Updating My Firefox Extensions

Just updated my Firefox Extensions list with the latest ones that I’m using at home and work.

I have finally replaced TabBrowser Extensions with Tab Mix Plus as it now does pretty much everything TBE did but so much better. It’s quicker and crashes less often… AND the most important thing – Bloglines works with it in Single Window Mode unlike TBE, which really was the turning point.

I had complained time and time again about Bloglines not working with TBE’s Popup Controller Module enabled but under Firefox 1.5 it was impossible to disable it, making Bloglines totally useless. I got fed up with having to keep changing TBE’s options to allow one site to work then changing them back again… so I uninstalled it and installed TMP instead. What a refreshing change that was. Doubt I’ll ever go back to TBE now.

The latest version of TMP (0.3 at time of writing) has added a Session Manager, so if Firefox crashes it should be able to restore the tabs you had open. About time! Very useful feature indeed. Firefox 2 now includes its own Session Manager, so you don’t need to use TMP’s version any more.
