The 'Clear Fields' extension doesn't play well with the 'SearchWP' extension:
http://legege.com/en/mozilla/searchwp
Using 'Clear Fields' with 'SearchWP' will create 'SearchWP' buttons from the contents of the cleared search box. The 'Search Button' extension doesn't have this flaw.
I've moved all the comments made since I announced the death of Search Button and Web Search Plus to this thread.
If people want to list alternatives here then please do so, the information from David in comment #20 should make a good start (also see my comments #3 and #8).
could you make an extension that has a go button with left, middle, and right click functionality
OK, maybe I can live without the Search Button extension, but only if someone can answer me this question:
In FF2, how can I control what action takes place when I press Enter on the search bar? Can I configure it to search in a new background tab like Search Button allows me to configure?
Why not will be actualize the search button for new firefox?
Is there a code I can use in UserChrome.css to make Firefox search in a new background tab when I press enter in the search bar?
@Daniel
I don't know of a way to open a background tab when pressing enter (you can open a foreground tab by setting browser.search.openintab to true in about:config). It's possible that one of the tabbing extensions (e.g. Tab Mix Plus) might give you more control but I haven't tried).
@Joe
>>* Right Button: Clear Search Bar.
>>* Easier to click (more width).
>>* Search button settings.
>>* Search icon settings.
>>Please don't stop development.
I NEED these functions! Please!!
Can you teach me how to modify the Search-Icon that when I click mouse-right-button on it, can clear the Search-Input-field?
Please update Search Button for Fx 2.0+
Allowing the user to open the search result in a new window or tab as well as clearing the search box makes it superior to the default.
Thanks
Why is Session Saver marked obsolete? It seems to work fine in Firefox 2, albeit with only a couple of customizable options.
@Chris
Yes, it still works but I moved it to obsolete because Fx2 can restore your last session without an extension (go to "Tools->Options->Main->When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time").
(Blushing) Noob's question : have Firefox 1.0.smthg.
Used to have your marvellous SessionSaver with that great browser Firebird , but due to a prebllem had to start all over and must reinstall extensions.
(I do not want or need FF 2)
Can't remember : How do I install your xpi-based extensions to this Firefox 1.0.7 ?
Thanks for everything you gave us !

A lot of people don't spot that bar, so you're not alone! :)
I want Create a Shortcut function in FF 3.6 beta. I want it and need it
Prior to the 3 version, my History panel, left side was easy to control. At that time i would be able to high lite numerous sites within sites by deleting them as the scroll bar would descend. Now, in the later versions, doing that same process, I windup losing not only the days sites, but it even goes back a couple of months in one swift swoop. ...and from what i understand they are not recoverable as in the past. Can you find a way to save these history browsers? Thank you for your efforts
Your extension Popup Count would be a great boon to Fx v4.
Please reconsidering abandoning it as it is an extremely useful extension.
Thanks
