[geeky] Firefox plugins

[wispfox]

So, I have the LiveJournal Hook in firefox, which means that - because I want to be actually _using_ my icons - I've got it set to use a random icon when I post and when I comment. This means I suddenly start trying to pay better attention to which one is picked, especially since it doesn't preview icons in comments.

And it does, in fact, mean I use icons more often! (and sometimes I don't notice and use a very odd one for the context)

(In case anyone cares, I also have Dictionary Search, Forecast Fox, BugMeNot, Keyconfig (so I can make backspace not go back a page!), Ad Block, and El Jay Icon Maker. I use some more than others, but they all seemed useful enough. I can't remember the name of the extension that ladytabitha pointed to which allowed one to resize text entry boxes, so I don't have it installed...)

Hmm....

Maybe! I'm not sure if I trust that one; I can think of reasons why one might do such a thing (not making a link linkable) intentionally, so I'd want to _know_ about such.

It's very helpful for doing support stuff 'cause people always drop links in email which don't get translated to the web interface as clickable links. So this fixes that problem.

If I type http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/ then I make you have to copy/paste because it won't be a link for you (though LJ may fix that for me, I forget).

Anyway, handy for me. Less with the copy/paste stuff. :)

Yes, LJ fixes that. :)

But yes, I can see how that would be useful for you!
