Works fine, but old games keep loading when firefox opens – an option to delete old games is needed.

Try clicking the close button (little x in a box on the right hand side of the bar). This should kill the game. ~T.

You know, this is just a simply brilliant addon. It works perfectly, and is stylish and doesn’t try to do too much.
The only thing I would suggest is to make the “four”, “six” and wicket titles bold, so they get more attention. Apart from that, great work!!

Thanks for your feedback! I will look into implementing your suggestion. ~T.

Thanks OnyxRaven, I’ll look to implement those suggestions in the Fx3 release.

Comment on How to access the Mozilla add-ons sandbox by ttechnotes

“simply is not there,”

Yeah this entry is now outdated. Mozilla now lists sandboxed addons as being “experimental”.

Search for the checkbox on a page that lists all the addons that lets you show experimental addons. You may need to register and log in for this.

Oh – and, i’m on FF3 RC1 on MacOSX and it seems to work swimmingly.

Not bad – I’d like to see:
- an indication that the shortened url is available in the clipboard (or an option to get a popup input with it inside)
- an indication of which url shortener is default (I think it’s backwards right now), maybe as the icon in the statusbar or in the context menu
- an indication that when you rightclick a link vs rightclick a page area which url you’re shortening (see the other tinyurl extension)
- option to unshorten urls using pattern matching and a preview service (like preview.tinyurl.com, or peek.snurl.com)

Though I like Firefox and Thunderbird, I generally have found MozillaZine to work poorly over the years, and the current iteration is no exception. On 5 April 2008, I was blocked from downloading an addon that is in the alleged sandbox because I had not enabled access to the sandbox. I clicked around until I was at my account profile edit page. No mention of sandbox. Later I located this blog entry (“How to access the Mozilla add-ons sandbox”) and revisited my account profile edit page. The “Show sandbox” checkbox option depicted in step 4 simply is not there, though all the other depicted fields are. I also tried loading my profile in an alternate browser. No dice. Annoying!!!

Unfortunately I use Safari, but I’ll keep this in mind if I ever switch back to a Seamonkey based browser.
