This is a very easy hack that I created today.

Prerequisites

Once you've got a RTM account setup and the Custom Buttons extension installed you're ready to add the button.

In FF click View->Add new button....
A dialog box will appear with space to add a Name, an Image, some Code and Initialization Code.

The name and image are self explanatory. The Code box is where you'll paste the code below which will launch a new window that displays a form to add a new RTM task. The Initialization Code box is for code that will run when the browser starts up.

Past this JavaScript code into the Code box which will launch the RTM dialog when the custom button is clicked.

JavaScript:
  1. javascript:(function(){h='www.rememberthemilk.com';p='/services/ext/addtask.rtm';if(window.getSelection){d=window.getSelection();}else if(document.getSelection){d=document.getSelection();}else if(document.selection){d=document.selection.createRange().text;};cp='http://'+h+p+'?d='+encodeURIComponent(d)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(document.title);w=window.open(cp,'addwindow','status=no,toolbar=no,width=475,height=260,resizable=yes');setTimeout(function(){w.focus();}, 500);})();

Click OK to save and close the dialog and then click View-Toolbars-Customize and add your new button to a toolbar.

Clicking the button will launch the RTM form and now you can add tasks right from Firefox.

AllPeers allows you to share your files privately and securely and with who you choose. AllPeers is part of a new breed of P2P file sharing where you can specify who can access your shared content.

Since AllPeers is a Firefox extension the set up is a very easy. Once it is installed all that is required is that you create an account using a valid email address.

Once you're set up you can add contact either by their AllPeers username or email address.

Gmail Manager is a very handy tool that allows you to monitor multiple Gmail accounts all from with in Firefox.

What I like is that I can see what's in my Gmail at a glance.

What I don't like is that when I hover over the tray icon it display a list of unread messages but when I move the mouse over the list of email the list disappears.

Other wise if your using Gmail and Firefox that you should be using Gmail Manager.

I just found this Firefox Extension: Poster which allows you to interact/test HTTP Requests to Web Services.

For instance suppose you want to test a query using Yahoo's Search Web Services but you don't want to go through the hassle of either hacking some code or using my handy phpYahoo Class. What you can do is set up the query in Poster and let it deal with the heavy lifting.

I found this sweet Firefox Extension: FireFTP that works like a frickin charm. This extension may in fact get me to back into using Linux more because now that I have a nice alternative to use in Xubuntu aside from gFTP. (I haven't been using Linux as much lately due to my dislike of gFTP.) The thing that makes this a truly awesome is the fact that's is cross-platform. People always said that the browser is the killer app and that dream is being realized via Firefox.

FireBug is a very handy Firefox extension for debugging Javascript applications which lets you step through code one line at a time. And it is especially useful for debugging Ajax applications and lets you really see what is in the HTTP Request Packet and where things may have gone wrong.
