Evil Firefox Extensions

Just a quick post about a couple of Firefox extensions I had some problems with. The first one is SessionSaver, which I mentioned just the other day. Don't use it. Twice in two days Firefox crashed on startup when trying to restore the previous session. To the author's credit, it can detect a crash and will give you the option of ignoring the last save point, letting the browser start normally. Still, it seems to make the extension pretty much useless, doesn't it?

I also want to warn you about trying to install the version of AdBlock stored at Mozilla Update. It won't work with Fx 1.0.6. It doesn't generate any errors, but after installing it and restarting Firefox, the extension just isn't there. You can, however, use AdBlock Plus 0.5.9 as found at the AdBlock Plus homepage. Even if you uninstalled AdBlock at some point, all of your blacklisted URLs should be restored after installing 0.5.9. And thank god, because I have well over 200 blocked, wild-carded addresses.
