Most popular Firefox extensions
Here are the most popular Firefox extensions ported to Netscape 8. I have made a selection from the first 30
most popular. That means I did not include extensions of which functionality is already featured in NS8 such as
ieview and TabX. Download Manager Tweak and Mouse Gestures do not work under NS8 so they could not be ported
and therefore are not included here (there are enough other). Also not included here extensions which were already
ported by their original authors, such as
FlashGot,
Forecastfox,
StumbleUpon and
SmoothWheel. For now they are in open directories, I will make something more sophisticated in the future.
There are three directories: working_fine, damaging_pt and question. Working fine says it all. Those located in damaging_pt
are unfortunately spoiling the Personal Toolbar (as shown on this screenshot) in NS8
when using the default Fusion
theme. But they are working fine with Modern Modoki theme (which is my default
theme and I highly recommend it), Winscape or
Qutescape theme. So you can use tham with one of this themes or live with the minor
graphic problem with Fusion. In the question directory are located a few extensions which "seems to be working" but I could
not found out their purpose, respectively test tham successfully and as I do not want to spend rest of my life hacking it,
you are free to test tham and give me feedback.
My favourite extensions
Here are my favourite Firefox extensions ported to Netscape 8. These extensions are IMHO
the most useful. Some of tham could be found also in the previous directories. For now they are in open directories,
I will make something more sophisticated in the future. I use tham on my computers, so they are pretty good tested
and I am pretty sure they will work fine.
Not included here extensions which were already ported by their original authors, such as
MR Tech Local Install.
