Updating the Better Extensions for Firefox 3.6 · Now that the Firefox 3.6 beta is available for download (portable version is here), it's time to start updating the Better Firefox extensions. The most popular ones, Better Gmail 2 and Better GReader, are already 3.6-compatible; the rest will come in the next few weeks. As always, join the Google Group to ask questions or make comments about the Better Firefox extensions. · November 11th, 2009, 1 comment
Better GReader Gets Helvetireader · The latest version of the Better GReader Firefox extension for Google Reader now includes the gorgeous Helvetireader skin thanks to the generosity of Jon Hicks.

Just released an update to my Firefox add-on, Better GReader 0.7.2, which contains a few fixes plus a new integrated print button. Huge thanks to the folks at Mozilla for making Better GReader one of their official "Recommended" add-ons; it's now got over 33,000 active daily users (relatively small compared to Better Gmail 2's 304,000 daily users).
As always, a lively conversation about all the Better Webapps add-ons is going on on the mailing list. Hit us up with questions, problems, or requests there.
Download Better GReader and let us know what you think. My favorite feature: "Preview Item," which loads the originating web page right inside Google Reader.
Uploaded a new version of the Better GReader Firefox extension late last week, with a long overdue bug fix on one of its most useful features: inline article preview.
While you're using Google Reader to peruse your feeds, with Inline Preview (click) enabled, you can click the article headline to load it within the Google Reader frame, no new tab required. This is especially useful for news articles that don't include the full text inside their feed items. Thanks to scripter Bryan Tsai, this new version also lets you Ctrl+Click a headline if you do want to open it in a new tab. See it and a few other Better GReader features in action in the video below. Or just download Better GReader here, or ask questions on the mailing list here.

Just posted updates to two of my Firefox extensions: Better Gmail 2 and Better GReader.
Better Gmail 2 users can now enjoy the new Hide Labels in Message Row script (which hides labels until you roll over the message), and a Hide Spam Count update that doesn't underline the Spam link when you have themes enabled. Bettter GReader users will like that the Preview Item script no longer conflicts with Google Reader's new notes capability; and Show Feed Favicons has been fixed (for Firefox 3.1 users only). Both extensions are now fully Firefox 3.1 compatible, no hacks required. I'm not going to open comments on this post--if you've got questions or feedback, join the Better Firefox Extensions mailing list, which is happily going strong. I've submitted both new versions to Mozilla Add-ons for approval as well. Enjoy the updates and fixes!
