My likely Firefox 3 extensionsMy current personal version of Firefox is more than a little bit behind the times, so I've been looking at upgrading to Firefox 3 (I compile my own version with various hacks, and it's easiest to build from the bleeding edge CVS sources). As a result, I spent part of today trying various of my essential extensions to see which of them still work. Here's the current state of affairs:
Since I'm addicted to both mouse gestures and scrolling pages with the middle mouse button, I'd probably need both Grab and Drag and FireGestures to really replace AiOG. The good news is that both have been updated recently and have some degree of Firefox 3 compatibility already. I no longer care about the PrefBar extension; these days, when I want to browse without my filtering proxy I just fire up the system version of Firefox with a different configuration. (I've found it very handy for testing to have a more or less stock Firefox setup that doesn't keep any state. As a bonus, it's good for browsing random sites that want JavaScript, cookies, and so on without having to care what they're going to try to stick me with.) |
