[OPEN CASTING CALL] Post your critical Firefox-only Extensions

Unread post by New Tobin Paradigm » 2021-04-06, 07:28

As mentioned in viewtopic.php?f=46&t=26516 Firefox Extensions are coming to a swift end on April 27th of 2021.

Here is the deal, I want you to post your most critical Firefox Extensions so that those interested can consider forking them.

NOW THERE ARE SPECIAL RULES FOR THIS THREAD SO READ CAREFULLY!

Rule 1: Read all the previous posts before you post so that there isn't a bunch of duplication. Multiple pseudo-votes by listing the same thing over and over again is meaningless.

Rule 2: Please only provide the most most important ones not an entire list of all your extensions or all your Firefox extensions disabled or not.

Rule 3: Please attempt to find out if they are Jetpack (Add-ons SDK) by looking for package.json or harness-options.json in the XPI file and if they are then DO NOT LIST THEM.

Rule 4: Please try and omit any extensions that are designed to access, extend, or modify a specific site. Service extensions are very difficult to maintain in this day and age.

Rule 5: Please include a Classic Add-ons Archive url for them. Example: Speed Dial - caa:addon/speed-dial

Rule 6: Please no side discussion about the extension, how important it is to you, or how unfair or monstrous we are as well as any offers to pay money. You can do that elsewhere on the forum.

Got it? GO!

Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus (caa:addon/elemhidehelper) is critical for me. This is what I missed when I migrated from uBlock to Adblock Latitude. I'd prefer if someone does the forking, or collaborate me with the fork.

(Original message because I didn't read the instructions properly:)
I plan to fork these before 29.2 releases:
  • About Startup - caa:addon/about-startup (already finished forking this, just awaiting permission from the author before submitting to the add-ons repo)
  • Chrome List - caa:addon/chrome-list (I asked the author first if they are willing to provide support for Pale Moon, they refused.)
  • Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus - caa:addon/elemhidehelper (This is probably going to be the toughest one, due to being restartless and having its own build system)
The first one is not really a dealbreaker. The second is pretty helpful while I'm working on add-ons. The third is very important to me, this is something I missed when I migrated from uBlock to Adblock Latitude.

RefControl (caa:addon/refcontrol) would really be the only Firefox-only extension I have in use
Such is life.

only enabled extensions, marked "not designed for pale moon". The first in constant use, the second ... I hope it works, but gives no visible sign, maybe just vestigial
  • Expire history by days caa:addon/expire-history-by-days
  • Google search link fix caa:addon/google-search-link-fix (I think it is jetpack whatever that is, judging from the xpi name but has no incriminated json)

These two are absolutely necessary for me:
  • CacheToggle - caa:addon/cachetoggle
  • Copy Plain Text 2 - caa:addon/copy-plain-text-2
With these, it would be nice if I could keep using them:
  • FLST (Firefox 4+) - caa:addon/fww-flst
  • Form History Control - caa:addon/form-history-control
  • GoogAlexa (Of course, only Alexa is important) - caa:addon/googalexa
  • Menu Icons Plus - caa:addon/menu-icons-plus

Ok let me interject here palem.. Video Downloaders are by definition service based and in a mostly MSE world they aren't useful or in general entirely legal. Yes you are a confirmed criminal. VideoDownloadHelper its self doesn't even properly function in Pale Moon last I checked AND it is Jetpack.

VPN/Proxy types are service extension as is Shortly URL Shortener.

Add to Search Bar doesn't actually function in Pale Moon properly either.

You have TWO Google translate extensions of course we have one for Pale Moon already.

EPUBReader has a custom license that ONLY allows it to be used on applications or services offered by Mozilla and only allows private modifications and NEVER distribution of those changes.

You are a failure as a Pale Moon user. You should just pack up and leave now like you have already threatened to. I am very disappointed that you listed all these ignoring explicit instructions.

Places Cleaner - I don't have CAA installed, but here is the github link for the extension: https://github.com/irvin/placescleaner

That already targets Pale Moon albeit Pale Moon 26. No clue if it still works.. May want to contact the developer somehow. They have this set as their em:homepageURL https://launchpad.net/cookiekeeper

To everyone, please don't include extensions you have disabled or is busted. We want lists of actively used critical extensions so there might be some additional options come the end of the month for some.

Add to Search Bar works fine for me.
ImTranslator caa:addon/imtranslator (is the only translator left that works Inline) I dislike the one on APMO

With that said:
Add-ons Manager Context Menu caa:addon/am-context
Bookmarks Checker - caa:addon/bookmarks-checker
Cleanest Addon Manager caa:addon/cam
Clean Uninstall caa:addon/clean-uninstall (Targets PM but needs to be on APMO)
Google Shortcuts caa:addon/google-shortcuts-all-google-se
More Tools Menu caa:addon/more-tools-menu
Places Maintenance caa:addon/places-maintenance
Search on Engine Change caa:addon/search-on-engine-change
Sort and Search Customization Dialogs caa:addon/sortcustomizationdialog
SQLite Manager caa:addon/sqlite-manager
Undo Bookmarks Menu caa:addon/undo-bookmarks-menu
xclear caa:addon/xclear

Forecastfox (fix version) caa:addon/forecastfox-fix-version (Targets PM but needs to be fixed)
I'm still using it.

Also Cookie Keeper works fine for me.

  • KeeFox - caa:addon/keefox (only works 100% as intended in Basilisk, but login form picking seems further improved in WebExtension only version)
  • ColorfulTabs - caa:addon/colorfultabs (version 23.9.1 is the last that works as intended with PM, newer are better suited for Australis interface)
These are simpler:
  • Navigational Sounds - caa:addon/navigational-sounds
  • Bypass Forced Download - caa:addon/bypass-forced-download
