How do I modify a Firefox extension to work with Flock?
it is possible to manually edit the extension to attempt to add support for [higher versions of] Flock. First, download the xpi file for the extension. Once you have it, open it up in an archive manager such as WinRAR [ or http://www.7-zip.org/]. Locate the file install.rdf and open it up in notepad or your favorite text editor. Locate the Flock section, and locate where it is defining the max version. Change this to 1.0, add it back to the xpi file
Convert Firefox to Flock extensions with flock'd

What are Add-ons? "Add-ons are small pieces of software that can add new features or tiny tweaks to your [Mozilla Browser] They can add new search engines or dictionaries in other languages, change the look of [your Browser] with a new theme, or much more. Take a look around and see what add-ons can do for you." - firefox
Add-Ons...there are countless available...
* Extensions in Firefox 1.5; Add-Ons in Firefox 2+
1Works only with Firefox
2 Some work Session Management extensions work with Firefox 1.5, with Flock 0.7.X, not with Firefox 2.0, and Firefox 2.0 has built-in sessionmanager.
3 works with Flock, but not with Firefox.
4 tips from the author: What I do though is go to preferences/invocation and set it to Toolbar mode, as I mentioned below. However what I didn't mention is why: It means the menu does not come up when selecting text! ONLY when you hit the enter key after you select text. Try it :-) It's much less obtrusive. I recommend toolbar mode: hit enter and it hoists the selection to the toolbar, then use they keyboard shortcuts
5 Works with Firefox 1.5, not with 2.x
6 Works with Firefox 2.x, not with 1.5
7Groowe Search Toolbar bundles toolbar functions for many search engines, shopping sites, download sites, including Google toolbar, Yahoo, Amazon, EBay, Ask, Msn, Download.com, Wikipedia, Digg, del.icio.us and others
8 Can you scroll back in Jabberbar? Can you enlarge Jabberbar?
