Here are my simple add-ons for the superb Mozilla Firefox browser. If you have any comments, suggestions, questions or bug reports please feel free to e-mail me at pike@pikey.me.uk.
All add-ons should now be compatible with Firefox 9, if they show as incompatible then please reinstall from the links on this page. From Firefox 10 onwards, Mozilla are planning to treat add-ons as compatible by default, this should remove the need to reinstall after each Firefox update. To be safe I'll do one last update for Firefox 10 just before it's released, after that I'll only update if something breaks.
All add-ons should now be compatible with Firefox 8, if they show as incompatible then please reinstall from the links on this page. Mozilla are planning to treat add-ons as compatible by default starting in Firefox 10, this should remove the need to reinstall after each Firefox update, in the meantime, thank you for your patience.
Bookmark Backup is a simple add-on that helps to keep your bookmarks (and optionally other Firefox settings) safe. Each time Firefox is closed, a copy of your bookmarks file will be made to a backup location. If Firefox's bookmarks become corrupted or lost, find the most recent uncorrupted backup and copy it into your profile folder.
Clones the current tab's address and history into a new window when the New Window command is used (and optionally into a new tab when the New Tab command is used).
Note: If you're looking for on demand tab duplication then the Duplicate Tab add-on might be more suitable.
Implements the Netscape Navigator 4 Create Shortcut menu item in Firefox. To create a shortcut to the current page bring up the context menu (usually done by right-clicking) and choose Create Shortcut. Selecting the menu item displays a dialog box that allows the creation of a shortcut to the current page/link on your desktop.
Note: This add-on is currently for Microsoft Windows only, see the Deskcut add-on for a cross-platform alternative.
Many add-ons that were previously on this page are now obsolete. These add-ons are still available for those using older versions of Firefox, however they are no longer supported and will not work with the latest version of Firefox.
Temporarily allows popup windows to be opened while the Caps Lock key or the Insert key is held down.
