QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very good addon with very dedicate developer(s). I had the display issue with TB 10 (as described in https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24643) and found that it was corrected in less than a day. Good job

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.9.4). 

Account Colors

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Very good addon. Focus on which account you are using. (color in folder list makes it easier to identify accounts).
Have an issue with it as (on Thunderbird/Shredder 3.3a4 on windows) the status bar text disappears. Hovering a link on a email does not show the result in the status bar (also folder info from the Nostalgy addon does not show).
From the review of HekMek, (where he mentions no text on hovering buttons) this might not be just due to Shredder.

Good work nonetheless

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.3). 

Thunderbird Conversations

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very good extension that has made a great leap on 2.0alpha. However the use of Conversation view disables addons that change the header (like Display Mail User Agent and Display Conctact Photo).
Could be interesting to work correctly with them (the display contact photo could be used to put the photo on the current avatar pic).
All the best

This is definitively a must for thunderbird. Well done

OptimizeGoogle

Thank you for the update. Was using ff 4pre8 and terribly missing this addon.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.78.2). 

Nostalgy

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One of the greatest time savers.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.2.23). 

LaTeX It!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very good addon. Had a problem when installing in Windows 64 bit. But it was related to convert and ghostscript. The solution is here http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15056&p=52937&hilit=gswin32c#p52945
(I used the 64b versions of both)

Superb theme. Everything thought of

Silvermel

Clean, splendid without being too "loud". Redesigns many bits of firefox (thunderbird version is also a must).

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.0_b3). 

CookieSafe

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The slowdown of firefox seems to be related with the hostperm.1 size. A parsing issue??? See http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=132456 for a discussion. The new CookieSafe Lite stated before http://forum.softwareblaze.com/viewtopic.php?p=501 seems to mitigate the problem from Spybot, thus perhaps has an optimized parsing.
I found this addon useful to see the status of the privacy for the current site, change it and even clear the cookies. The slowdown is in fact a problem.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.6). 

Expression Search / GMailUI

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This a great extension and I have been eagerly waiting for its update to tb 2.0b.

Having said that...

There seems to be some conflict with Quickfile https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/348

When both extensions are enabled:
- some menus' text disappear (File does not appear, nor its sub-menus)
- shortcuts keys are changed (doing CTRL-A instead of selecting all deletes the current message; other shortcuts (R) do the same deletion).

I'm using several IMAP accounts, and this behaviour happens on them.


GmailUI is 0.6
QuickFile is 0.17.0.0011
Thunderbird 2.0b2 on Windows XP

Again thanks for a great extension
