Zipping/unzipping files

To have a look into .xpi and .jar files, we can use tools such as :

- 7 Zip : http://www.7-zip.org/

- Izarc : http://www.izarc.org/

- ...


Editing files

Some useful tools :

- PsPad : http://www.pspad.com/

- Jedit : http://www.jedit.org/

- ...

Translating strings


- a great number of dictionaries and glossaries ( *to be completed)

- a very interesting extension by Lid2000 : Localite
with a mod version : it allows translating entities and strings from properties files without the pain of writing the <!ENTITY> stuff. You can even choose another textfile from the previous locale you did and just have to add the missing translations. A recent but promising extension...

- 2 extensions which can help to translate via Babelfish and/or Google translate :
Translate and gTranslate
- There also is the very good Translation panel extension

more to come... just add and share your experience !

[about profiles management]
I am the happy user for years of this VERY handy shortcurt (script for windows only)

http://gemal.dk/blog/2004/11/05/firefox_th...ktop_shortcuts/

It is so very easy to create/kill profiles (and also access safe mode and options) with it! I don't understand why everyone is not using it.

Also, there is the brilliant extension by Paolo Kaosmos
https://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profileswitcher-en.html
with which you can open several profiles simultaneously
It should be compulsory for extension testers closedeyes.gif

laugh.gif I am no vista user
but I suppose there is not a lot to change (the relative path probably) in the script to make it work even for this brilliant OS.

I will give a look and maybe DaveG could find a hack.
