addons Some COOL Extensions for FF and TB

[V.T. Eric Layton 6,769]

I recently added some extensions in FF and TB that are pretty cool. I thought I'd post about them here in case anyone was interested...

 

Old Default Image Style 1.0 - FF - This extension reverts back to the older style "view image" in Firefox. The newer FF centers the image on the page with a black background. In older versions, there was no centering and the image was on a plain white background page. I'm talking here about when you RIGHT click on an image on a website and choose "View Image" from the context menu.

 

Theme and Font Size Changer 5.3 - FF and/or TB - This extension allows you to change the colors, fonts, and font sizes within the FF and TB interfaces regardless of the settings of your desktop/windows manager.

 

QuickFox Notes 2.7.3 - FF and/or TB - This cool little extension adds a note pad/sticky note application to either your FF or your TB. I use it in TB for everyday "don't forget the milk and bread" type notes. It's pretty cool, I think.

 

Have FUN!

this really goest to a matter of taste thing. It annoyed me that the image goes to the upper left , centering at least horizontally i much prefer. White or black background doesn't make much diff to me. But this is my - something like this should really be in the user preferences. it would not be that hard. it is like the various browser programs are doing things to purposefully annoy people.

I actually liked the centering, just not the black background. Fortunately, this extension allows you to continue to center while reverting the background to plain white; perfect for me.

I bypass that entirely. I don't show inline images in TB.

Don’t forget these goodies too:

• Adblock Plus 2.0.3 for Thunderbird
  
• Quicktext 0.9.11.1 for Thunderbird
  
• Advanced Unread Folders 1.3
  
• Folder Pane View Switcher 1.9
  

 

And of course:

• Lightning 1.4 (which I know you already use)

With your fantastic bandwidth, I understand why you eschew image display in your browser.

Yes...did you see the annoyance errr, review posting over at Broadband/DSL Reports here about Verizon Wireless.

You could also use the Stylish plugin with this user style:

firefox 11 change image view background

Adblock Plus 2.0.3 for Thunderbird

Folder Pane View Switcher 1.9

Lightning 1.4

I highly recommend the 3 above to anyone who uses ThBird and "automatically" install the 3 of them when i put ThBird onto a system.

There are advantages to small town living. Viable, inexpensive Internet access is evidently NOT one of them.

[Guest LilBambi]

Yes, other than the issues with lack of affordable broadband, we love it here!*
