- discreditable 9y agoThe one extension I'm missing (which has been broken since e10s) is cliget: https://github.com/zaidka/cliget https://github.com/zaidka/cliget
- jeroenhd 9y agoFYI: Firefox (and other browsers as well I think) already have built-in functionality for generating a cURL command with all the headers and cookies included. In the dev tools, you can right-click on a request in the "network" tab and click Copy > Copy as cURL. Sadly, this only works for requests you haven't already done with the dev tools open and it doesn't generate wget commands, but you might get some use out of this while the add-on is being updated.
- discreditable 9y agoThis is my workaround for now, but Copy as cURL doesn't preserve the output filename given by the server. Not to mention it's a bit of a pain in the butt.
- tmzt 9y agoAdding -O usually takes care of that. I'm using curl with -L -O over wget now. Are you missing having it in the context menu?
- discreditable 9y agoThe download prompt mostly. Although the context option was sometimes useful it wasn't very reliable. Sites often don't give you direct links to download files that the context menu would help with.

- plopz 9y agoLooks like a lot of wont be ported, limited functionality and lack of necessary APIs on that list. Doesn't quite give me much confidence in WebExtensions.
- nicoburns 9y agoNote that the webextension APIs are still under active development. So just because the APIs don't exist yet doesn't mean that they won't ever.

- iterati 9y agoThe right thing to do would have been to work on those extensions BEFORE breaking users' experience.
- digi_owl 9y agoSadly not how the FOSS world works any longer. All that matters is the "shiny" (often wrapped in some kind of "social consciousness" claptrap), and those of us that has come to rely on existing behavior has to either suck it up, move on, or fork (And even forks struggle)...
- amaranth 9y agoI don't remember the FOSS world _ever_ working like you seem to think it should. The CADT Model[1] isn't exactly new and it wasn't really new when jwz coined the term either. Only the kernel, POSIX-y things, and enterprise software provides what you're asking for. And forks of Firefox struggle because writing a browser is really really hard and they can't keep up with the changes needed. [1] https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html
- nicoburns 9y agoTotally agree with this. I think it was a mistake on Mozilla's part not to put more effort into extension parity before the switch-over. But I'm relatively optimistic for the future.
- chippy 9y agoThat list is missing Hide Caption Titlebar Plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-...
- scholia 9y agoI searched but failed to find a substitute for that....
- barrkel 9y agoThat's a super-useful spreadsheet. Most of my extensions have at least alternate versions with some overlap on what I use.
- nerdponx 9y agoThis is also a pretty fantastic list of Firefox plugins in its own right. Thank you!
- DamnInteresting 9y agoThere's no replacement for ScrapBook, a plugin where I have a decade of stored annotated documents (no hyperbole, my oldest files date from 2007). Ever since I discovered that FF57 was going to kill ScrapBook I had to disable Firefox updates so I don't lose access to ~6GB of stored data. It's a mix of past, present, and future writing research. I know I have access to clumsy workarounds such as copying FF56 to a VM with updates disabled, or to have parallel Firefox installs, but Scrapbook is a daily-use tool for me, and clunky workarounds won't last long. I'm thinking about reverse-engineering the way ScrapBook stores data so I can write my own migration to something else, but...oof. Anybody have any suggestions for another plugin/product that offers the same features? Or, dare I dream, one that can import everything from ScrapBook? My searches for the latter have come up dry, but perhaps something obscure exists.
- leoedin 9y agoIs the Web Scrapbook extension compatible with the files it generates? It seems to have a lineage (via Scrapbook X) that descends from ScrapBook. https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook https://github.com/danny0838/webscrapbook
- xtraeme 9y agoUnfortunately, the answer is no. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7btuln/so_long_and_thanks_for_all_the_fish/dplqikt/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7btuln/so_long_and... The Firefox team has specifically said they won't add support for the foreseeable future. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246236#c113 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246236#c113 More here: https://github.com/danny0838/firefox-scrapbook/issues/209#issuecomment-293426209 https://github.com/danny0838/firefox-scrapbook/issues/209#is... Losing several hundred thousand users¹ probably isn't in the team's best interest; so hopefully they will make it a priority to revisit this, but I have a feeling there are resource limitations that will make this by design won't fix. ¹ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU0GPoSmRqZ7A0VBvqeKYVSww/htmlview https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU...

- rk06 9y agoIt needs an entry for RamBack[0]. Before installing RamBack, FF was very frustrating and I was seriously considering chrome [0] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ramback/?src=api https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ramback/?src=...
