I’m a bit late on suggesting this, but I think it would be beneficial to use some css cursor styling for the buttons that you provided. Might I suggest using..
cursor: move;
..to demonstrate that the buttons are to be moved in a visual way rather than making the user uncertain since the default cursor is the pointer hand (most commonly associated with a hyperlink). I think that may make it more visually pleasing and easier to understand for new users that they can just drag an element from the web page to their tool bar and drop it. Just a suggestion..food for thought.

Adrian: Strictly speaking, these are not Windows only: The Firefox button works out-of-the-box in Linux, and the IE one works in Linux with a tiny modification, provided you have IEs4Linux installed.

OK, but they didn’t work in Mac OSX, which is what I was trying to use them in before.

if you want a button to use tiny url just paste this code in the step 3 of that page and press create button

Go to page, “http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url=%u”, , “Tn”

The code anyway for it would be


Go to page,"http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url=%u"


Copy plain text is default in opera, as it does not copy formatted text at all currently.

And tinyURL bookmarklet can be found at http://tinyurl.com/#toolbar

The ONLY thing I miss about Firefox is Firebug and Web Dev Toolbar. Everything else is either mirroring Opera functionality (like mouse gestures) or little ‘nice’ things that don’t really matter( like SearchStaus).

I can think of a few more. I use UA Agent Switcher, Copy Plain Text, and TinyURL Creator regularly with Firefox – does anyone know if there are equivalent plugins on Opera?

Personally I prefer having IE and FF in seperate windows, rather than in other tabs, also means I can spread them across different monitors if I want to.

And I hope to hell Opera don’t do Firefox like extensions. When I install Opera, all I need is to edit the status bar and add a few custom buttons like these, and I’m ready to go. I don’t have to find half a dozen extensions to do things that Opera does out of the box.

1. Firstly, everything is rendered fine here.
2. i drag and i drop, but nothing happens except for the following:

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address because the protocol (opera) isn’t associated with any program.

another proof that opera isn’t the answer to all.

On a serious note, though – this does not compare to FF’s IETab extension. This opens up IE within the FF session – in another tab. Hence the name. Unfortunately, there is no OperaTab extension for FF to open up Opera embedded in a tab, but I still have not really had a need for that as of yet. But, Opera doesn’t support any opening of other programs within the current session, only “from” within the current session, as the title of this post suggests. Oh, well, maybe one day (when they introduce extensions in Opera).

In case someone wonders: You can have a nice Firefox or IE logo if you use certain skins, that support these buttons,

You can add these to every skin yourself. Just drop them anywhere in the ZIP archive and refer to them with “$browsername = path/to/image.png” and “$browsername.hover = path/to/image.png” in the skin.ini. (Not sure if the .hover part is actually necessary, though.)
