Cool text toolbar for Firefox

7 replies
It's been around for a while and a lot of you will already know about it but it's a favourite of mine so I thought I'd share.

Text Formatting Toolbar

It's a free text toolbar add-on for Firefox that allows you to easily format text on forums, text boxes (WP text widget), Squidoo lenses etc

You can choose HTML, BB Code or Wiki Code

Personally I use it most for Squiddo and WP text widgets.

    Peter,

    I really like the toolbar but am having issues installing it. The site is singularly unhelpful...lol. Apparently it's an .xpi file and when download it, Windows wants to know what I want to open it with.

    Should I be downloading it directly to my Firefox folder or something?

      Don't download it Tina, just install it!

      Left click 'Downloading' and firefox should open a dialogue box (It may pop up a yellow bar saying 'Firefox prevented... blah blah - just click Allow)

      On the dialogue box simply click install. You may have to restart Firefox.

      That should be it.

        Thanks! I was cruising the WF in IE and it wanted me to download it. Got it now.

    Looks like that will come in handy. I'll have a play.

    Not sure what happened with your install Tina, I simply clicked the link and Firefox recognized it as an addon and installed it automatically...didn't download and save the file anywhere.

    I can't 'cruise' anywhere with IE - it just feels so uncomfortable, like folding your arms left over right instead of right over left.

      I work with IE and FF at the same time. In FF, I'll have my "working" tabs open and in IE, I'll pop in here or to a social networking site as my breaks from work.

      Worse than IE, really, as most people think - I use AOL...lol.

        Tina, and AOL is not even a browser! I remember the "old" days when if you were logged on to AOL and went to MSN for example, you were actually logged out..."Goodbye."
