[Yhslug] using linky firefox extension

[Kevin Cole]

Since at least one of us has been in an extension-sharing mood
in recent days...  I thought I'd chime in with a chorus of "a
few of my favorite things". Some of the extensions I've found
useful:
__________________________________________________________________

For Firefox:

sage:  A better RSS Feed handler than Firefox's built-in
       Live Bookmarks.  (Using Sage's export/import feature,
       you can easily share your favorite feeds with others.)

mozex: Among other things, allows you to use the editor of
       your choice when working with web form entry fields.
       This is really great when editing wiki pages.  Naturally
       my preference for this extension is setup to use the
       One True Editor ;-)

Web Developer: If you do your own web pages (or want to
       learn how someone else has done theirs), just get it.
       VERY featureful.

wmlbrowser: Occasionally, one stumbles across a page that
       can only be viewed from a mobile device... unless you
       have something like this which displays WML (Wireless
       Markup Language).

Full Fullscreen: Guess what it does. ;-)  (Goes beyond what
       F11 will do for you.)

Less exciting but handy are ReminderFox, ForecastFox and
ChatZilla, which pretty much do what their names suggest: A
pop-up reminder, a weather forecaster, and an IRC client.

For those of you not using rsync to synchronize your computers,
Google's Browser Sync extension looks promising.  And Gmail
Notifier's handy as well.

Last but not least, the incredible time-waster: StumbleUpon,
which randomly directs you toward fun web pages, and learns your
preferences for what you consider "fun".
__________________________________________________________________

For Thunderbird:

enigmail: A must-have for making GPG handy to use.

Mail Redirect: "Bounces" mail rather than forwarding it.

Mnenhy: An ugly name for a very featureful extension that allows
    you to design your own custom headers, and decide which headers
    to display on a regular basis. Also handles x-faces headers.

Display MUA: (Actually "Display Mail User Agent Extension" puts
    an icon into messages you read, indicating which mail program
    the sender used.
__________________________________________________________________

If any of those sound like your cup of tea, and you have trouble
finding the ones you want, send me e-mail and I can provide more
details, but I think most of them were obtained directly from
Mozilla's web site.
