Firefox 3 is ♥.  Today's adoration is for how it remembers what phrase I typed to get which URL.  For example, when I type 'rea', it pulls up the Google Reader URL, and when I type 'read', it brings up my reading page here.  *claps hands*

I had to train it a lot to get that example, though, as I'd spent ages typing in 'rea' and 'read' to get Google Reader.  Fifty million times later, I finally trained it to distinguish between the two URLs.

You know what's fun?  By which I mean to say, fun for me?  Installing SQLite Manager, and watching the phrase/URL counts change.

* Install that addon.
* Go to Tools > SQLite Manager.
* Go to Database > Connect Database.  This is where I go to; yours may be different:
  C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile folder]\
* In there, open places.sqlite.
* Click on the Execute SQL tab, and type this query in the box:

select h.input, h.use_count, p.url
from moz_inputhistory h
left join moz_places p on p.id = h.place_id

* Filter on whatever you like to get the results you need.  Using my above example, I'd want to see everything where I type in at least 'rea' to get it (covering both 'rea' and 'read'):

select h.input, h.use_count, p.url
from moz_inputhistory h
left join moz_places p on p.id = h.place_id
where h.input like 'rea%'

I still don't know why the numbers aren't integers, and why there are sometimes multiple entries for the same URL.  But hey, tinkering!  I like tinkering.  And I love SQL, so, bonus.

Okay, the YouTube GM script is done, insofar as it will remove the sizing part of the placeholder.

I'm working on having the whole placeholder be replaced with a link; stay tuned.

Mwhahahahahaha, it totally replaces the placeholder with a link and doesn't upfuck LJ Addons' unfolder deal.  *gleeful*

If you don't know what they are, go here (news article about Terry Irwin) and mouse over the dash-underlined words.

A couple more Firefox extensions.  Testing large databases is boring as whoa sometimes.  I've checked them all in my version of Firefox, 2.0.0.4.

- Change - "In any email you received, as well as on any webpage you are visiting, double click on a numeric amount to display its equivalent right next to it, in one of the 36 currencies you may chose from the toolbar."  Awesome!

- Oi, rosefox: Deepest Sender.  Posts to LJ, among other things.  It's like Semagic for Firefox, and you get checkboxes to select tags!  Oh oh OH.

- Extension List Dumper - "This extension adds a button ("Dump list") to the Add-ons window. When this button is pressed, a new window is opened with the list of installed extensions or themes (and its version number)."

- Menu Editor - "Rearrange or remove menuitems from the main context menu (right-click menu) and main menubar (File Edit View etc.)"  *♥s this*

I'm poking about the Dictionary Lookup Firefox extension, because I want it to display pronunciations.  Blah blah unpacked the .xpi blah blah, and I found a .xul file within.  This is apparently, according to Filext.com, "XML User Interface Language (Mozilla)".

So, right-click on the file, view in Textpad, and what's the first thing I see?
