already does)

queue

sort, clear, load, save

Just revisited this thread after a few weeks. I'm now using:

Single Window (v1.4)

MiniT (v20040920.2)

Magpie (v3.1.2)

downTHEMall! (v 0.9)

Download Manager Tweak (v 0.5.2)

Adblock (v .5 d2)

Best extension site:

Extensions Mirror NL :woot:

Best Theme: still Apollo :happy:

Long filter lists can slow down the loading of the extension. This is my filter, constructed off snippets posted on the Adblock forum, along with my own modifications to keep it up to date. This thing blocks almost everything.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
