pf » Have a good firefox extension idea?

hi, i really would like an extension that packages up the extensions on one computer so they can be emailed to myself and easily installed on another computer. i find myself putting firefox on every new computer i sit at (2 or 3 times a year), and it's not a trivial task remembering the cool extensions you've found, and relocating them. Is this doable? i would be much obliged!! t

Make an extension that uses 404 etc error pages instead of the alert box which can get really annoying. Cheers

I would like to see an extension that minimizes the tab to the status bar of the current window, and that tab can detach and moved around or just put in the background.

ability to transfer RSS feed streight from the little orange buton in firefox to my Newsreader in Thunderbird.

I currently have to bookmark the RSS feed, select propertys, copy the feed address and then paste it into thunderbird newsreader.

what a pain!

I would like a completely customizable ticker. This ticker would look and work like a stock ticker. However, this ticker would include sports scores, weather information, Headline news, and so on.

The person should be able to select how often each item appears either by its self or per category. For example Packer scores every 3 rotations or Sports scores every 2 rotations.

There should also be an option to set a window for when an item shows up. Sports scores Fri-Sun and Stocks Mon-Fri.

The person should also be able to select where this will appear.

Overall, the possibilities are endless for this universal ticker.

Integrate msn messenger into a sidebar and have chats in a tab.

mix the address bar and search bar into one and put that onto the tabs

i have been hoping for an MSN messenger integration extension for some time. As i'm pretty busy with uni and coursework i havent even been able to start thinking about learning how this could be done. Hope someone read this like shawns sugestion and has more skill than myself!

I'd love an extension when you right-click a picture,you can set it as your msn messenger buddy icon.

A fully Functional MSN Messenger extension. I always have FF open and i like the idea of running other programs through it to save some memory. MSN would be a good place to start, then you could intergrate YIM and AIM, maybe even Gtalk and ICQ

I agree.....but what about even a Trillian style extension that would allow for use of MSN Messenger, as well as Yahoo, AIM, or even Google Talk (which is currently not featured in Trillian)?

How about a chatzilla style extension that supports MSN, AIM, YIM, etc?

Google talk is in Trillain Pro 3.1. It works via jabber plugin.

Need an MSN forums extention to access the picture galleries in the groups because firefox won't let you use the normal editor with them.

Gaim sidebar, similar to the Skype sidebar already available.

Yeah, I would definatly love to see and AIM (and/or other instant messengers) integration, something like Netscape's.

I would benefit greatly from an extension that simulated other browsers, especially mac specific browsers; similar to the IE tab. or an extension that allowed the venkman debugger extension to work in the IE tab. that would be better than sliced bread...

It would be even better if you included AIM, ICQ, GTalk, YIM, MSN, and other messengers, plus added abilities such as talk.

Yup a messenger plug in is really a gr8 idea... and trillian would be gr8 I was also wondering if media players especially video ones could be put in a space in firefox like the sidebar or something so if u want to watch a video while surfing the web, and if u're really attahced u double click and it goes full screen, doble click again and it's back in the side with your web page, kind of like the real player browser... but with firefox it'll be revolutionary... and how about a song bird plug in, also in the sidebar... then firefox will be the only software one would need :D

I vote for a multi protocol instant messenger too. Chatzilla style. Also I reckon you should build an operating system extension then I won't need Windows. Also an extension for my brain so that I can plug it in to firefox and not have to tap on my keyboard. Should be easy now come on get to work!

Multi-protocol IM seems to be the way to go... Perhaps it could "plug-in" to an existing online multi-protocol messenger such as meebo.com (or something different even), that way you don't have to develop the protocol code, just the interface between firefox and the website

I would love to have an extension that makes Firefox load in full screen automatically when started. The extension can also have a disable option that can be accessed from the "Tools" menu.

I would like to see a sports score extension that actually works or an extensive ticker that shows news, sports, stocks, etc. that is totally customizable. The Sportsfox extension doesn't work very well and the ESPN Bottomline isn't available for Firefox 2.

Adding meebo to in a sidebar is great if I want to lose 20% of my page but I just don't use it enough. What I would like is something to ring or ding or dong (ok maybe not dong) when I have an incoming IM in my FF tab. I can have 6-8 tabs open and when someone starts talking to me in the meebo tab...the top of the tab just blinks...many times I have not sen it flickering until 5-10 minutes later. All of the other IM let you know when someone is talking to you and meebo only does IF you are engaged directly on that tab...

Any ideas?

If you're still looking for a sports extension, take a look at the RUWT? toolbar.

Not only will it give you scores and headlines, but it uses algorithms to hunt for exciting games like a no-hitter through 7, or a team getting upset, or a playoff game going to double overtime.

It would be nice to have an extension to add photos directly to iphoto like Safari.

hi,,,

i am a great fan of tennis and auto racing. i saw that ruwt toolbar has auto racing but there is no extension for tennis....

hoping you could do something about that

thanks alot

infact there is no addon for tennis .... i feel.....searched the whole web

I'd really like to have an add-on that allows me to access my MSN Instant Messenger :P

...and D: I'm annoyed that I can't use Hotmail -_- please contact my E-mail address, all you need is @hotmail.com from what I have now D:

Yes, please create a multiple IM protocol extension. Maybe you could try to integrate Pidgin.

you should make a addon that allows a user to have a side bar with there chat form aim, msn, yahoo, gooletalk and what ever else crazy im services they use. It would look just like the history bar does but have the chat and freinds all in one. maybe have a tab or one on top of the other. you make it I'll use it

I'd like to see an extension which can show you the odds on various sporting events at lots of different bookmakers, so I can choose where's best to bet on a selected event.

Hey,

A couple of ideas:

- I have a 22" wide screen, and it would be handy to open 2 pages at the same time next to each other without having to open a new firefox. EG:http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/4686/splitscreen2ii7.jpg

- Second idea is simple, just when you are copying a .png with some trasparency file from the internet you have to save it to you computer for it to have the transparent background... so i guess a plugin that allows you to "Rightclick" > "copy .png with transparent background"

Thanks, Tom

I would like to see a bookmark extension that would allow me to delete a bookmark by right clicking a tab and selecting "delete bookmark". I have hundreds of bookmarks and this would make housekeeping very easy.
