So what does this puppy do?

Adds BBCode, HTML, XHTML & Symbols formatting to the context menu for Blogs and forums (PHPBB and others).

So what does this puppy do?

CuteMenus is an extension designed for Firefox, Thunderbird and Flock, it fills in any missing icons that these programs may have in their menus, it also does the same for other extensions which add their own menu items.

Why would i want to fill in all my missing icons?

Well.... it makes menu navigation faster for some, and it also can make these programs look better.... unless you prefer the standard patch-work menus & icons.

The rewrite allows for installation on non-English locale versions of Firefox, has support for tons of extension menus and menuitems and robustly supports Thunderbird.

Static_Rage intiated the regrouping of images and revitalizing this extension and after contacting me and having me look under the hood I ended up with the current optimized version after 3 other optimization rounds. The current method used is streamlined, very simple and does not rely on Menu or Menuitem "labels" or text thus making it available to non-English applications.

Custom Hacks:

CSS snippet to hide menu icons for disabled menus/menuitems, just add the following to the userChrome.css file

/* Hide Icons for Disabled Menu & Menu Items
(MUST be placed ABOVE the @namespace entry) */
@import url("chrome://cutemenus/content/cutemenus_hide_disabled.css");

So what does this puppy do?

• Adds the following "about:" options to the Help menu:
  about:config, about:plugins, about:, about:buildconfig,
  about:cache, about:cache (Disk), about:cache (Memory),
  about:credits, about:license, about:kitchensink, about:mozilla
• Adds Alt-C as a shortcut to about:config
• Adds Alt-P as a shortcut to about:plugins

Localizations include: same as Local Install extension

So what does this puppy do?

This icon pack is specifically designed to replace the menu icons supplied by MR Tech Local Install (should work with my MR Tech About:About 2.x & Toggle Preview Pane extensions too). As a request from Frackounet (French locale translator) I looked into this. He submitted all the images properly named and I just figured folks might want to do the same for other iconed themes.

Use this extension to create your own icon pack and email them to me, thanks.

This extension only works with 1.5 or newer builds of Firefox, Thunderbird and Flock.

So what does this puppy do?

• Wraps long links to spare you from having to scroll left and right. This is basically a very modded and severely hacked version of the bookmarklet code that's out there. Thanks goes out to Recall for waiting for me to release this.

Note: Link Wrapper will force Linkification to only highlight part of a text link, version 1.2.2 of Linkification adds a "Thorough Mode" which is disabled by default that will resolve this, or you can just double-click on the unhighlighted text on the right of the text from a link to have it open properly.

The latest version 2.0 brings more options and easier ways to troubleshoot issues, for folks who don't want all the bells and will the trimmed down version is available via Link Wrapper Lite which can be downloaded here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2547/ Here are some features:

Statusbar notification of: enabled, disabled, character limit reached or blacklisted sites

Clicking statusbar icon will yield opposite of current setting, so you can effectively:
* turn wrapping off and only click it when you need it temporarily or
* leave it on and when you want to see a sight in long line mode just click it and it will display as-is temporarily or
* if enabled and you hit either the character limit or blacklist you can click it to temporarily allow link wrapping.

Draggable statusbar icon to any position you want on the statusbar

Option to hide statusbar icon and hide tools menu "options" menu item

Full customization of all current hidden settings

Full option dialog with all the bells and whistles, export, import, reset preferences

Increased default character limit to 30k characters

2.1 Release Notes:

Added: cs-CZ, fi-FI, nl-NL, pt-PT, sk-SK & zh-TW locale translations

Added: "blog.myspace.com" & "webmail.aol.com" have been added to the exclude list of domains (please reset preference to default for future updates)

Updated: "mail.google.com" is now "google.com" as Google appears to handle long lines/links well on their own

Updated: Character limit checking is now disabled by default, if you experience performance problems on older computers, re-enable this

Updated: Bumped Netscape version support to 8.1.2, bumped SeaMonkey version support to 1.5a

2.0.4 Release Notes:

Added: On major updates (like this) that include fixes to tags, sites or character limits, now resetting all "link_wrapper" preferences to make sure that the current defaults are used. This will only be triggered on major upgrades and will only reset once, so you can change settings back if needed (options/settings panel planned for Link Wrapper 2.0).

Updated: Changed default character wrapping from 45 characters to 15 for smoother wrapping of long links.

Updated: Increased character limit or size of page to 15,000 characters from 10,000, this helps with performance by not parsing pages with more than 15,000 characters, etc. "link_wrapper.charLimit" is now 15000, to disable this feature and have Link Wrapper parse all pages just set "link_wrapper.charLimitEnabled" to false

Updated: Now supports newer Firefox 2.0 & 3.0 dev builds

Fixed: A Firefox development change between March 8th and March 10th rendered Link Wrapper unusable with test builds, this is now fixed.

1.1 Release Notes:

Added two hidden preferences to have Link Wrapper bail out without parsing on pages with a lot of characters. This will dramatically increase page rendering performance for larger pages. Default character value is 10,000 with a preference to disable the feature.

Enable page character limit to improve performance on large pages: link_wrapper.charLimitEnabled, default value is true

If enabled use this character limit: link_wrapper.charLimit, default value is 10000

Original Release News:
I couldn't take it anymore, I missed this extension, so I hacked, optimized and fixed WorldWeather and now supports TB 1.5/1.6 builds.

I changed the code to actually only have one set of graphics, the large ones and then have TB scale them down using CSS, based on the option selected, this and my original code refresh took the extension from 534k, to 436k, the latest release has it down to 313k. ;)

I've also recoded the internal code to allow for easier switching and calls between the functions, more to do here though.
