[Firefox Users]

If you're a user of the Web Browser Firefox I'd like to make a recommendation on an Extension you can install to make your Thumbnail browsing easier.

Here is a preview of what the addon does:
http://www.fotofap.com/pfiles/56918/ex2.png

Whenever you mouseover a thumbnail it will pop up the image in its original size instead of linking you to another page to view the full size image.

Below, you will find a zip file which contains an XPI file. Extract it to your desktop and then open Firefox. Go to File > Open File > Select ThumbnailExpander.xpi and install it. Once it is installed, restart Firefox and you should be good to go!

This would work great if my internet connection was faster but the program itself is great. I recommend evry Firefox user download it.

thumbnail viewer

I have recently given up on IE and downloaded Firefox 9.0.1. Does anyone know of a mouse over thumbnail viewer for this version? I installed thumbnail zoom plus 1.6.0 but it doesn't work here. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm still using Thumbnail Expander (think it's the same as the OP). I think it works because I have the 'Add-On compatibility reporter' installed:

https://addons (DOT) mozilla (DOT) org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

What it does:

Quote:

After installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, your incompatible extensions will become enabled for you to test whether they still work with the version of Firefox or Thunderbird that you're using.

I have about seven or eight add-ons that are 'incompatible' with Firefox 9, but they all work thanks to this add-on. Check it out and see if it works for you... ;)

Many thanks Bobby. I will give it a try. Will let you know the outcome.

Thanks a TON Bobby! This has been probably my favorite add on for Firefox and I haven't been able to use it for months. Thanks for the fix!

Many thanks to the great Bobby Coke

Worked like a charm Bobby Coke. Being a tech moron ( I used to be pretty good but it all got away from me about 7-8 years ago) I appreciate the advice from people like you.

Thanks again.

I have been looking for a way around this problem for awhile now. I did download that however I get an error message that says "this add on no longer works"

I have the thumbnail expander and it is still not working...wonder what I'm doing wrong here:confused:

Cheer guys, happy to help. :)

I think it was someone on FF who told me about that add-on (might have been beat or RemBo...), so just passing it on. ;)

Not sure either Shape. Do you mean the compatibility add on isn't working?

I did download what you provided, it now shows up in my add ons and I did a restart yet the expander is still not working. I have made sure the expander is enabled but it's just not expanding.

The comparability reporter is installed and my expander is version 1.4.3

I'm running firefox 9.0.1 and the comp reporter is version 1.0.2

I will try and tweak my settings for add ons and see if that helps. If anybody can figure out what I'm doing wrong in the meantime let me know:o

Mmm...

Perhaps I am using a different thumbnail expander to you (although if it worked for quincypdog and dogbreath it should work for you.)

The thumbnail expander I have is version 1.0 of this add-on:

https://addons (DOT)mozilla (DOT) org/en-US/firefox/addon/thumbnail-expander/

I have Firefox 9.0.1 and the comp add on is 1.0.2, so maybe if it is a different thumbnail add-on it might work for you too...

Right on Bobby, I will give that a shot:cool:

Well, I get a message I can't download that version because it's incompatible with my version of firefox....arghhhhh!!!!

Updated Firefox to 13.0 and have thumbnail expander and compatibility reporter installed. Thumbnail expander stopped working again :mad: Anyone have a fix yet?

If you open a new tab and put "about:config" (without the quotes) in the address bar and press enter.

Right click anywhere on the page and in the menu that comes up select 'new', then 'boolean'.

In the box that pops up, paste this:

extensions.checkCompatibility.13.0

And set it to false.

Worked for me, give it a go. :)

Alternative: Install the addon "checkCompatibility".

With this addon you can activate/deactivate individual addons...
