Coo, look at all those Extensions...

[sbisson]

Firefox extensions are very useful indeed - adding lots of extra functions to the browser. They're often small, quick to install, and simple to use. I've got a lot installed, and use FEBE to backup and manage them all. It also produces a formatted list of what you've installed so far.

After I ran today's extension backup, I took the list, tidied it up a little, and stuck it behind a cut tag...

Here's a nice long list of all the Firefox extensions I use (with some links).

I've also added a quick star rating, and a review/description

The link you gave for Interclue needs a pwd...

Hi Natalief, that's because we're still nominally in closed beta. We'll probably go into open beta in about a week. The addon is now more or less ready for primetime, it's been more the business and marketing and documentation side of things (read, the bits none of us are really any good at), that's been keeping us from releasing it lately. Simon's been beta testing it for us, it's great that he rates it as one of his top 3 extensions! We've put a lot of hard work into Interclue, and we intend to keep on doing so.

Ah hah!

Hi Natalief, - just to let you know, we're open to the public now. Check it out at interclue.com

Cool. I don't use Firefox any more, though, and the browser that I do use (Camino, Mac) does not seem to be on the list for signing up for email info.

We *might* go after Camino, but no guarantees. Interclue is mostly comprised of javascript (600k+ of it when uncompressed) so it doesn't rely on the XUL platform the way most firefox addons do (Camino doesn't use XUL). We might add another category - "others", for people to be notified if we launch our addon for camino, maxthon, avant, etc (It already works in Flock, or did when we last tested it)

Cheers,
Seth.
