About
This section is dedicated to providing information about and support for the Mozilla Firefox extensions which I have created. Some of these have been written to request, but normally I will only produce and maintain extensions that I want to use myself, due to the amount of work involved. If you wish, you can visit my author profile at Mozilla Add-ons, the official extension site.
Extensions available:
- Context Highlight is a simple tool that allows you to highlight all instances (within a webpage) of a word, several words, or a phrase that you currently have selected.
- Context Search transforms the "Web Search for..." context item into a menu containing your Mycroft search plugins. This is very convenient, since it allows you to decide which search engine you use. Firefox's default is to use the currently selected search plugin only.
- Foobar Controls allows you to control the Foobar2000 media player from the toolbar. You can customise the order of the buttons and only use those which you need.
- Image Toolbar is a clone of one of Internet Explorer's features and provides quick and easy access to a handful of image functions in a highly customisable way.
- New Tab Homepage is a very basic extension that loads your homepage whenever you open a new tab, using either the menu item, toolbar button or keyboard shortcut.

Paste Quote inserts
[quote]tags around the clipboard contents and inserts them into any text field from the context menu. It's only real use is when you are posting to a forum and wish to make it clear that you are quoting a passage of text.
Donations
If you enjoy using my extensions and wish to contribute to the costs of hosting and development, please consider donating.
There is no obligation to do so, as my extensions will always be provided free of charge,
but any contributions will go straight to dealing with the associated costs (hosting, etc).
Please do not try to contact me at my donation email address, your mail will not be read due to the amount of spam I receive there. Instead, try the contact page.
Obsolete Extensions
These extensions are no longer maintained and are only listed here for historical purposes. Please see their individual pages for more information.
- Disable Targets For Downloads eliminates a common error incurred by many webmasters, which ultimately causes blank windows to be opened when you try to download a binary file.
- Translate Page passes the current page to Google's Translation Service and was made upon request to directly mimmick a feature of the Mozilla suite within Firefox.
