Hi!
It would be useful to be able to explore the firefox cache and extract images and other media from pages I visited previously. Your about:cache makes this a little easier, but I still can't map from the name of the image (eg. http://something.com/something.jpg) to the actual file in the cache (eg. abcd1234d01). Is there a way to do this?

Also, it's very difficult to find a particular file in the cache. It would be nice if we could sort by date, site, filename, etc, sort of like clicking on column headings in explorer.

Regards
Roger.

I would like to be able to get a list of all my extensions and info on them exported like exporting bookmarks. I have too many ext's on too many computers to keep track. About: extensions.
(name, description, status (disabled), ver, website, hidden ID, options(?), icon(?).

[mrtech]

There are currently several other programs that do this:
- my Local Install extension, which include about:about, My Config and tons of other funtions
- InfoLister
- Nightly Tester Tools
- ListZilla

Thanks!
I did find two of these extensions after I posted. It is very hard to search for the word extension in extensions!
I also found a few lists of extensions that are catagorized where extensions can be found easier.

I am using infolister with a custom template to produce a full set of info. Yea!

Just upgraded Firefox to 1.5.0.7 and About:about is no longer in the Help menu. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, but it doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Hello,

[latest version release notes]

# Adds Alt-C as a shortcut and toolbar icons for about:config

This is a very bad idea, as Alt-C is the only way of producing the "ç" character on a non-French keyboard on a Mac.
How can I switch this feature off? Do I have to revert to the previous version?
Thanks.

Will there be an update of this extension for FireFox 3.5 ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answer.
