Firefox Beta and Add-ons

[Fintan]

If you are running FF4 beta5 you may be interested in these add-ons that work:

Download helper (video)
http://www.downloadhelper.net/instal...ersion=4.8.1b1

Read it Later (one of my favorites)
http://readitlaterlist.com/blog/

Tab Mix Plus (my favorite)
http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10888

Download status bar
http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/

All I am missing now is the all in one side bar.

Hope this is useful

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

From where did you install Firefox 4 beta? Firefox daily repo?
Can you install it besides current Firefox 3.6.9, or does it replace the current Firefox install?

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

FF4.0b5:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozi...ily/ppa/ubuntu

installs to:
/usr/bin/firefox-4.0

and the default is installed to:
/home/.mozilla/firefox-4.0

pretty stable and very fast so far

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

I think I already added that ppa but all it offered was to install Firefox 3.6.10 pre...

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

If you look in the PPA you will find:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozi...u/pool/main/f/

and

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-4.0/

doing:

sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0

should work fine.

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

Installed Firefox 4.0 Beta 6 from the Daily repo now.
However, it couldn't find any updated for Tab Mix Plus and Download statusbar and thus disabled them.
I tried installing Tab Mix Plus dev build from your link, but it said it's not compatible with 4.0b6pre
Next I went to the Download statusbar page from your link, but it also said it's not compatible >
So only Adblock Plus and Flagfox work here, the entire rest got disabled because "not compatible".

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

Yes I saw that as well. That is why I didn't update. The betas are going faster than the add-on devs can follow. will wait for a while. Even though I may do the update on maveric just to test

I've posted about it on the Tab Mix Plus forum and changed back to Firefox 3 for now - which also has been upgraded to 3.6.10 from the Daily repo now. Looks like it runs fine so far, and all my add-ons work.

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

Thanks for the tip, Fintan. About 6 of my addons were disabled and no update was found...

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

i love firefox. personally i find firefox more appealing than chromium.
here is my fav add-on which has eliminated my only need to turn to chromium.

most visited sites thumbnail and bookmarks, last visited page. and search bar that has more flexibility than chrome.. and we can give whichever background we like.

Re: Firefox Beta and Add-ons

I noticed that FF 4.0 now includes Firefox Sync which would sync almost all of your browser stuff. Should I ever need xmarks ever again? Oh, I forgot FSync is NOT available for Chromium, yeah, Chromium, not Chrome, I hate it.
