Firefox Extensions
I've built a few Firefox extensions which you can learn about on this page. All of the extensions were recently upgraded to include Firefox 3 Beta 3 compatibility although you may not be able to download the latest version from the Mozilla Addons site as it sometimes takes them a few days to approve new versions, etc.
I have occasionally been asked to fix other extensions that have been abandoned by their developers so that they work with the current versions of Firefox. If you'd like me to do this, please contact me.
Font Finder
Font Finder is designed for any web developer / designer that needs to find out the CSS information of any text on the page.
Simply highlight any text element, right-click, and choose font finder. An alert box will appear with all of the styling information you could require including font-size, font-family, color (in both hex and RGB), line-height, letter-spacing, and much much more....
As of version 0.5a, Font Finder works in both Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird so you can now find out text styles in HTML emails!
To download Font Finder, please visit the Mozilla Addons site. Alternatively, you can get version 0.5c that introduces full Firefox 3 compatibility.
Stop! Hammertime!
The Stop! Hammertime! extension has been downloaded over 120,000 times since its public release and has earned cult status with mentions on blogs all over the world as well as wikipedia entries!
The extension replaces the stop button so that when pressed, the immortal words of MC Hammer are uttered - "Stop! Hammertime!".
Recent updates have meant smaller download sizes as well as an option to choose between the standard stop button or the MC Hammer button (pictured).
To find out more and download Stop! Hammertime!, please visit the Mozilla Addons site. Alternatively, you can get version 2.1c that introduces full Firefox 3 compatibility.
STOP in the name of love!
Following on from the success of Stop! Hammertime!, STOP in the name of love! is another stop button replacement that allows you to replace the stop button with the heart icon pictured.
When pressed, Diana Ross and The Supremes will sing "Stop, in the name of love" for your listening pleasure.
The latest version (only available on this website at the moment) has an easier installation, smaller download size, and the ability to switch between the regular stop button and the heart shaped icon!
If you would like to download Stop in the name of love!, then please visit the Mozilla Addons site. Alternatively, you can get version 2.0b that introduces full Firefox 3 compatibility.
