The primary goal of this extension is to provide the tools needed to install and manage extensions and themes locally. To do this the extension provides multi-extension installation support, hacking capabilities to the Extension/Theme manager windows, features to find and troubleshoot Extensions/Themes Build, GUID and Profile information.

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");

• 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

• It does one thing, disables the delay when installing Extensions

Note:
This feature is included in MR Tech's Local Install 2.5.0 extension.

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.

• 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 whistles 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

I'm picking up where http://worldweather.mozdev.org/ left off.

My original code refresh took the extension from 534k, to 436k, this release has it down to 352k for a total savings of 210k.

Important: I've changed the internal ID for this extension, please uninstall any previous releases of WorldWeather and restart before installing this version!

Investigating/Planned:

• Detect offline mode to disable querying for weather
• Remembering previous weather on restarts and launching
• Status bar popup options for weather warnings, etc.
• Using icon pack instead of the default
• Get WorldWeather on apps other than Thunderbird.....
• Some special surprises....

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.
