ChromEdit Plus ChromEdit Plus

Easily edit user files in Firefox & Thunderbird

ChromEdit Plus is a re-write of ChromEdit... Plus some added features:

 Open the Chrome Folder, Profile Folder, Install/Program Folder & the File Manager.

 I've Added a "Restart" button - One on the CEP window and one for the toolbar.
Firefox 2 & 3 ONLY! - Uses the saved sessions feature to reopen all tabs and windows.

 The "Open In A Tab" checkbox has been moved to the Options window. Or...
Left click the toolbar button - opens in a floating window, middle click - opens in a tab.

 For ease of use, ChromEdit Plus reopens in the last tab open when closed.

 ChromEdit Plus has been upgraded to "Save" files in the UTF-8 format.

 The prefs.js tab is hidden by default in the Options window.
Please view the Screenshot below for more information.

 Open all from the "Tools" menu and/or 24px & 16px toolbar buttons.

Works In...  Firefox3.0 - 3.6.*    Thunderbird2.0 - 3.0.*

Operating Systems...WindowsLinux


Update 10/28/2009

Hotfix in userChrome.css tab textbox for compatibility with Firefox 3.6.

Version 2.8.8 uses new code to "open in a window" or "open in a tab"
that allows for only one instance of ChromEdit to be opened at a time.

Reality check! Removed support for long discontinued versions of Firefox & Thunderbird.

Support for the userChrome.js extension has been removed.
With a new version available userChrome.js 1.1... This needs to be a stand alone extension.

Long overdue... First run of CEP in Thunderbird 2 & 3 creates the chrome folder.
Examples of userChrome.css & userContent.css are not included... For help, go here!


Firefox 3.0 & up users... The DOM Inspector can be found at AMO.

Firefox 3 & up users should use id's, command, etc... to hide menuitems.
DON'T rely solely on labels. See Bug 373623 for a full explanation.


ChromEdit Plus Frequently asked questions:

Q: I've installed ChromEdit Plus. How do I actually use it?
A: For a large collection of code... go to: MozillaZine Forum - Post your userFiles!
I'd recommend joining the MozillaZine forums for easy sharing of code and ways of use.
IMHO... Learning how to use the DOM Inspector is your best option for hacking Firefox!

Q: Will ChromEdit Plus or any of your extensions ever be available in my language?
A: NO! If you wish to translate any of my extensions into your own language...
Feel free to do so. NOTICE... Post them on your own website... in your own language.
