My Firefox Extensions

Google Bookmarks Button new!

This extension adds a new button in the Firefox toolbar to manage the Google Bookmarks.

You will need to have a Google Account and be signed in to use this extension.

The button didn't appear directly on your toolbar, you will need to add it manually going to View > Toolbars > Customize... and dragging the "Bookmarks" button into your toolbar.

[install latest version (0.1)]
(tested ONLY in Firefox 1.5)

04-18-06 Version 0.1:
• First release so everything is new ;)

• Add bookmarks by clicking in the star next to the "Bookmarks" button or clicking in the "Bookmarks" button and selecting "Bookmark this page".
• When a page is on your bookmarks the star button is filled with yellow, to edit that bookmark click on the star or in "Edit this bookmark" in the menu.
• Remove your bookmarks by clicking the "Manage bookmarks..." option in the "Bookmarks" menu.
• Sort bookmarks by modification date or alphabetically.

Known bugs :

• You'll need to refresh the bookmarks if you were not signed in your Google Account when Firefox started.
• You'll need to refresh the bookmarks in order to see the changes when the bookmarks or labels are modified.

ToDo List:

• Open a sign in window if the user isn't signed into his/her Google Account
• Remove bookmarks, add/rename/remove labels, etc. directly from the extension like the IE button (if you know how to do that, please contact me)
• Drag & drop bookmarks to assign them to labels (only possible if I can achieve the previous one)
• Favicons on the bookmarks

Suggestions by users (not in the ToDo plans)

• Open in Tabs all the bookmarks in a label
• Group the unlabeled bookmarks under one folder
• Synchronization with Firefox Bookmarks (not until Places comes to FF)

gTranslate

With gTranslate you can translate any text in a webpage just by selecting and right-clicking over it. The extension uses the Google translation services to translate the text.

06-28-05 Version 0.1:
• First release so everything is new ;)

• Translates from:
  English to German / German to English
  English to Spanish / Spanish to English
  English to French / French to English
  English to Italian / Italian to English
  English to Portuguese / Portuguese to English
  English to Japanese / Japanese to English
  English to Korean / Korean to English
  English to Chinese (Simplified) / Chinese (Simplified) to English
  German to French / French to German
• Auto-detection of browser locale and page language (if lang attribute is defined for the selected tag or for the whole page).
  For example: By defalut gTranslate has "German to English" as language pair. If you your locale is set to French then "German to French" is going to be used, but if the page (or the selected text) is detected to be in English, it will be translated from "English to French".
• Support for translating text from input and textarea form fields. Image title or alt attributes can be translated also.

ToDo List:

• Allow changing the selected text for the translated text on input fields.
• Language auto-detection based on lang attribute in other tags and not only in html.
• Translate to Firefox defined language (if possible)
• Translate title and alternative text from images.
• Internationalization.
