    Hi. i begin with programation to firefox addons, can you teaching like make to tell url of the bar directions?

    hola. comienzo a programar en addons para firefox, podrías enseñarme como hacer para tomar la direccion que se escribe en la barra de direcciones?

    @GoosFancito: Most extensions *.xpi are simply zip compressed archives. Just open it with some zip archiver and edit included files. It’s all documented in the sources and there are some great instructional web sites on building Firefox extensions out there. Google is your friend.

    Hello.

    What about a build supporting latest Firefox3? I cannot install this even if having the Nightly Testing Tools.

    Regards.

  4. Jürgen R. Plasser said:

    @anonymous: I can’t support all firefox betas due lack of time, but I will try to give you an update ASAP.

  5. John Doe said:

    Jürgen,

    thanks for this great extension.

    I understand only having a certain amount of time.

    The current FF3 version is Beta 5. Please release a version of Copy All URLs that will work with Beta 5 or even RC1 as soon as you reasonably can.

    Keep up the great work!

    Thanks very much for this very useful add-on. However, in my opinion, it would be better if the menu items would be consistent across all the menu pop-ups from CopyAllURLs. In the Edit>CopyAllURLs menu, the items are Copy, Paste, Open Tabs, Options, whereas the one in the toolbar menu only has copy and paste. While there are keyboard shortcuts, it would be much convenient if the toolbarbutton and the context menu pop-up would have the complete list of menu items like in the Edit>CopyAllURLs menu pop-up. Additionally, the toolbarbutton takes up too much space and it would be better if it would have the standard size of 16px by 16px. Thanks once again.

    CopyAllUrls should allow to set a delay to open pages. Certain sites/domains do not enjoy aggressive loading.

  10. Ian said:

    Delay to open tabs would really be a kicking feature. However, in the meantime, if any of you need to do so on Windows, here is a little batch file. Save it as opentabs.bat and, drag and drop any text files with a list of valid URLs. Enjoy.

    @ECHO OFF
    SET BROWSER=firefox.exe
    SET WAIT_TIME=2

    IF [%1] == [] GOTO DONE
    FOR /f “tokens=1,2″ %%U IN (’TYPE %1′) DO CALL :READFILE %%U
    GOTO DONE

    :READFILE
    START %BROWSER% -new-tab “%*”
    SLEEP %WAIT_TIME%

    :DONE

    @Daniel: Thanks for you code addition, I will see if I can add it to the next release.

  13. Justin Utherperson said:

    I’ve been using your extension for quite a number of months, and I love it.
    Thank you. . . . and here you know what comes next . . . but:
    if only it would be possible to do the following two things, I would be a happy being:

    1.- be able to select a subset of tabs - Copy(Almost)AllUrls as it were by choosing some tabs (with a check box or something on the tabs) out of a set of open tabs;

    2.- be able to copy url of single page - a third option in context menu added to “Copy Ctrl+Alt+C” and “Paste Ctrl+Alt+C” - (to avoid having to go to the address bar . . .)

    Thank you again, and I hope that you consider these worthwhile suggestions.

  14. Justin Utherperson said:

    sorry, but I also thought of two other features which I think would be wonderful on this extension:

    continued from my previous entry . . .

    3.- have an option for the copied urls to be formatted in a web page. I often keep a list of urls as a web page (by inserting them between “”some titles” ” and “”). It would be really cool to have the possibility of just entering a title and to save it;

    4.- to enable local pages (i.e. file:///mnt/soimething/alittle.htm or in Windows file://C: . . .) to function when using Copy All Urls . . .-> Paste.

    Thank you again.

    I keep trying to install Version 0.8.1, and it “SEEMS TO” install, but it keeps showing up as Version 0.8.0. Is it me, or is this a bug? Thanks.

  17. Jürgen R. Plasser said:

    Hi Worc, sorry, this is a bug. I don’t have any time at the moment to fix it, but with the next release I will change this for sure.

  18. Scott P Wheeler said:

    Fantastic Extension. I use it all the time. I was devastated when FireFox 3.0.1 told me there was no upgrade. I was pleased to do a Google search and fine the 0.8.1 update. It installed perfectly and works great! Thanks!

    I was just wondering why the update is not available through the FireFox Add-Ons Find Updates button. If I had been paying closer attention, I might not have upgraded to FireFox 3.0.1 if I had known that this valuable extension might not be upgradable. I’m really glad that it actually is upgradable.

    The “Copy Tab History” option looks cool. I’m sure it will come in handy sometime soon.

    Thanks again. I’m really happy with the extension just the way it is.

  19. Jürgen R. Plasser said:

    Hi Scott,

    thanks for using my extension.

    I really don’t know why the update is not available through the firefox update, but perhaps it’s related to a small “bug” that leaves the extension’s version number at 0.8.0 (see comments before) instead 0.8.1. I will see what I can do!
