Add-ons for New Version of Firefox 21

Posted on by

Every time Firefox releases a major upgrade, we love it because it comes with lots of cool features. At the mean time, we hate it because lots of our favorite add-ons are not working with the new Firefox. Sometimes, the owners of the add-ons might be too busy, and it might take a while to release a compatible version. That’s why I put some of my favorite add-ons here. They are 100% compatible with the new Firefox, and I only modified the source codes that by-pass the version compatibly check.

In the other words, the add-on will work the way it was in the old version, and you will receive an upgrade if the owner releases a newer version.

So far I have made the following add-ons available in the latest version of Firefox:

Add-On Download Comment Author’s URL
BandWidthTester 0.5.9 Download Not tested N.A

If you need any add-on, please post in the comment below. I will try to make it available here.

Enjoy your new Firefox!

CopyPlainText Add-On for Firefox 3.5+

Posted on by

CopyPlainText is one of my favorite Firefox add-ons because it can filter out all of the formatting and leave the text alone. It is an amazing tool especially when editing non plain-text editor such as Microsoft Word etc.

After I upgrade to Firefox 3.5, I found that this add-on is no longer available. Therefore, I created my work-around version here. No functionality has been changed, except it works fine in Firefox 3.5+ 🙂

BlockSite Add-On for Firefox 3.5+

Please visit here if you are looking for BlockSite for Firefox 4.0.

Thanks!

I love using BlockSite along with AdBlock Plus to filter the unwanted content in my Firefox. However, after upgrading to Firefox 3.5, I found that the BlockSite is no longer supported in this version. After waiting for a month, I found that the new supported version is not available, and therefore I created my own version.

Here you are, and enjoy it!

Classic del.icio.us Add-On for Firefox 3

Posted on by

If you are looking for the classic del.icio.us to work on Firefox 3, then you are on the right page.

Download del.icio.us classic

Background

Why del.icio.us. classic add-on doesn’t work in Firefox 3?

The add-on was developed for Firefox 2, which is not compatible with Firefox 3. Since this add-on is no longer maintained by the original author, this add-on becomes an orphan. In fact, del.icio.us encourages users to upgrade to the modern version. Some users like me prefer to stick with the classic version.

Why del.icio.us classic, not modern?

Well, there are couple reasons, privacy and security. The classic version only uploads your public bookmark (The one you want to share), however the modern version will upload both your local and public bookmarks. Since I care about my privacy and security, I don’t want to see my personal information floating around the web at all.

Running del.icio.us Classic on Firefox 3

If you want to run the classic version on Firefox 3, you will need to download the add-on from the following link:
