Setup a dummy account if you don’t want presence to follow you. Flawlessly tracks dozens of yahoo and hotmail accounts mixed beta and non. Plays well with firefox 3b4 portable
first version: http://Himself.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/installing-firefox-dom-inspector-without-having-to-custom-install-firefox/
new fun version:
Repackage this debian binary into an XPI to install to firefox 2
(instructions assume Windows XP, but will work for any OS essentially)
download this debian binary: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/web/firefox-dom-inspector
don’t have debian? don’t worry. you’ll need 7zip
open firefox-dom-inspector_2.0.0.11+0nobinonly-0ubuntu0.6.10_all.deb (or whatever is current) in 7zip
or right-click-drag firefox-dom-inspector_2.0.0.11+0nobinonly-0ubuntu0.6.10_all.deb to 7zFM.exe
extract: data.tar.gz
open: data.tar.gz
browse to: .\usr\share\firefox\extensions\
extract the folder: inspector@mozilla.org
(for santiy sake check the RDF)
yup… that’ll do nicely
using your zip capable archive tool zip the newly extracted inspector@mozilla.org folder
(correction: zip contents of the folder)
change the zip extension to xpi
drag the newly created xpi into firefox to install the DOM Inspector extension
or download DOM Inspector for firefox2: inspector@mozilla.org.xpi

for a slightly less complicated unpack the zip in this directory
http://ftp-mozilla.netscape.com/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/
unpack: inspector@mozilla.orgzip contents to xpi
For those atrociously designed sites that gobble up my power it’d be nice to autostop unresponsive scripts after 3 seconds. If whatever cannot accomplish whatever else in 3 seconds I don’t want whatever it is anyway.
There’s no reason to install a “youtube extension”. All that’s required is Firefox and AdBlock Plus.
(1) visit YouTube
(2) pick and play a video
(3) mash CTRL+Shift+B
(4) in that search bar enter: get_vid
(5) right click that URL, open in new tab
(6) close existing tab.. and download from new tab will commence
(7) rename FLV to suit and watch (in MPlayer or similar)
repeat as desired

Yeah, yeah configuration… but how many peak of bell curve people will want to play with IFRAME settings?

God bless “the developers” for finally allowing AdBlock Plus to interact with the stream in the same way as the browser (yes, a while ago). AdBlockPlus has become a wonderful tool for acquisition. It works delightfully well in tandem with Net Transfer 
Recommended for other purposes is the add-on’s add-on: Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper (unlike other nefarious people’s extensions in whose source I’m inaccurately described Wladimir’s XPI’s don’t need to be hacked). Yes, Contol-Shift-B is great for saving music, too.

Yeah yeah “rules 1 & 2″ et al. Your “rules” don’t apply to my kind. I couldn’t contain myself any longer…. I had to share to escape the suffering
enjoy
