Review: Ten Extensions Enhance Firefox

Review: Ten Extensions Enhance Firefox

Firefox is taking the world by storm. Its preview release has already chalked up more than 5,000,000 downloads. And it's even begun (albeit in a small way) to have an impact on the market share of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. Firefox is clearly off to a great start and it certainly should be-it's a great browser.

From the same crowd that  reviewed Aggreg8.

Styleselector

Mozilla Firebird Extensions

This extension adds a menu in the status bar from which you can choose between different stylesheets for a web page, assuming the page author has provided more than one. The icon next to the menu is greyed out when there are no alternate styles available.

As Firefox 1.0 has removed the alternate stylesheet selection feature, you can use this styleselector. Buit for Firebird but still works in Firefox :).

Skyzyx.com – Feed Parser

Skyzyx.com – Projects – Feed Parser

Feed Parser is an object-oriented parsing engine for syndicated news formats, written in JavaScript, that supports various the flavors of RSS and Atom 0.3. It is designed, and best suited for use in applications, written using the Mozilla Application Framework, that are in need of a parsing engine for RSS, Atom, and OPML.

Could come in handy in the next version of Aggreg8 (I keep meaning to release version 0.2 but never have the time to perfect it).
