Moderators hazelnut Posted August 30, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2012 I don't use Firefox so did a bit of reading about x-marks. Doesn't seem to have very good write ups judging from these recent posts https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/reviews/ Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_B Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have been happy and dependent upon the free versions of both LastPass and XMarks for some years. XMarks has never given me grief. LastPass has never given me grief apart from a couple of days when LastPass battened down the hatches because of a suspected intrusion. I notice that no browser other than Firefox is identified in the complaints within https://addons.mozil...s-sync/reviews/ I suspect that my good fortune is due to jumping ship from Firefox to PaleMoon when Mozilla started breaking Add-ons because they chose to update like crazy and use the "common users" as Beta Tester Fodder.

Paramore971 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 My top three that I cannot live without: - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus - which going by the above, everyone is aware of - https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere HTTPSEverywhere - this extention was developed by the Eletronic Frontier Foundation and forces around 200 websites to use the secure version of the website as opposed to the unsecure version. - http://www.qfxsoftware.com/ KeyScrambler - the free version is all you need for the browser. Basically what it does is prevent keyloggers from getting your passwords, etc. A must use for anyone who does online banking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grits2 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Darn! I just installed Firefox on Sat.12/8 but after read this I'm wodering if I should have gone with Opera instead. I'm just a simple computer user so several of the posts were way ovr my head. I went with Firefox 'cuz I've read so many times that it's safer than IE even tho' I am very careful about where I go. oops, was just re-reading this when I noticed I misspelled 'over' & it wasn't caught but the last time I posted using Firefox I was thrilled about spell checking 'cuz IE didn't.

nodles Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Darn! I just installed Firefox on Sat.12/8 but after read this I'm wodering if I should have gone with Opera instead. Why? You don't need to use these extensions to use Firefox. Though some are very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted December 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2012 There's no reason why you can't have both installed grits. They each have their benefits, and sometimes it's good to just browse with something different. Most of the guys on here have more than one browser installed, so go on, bite the bullet. Have both. You'll eventually find out if you prefer one over the other, and what one can do better than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted December 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2012 Firefox's spellchecker is a consistent error for me. Even with "Check Spelling" selected, the problem is the sub menu dictionary choice occasionally unchecks itself for some reason ... ... and if you're aware of that, an occasional peek in there puts it right. Opera's is basically the same, but never unchecks itself ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 The quick reply box doesn't even present the option right now. I am, however, running Nightly, so it could be my problem.

Winapp2.ini Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 FWIW Shumway is pretty cool but doesn't handle complex applications like YouTube just yet. Handles .swf files pretty well from my limited testing. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hazelnut Posted November 25, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 25, 2014 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.

JDPower Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
