Extension List Dumper: Firefox add-on of the day

by Ryan Sullivan Feb 17th 2007

With all of these new Firefox extensions I'm letting you know about, how are you bragging to all of your buddies? What you need is an easy way to dump all of the titles of your extensions into a comment on the net to let everyone know about the hundreds of new extensions that we are going to be covering! And you can do that in just a few short steps, with Extension List Dumper.

With Extension List Dumper, you can save your list to the clipboard in text or html. Other options include having them numbered, including the date they were installed, their descriptions, Mozilla ID number and the url of the extension. You are also able to just send the list to the printer or just save it as a file on your hard drive. In your add-on menu, you will see the above picture for this extension's options. This is to allow for a quicker exporting of the list. Otherwise, you will find the dump option in your add-on window. Just click on the "Dump List" and let 'er rip.

Feel free to give it a test in the comments below. I, on the other hand, am going to keep mine a bit of a secret. You are going to have to just keep on reading my add-on posts. Biggest list wins!

I've been using InfoList for quite awhile now. It auto saves to a file on my HD each time FF closes which I periodically ftp to an active link in my sidebar (although it does have an auto-upload feature I've never tried).

Billy,
you might want to look into FEBE and CLEO for backing up your FF things. FEBE will back everything up and CLEO will make it into one xpi file for a quick install. It makes it a quick and easy install on other computers you might use as well, to sync them up on bookmarks extensions and other things as well.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
