actually, if you happen to know the status of the ones on my list from the first page of this thread, that would be most of my pressing questions answered... i have more but i could probably get by without them, if necessary. i would have to check. |
Well, some of them, at least:
Update available. Works fine here.
Don't know. Haven't used ColorZilla in a while, and MeasureIt at all.
I do that through the W3C validator links in Web Developer
Update available. Works here.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I use Dict for that. Should be possible to find a French dict server.

Don't know.
There's a 1.20b2 beta available from the getfirebug site that works. 1.05 doesn't.
I prefer the open source FileZilla application, so I looked at FireFTP but passed.

There's a new version out I haven't seen? I loved this, but it broke in FF
2, and I haven't run it in a long time. I like the ability to define my own prefixes and suffixes.
There's an 8.0.x version out that runs fine.

Don't know. If I really need to see something using the Trident rendering engine, I use IE (or possibly Maxthon). I almost never do.

Don't know. Looked at all of them, but run none of them at the moment.
One things you should do: grab a copy of Mel Reyes Local Toolkit, which I mentioned in my own list earlier of favorite extensions. Among other things, it will let you turn off compatibility checking when you install an extension, so FF will install it regardless. There's no guarantee the extension will work correctly, but many will. As mentioned, the extension install file has minimum and maximum version fields that specify what the oldest and newst versions of FF they will work with are. New FF versions get released but the extension developer hasn't done a versionbump in the install file, so FF says "incompatible" and won't install it. Bypass the check, and things often run fine. If they don't, you can always uninstall them.
