About
Hi Carol.
Thanks for mentioning Hyperwordsâ„¢!
A quick update:
We just released version 1.5 which adds a powerful Toolbar function.
This new version also addresses the issue of the menu popping up to frequently (which could make it a little annoying) by adding new Preferences so you can specify exactly how it should work.
In a month’s time version 2.0 will be launched, featuring full user customizability, as well as Microsoft Internet Explorer support.
Get this new version as well as more information at http://www.hyperwords.net
1.5 is borne out of user feedback and we’d be very grateful for any further thoughts and perspectives or questions. Please contact me via email ‘frode ‘at’ hyperwords.net’.

Scott,i am going to do that.
Biff,shame on me.I forgot to put it.
hmmm nice collection.. thanks
great!
Not bad but those of us with over 70 ext we feel a little let down, other wise I agree.
Good list. I’d like to add a couple I found extremely helpful:
Linkification. Converts text links to working links that can be clicked on.
IE Tab. This embeds IE into Firefox tabs, which allow you to view a page in IE within the Firefox browser.
Thanks…
Gracias…
Thanks.
but why not Firebug?
Firebug ext is awesome ext for inspecting dom, debugging javascript and soon..
Congratulations,your’e top of the hot posts,keep going and you’ll be No 1 in the top blogs.Well done.
Even better news you’re No 5 in the top blogs,see if you can knock Scobleizer off the top,go for it my friend.
I am not trying to take Scobleizer’s place,Dave.
I don’t think many people can take his place…and if they do,is not for long time.
Good collection! very useful I like answers!
Is SwitchProxy FF 2.0 compatible yet?
I am not sure about that,but you can try forcing it with Nightly Tester Tools.
I am still on Firefox 1.5 on my pc,but on my laptops 2.0 and i don’t use the tool there).
