Firefox Extension - No Squint

vitriol · Nov 27, 2008, 15:20:56

I've been trying to get Firefox to remember a default zoom level for ages. I'm forever changing zoom levels depending on what websites I'm visiting and to be honest forever using CTRL and + - keys to change zoom levels is a chore.

Enter No Squint

You can set a default zoom level and adjust on a per website basis. Best of all it remembers the zoom levels \o/

Nice little extension.

Nice find, Vit.

another

for Vit, yet another Addon that's worth having.
Does anyone know if there is a maximum number of addons you can install ?

I've never seen one mooted, Alan, but I suspect your reach unworkability before you reach capacity.

I am getting there, I am sure

Let us know when you hit the buffers.

Surely a better idea is to get a new monitor, like an Eizo.

Better be quick - there'll be no more mortgages available soon!

You're catching on, Seb, I'm proud of you.

vitriol · Nov 28, 2008, 12:12:06

Defeats the purpose of having a laptop though, having a great hulking monitor plugged into it.

Rik · Nov 28, 2008, 12:12:43

Not really, it just gives you the best of borth worlds.

Sebby · Nov 28, 2008, 19:03:58

I agree. If I was to get another notebook for everyday use, I'd still have a separate monitor.

Rik · Nov 29, 2008, 10:13:48

Shame that most notebooks only have an analogue output.

Lance · Dec 22, 2008, 22:55:41

Mine has hdmi and i used it tonight to watch something on bbc iplayer through my tv!

Rik · Dec 23, 2008, 08:59:28

How was the quality?

Lance · Dec 23, 2008, 13:18:18

Obviously not as good at normal broadcast, but still easily watchable with sufficient detail . I used the online layer with the higher quality selected. I think the downloaded version is of a higher quality but I didn't want that on my machine!

Rik · Dec 23, 2008, 14:41:41

That I can understand.

Sebby · Dec 23, 2008, 17:26:09

I've watched iPlayer over HDMI and the quality is good. As Lance says, the quality of the downloaded iPlayer clips is better. Sky Player is great quality. ITV Catchup is terrible!

Rik · Dec 23, 2008, 17:26:38

So are the programmes, though, Sebby.

Sebby · Dec 23, 2008, 17:27:10

Except Coronation Street, of course.

Rik · Dec 23, 2008, 17:42:20

That's a matter of opinion.

Have a look through these links, should give a few ideas

The second link started in 2006 but was still running a little while ago. Only problem is that not all of the add-ons mentioned are compatible with FF3. I have 10 installed but only 8 are active at present.

So I have a while to go yet, only 25 extension running at the moment

If you add Mr Tech's Toolkit tp your extensions then you can disable compatibility checking and you find virtually all extensions still work perfectly.
