I've just noticed ABP will automagically correct typos in some URLS (eg. Faacebook.com to Facebook.com)

Shumway

Shumway is an HTML5 technology experiment that explores building a faithful and efficient renderer for the SWF file format without native code assistance.

I didn't enable it. It asked if I'd want it enabled some time ago when I mistyped some URL.

Thing is there are malicious websites that use a mistyped URL to snag unsuspecting users.

I can handle those. :)

FWIW Shumway is pretty cool but doesn't handle complex applications like YouTube just yet. Handles .swf files pretty well from my limited testing.

Honey!

Honey automatically finds the best coupon codes and gives you the best savings

Basically it drops a button on the checkout page of a bunch of retailers that, when you click it, starts automatically putting in coupon codes into the box in hopes of finding you a discount.

Oneliner:

I just installed it. Thanks! :) With my multirow bookmarks I need the space. Does your comment mean that it's going to slow me down quite a bit?

I knew that I should have stayed out of this thread. FireFox is going to be at a crawl here in a few minutes. ;)

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox, Chrome, and Opera extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure.

See the address of the website you are on

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipvfox/

IPvFox provides a panel listing the hosts from which the current page and its resources were loaded. The icon indicates whether the loads occurred over IPv4 or IPv6.

Unlike related extensions ShowIP and SixOrNot, this shows the actual remote addresses for each connection, rather than a DNS lookup on the page’s domain name.

Anyone got any tried and tested alternatives to Flash Video Downloader? I love the addon, and it works great, but I've become increasingly distrusting of the level of adware coded into it (just look at the contents of the ad_signs.txt and suspiciously titled superfish_titles.txt files in it's extension folder)

How about this one?

Try changing the ES language code in the URL to anything else. I can't do it. It resets back to ES.

Thanks Pusher, somehow missed that when searching the Mozilla site and works almost identically to FVD (and has no sign of anything dodgy in it, unlike FVD, just a couple of presumably sponsored links in the menu)

I have been using it for a long time and I haven't noticed any ill effects.
