    FfVb (firefox extension) gets a rewrite - Now you can ignore threads by keyword!

    During a complete rewrite, a user submitted a request to have a feature where you could enter keywords and any threads that contain those keywords would be filtered.
    I thought, great! I can enter "Spears" and surf in peace!

    So now the extension runs better than ever AND you can now ignore threads by keyword as well as all the other methods in previous versions.

    ver 0.92:
    - Ignore threads by checking a box beside it.
    - Ignore threads by keyword filter
    - Ignore threads by user
    - Ignore posts by user
    - Ignore quotes by user
    - Highlight threads by user
    - Sub Menu option to attach to bottom of browser window containing handy links and page navigation
    - Sidebar option to auto reload thread list of your favorite forum.
    - Load sidebar links into 1) current tab. 2) New tab and show 3) new tab in the background.

      One thing I notice that probably can't be helped but due to the massive volume of people on my ignore list, and all of the contest threads... every time I load any forum not just this one, it takes a long time to load. My browser locks up a bit while it processes all the BS.

      Is there any way around this?

              Wow, you must have quite the list.
              Try out the latest update. It's been streamlined quite a bit. Hopefully it'll make the difference.

                          Yeah it has improved the GFY experience quite a bit

                          I probably won't use this keyword feature though because I like confirming which threads I'm going to ignore.

                              Thanks guys, I'm glad you've found it useful.
                              I'm working on the full version release to get it out of beta. Just a few more things to work out but I think you'll be quite pleasantly surprised.

                                      I would have to say no, since I have no idea what you're talking about.
                                      But then again, I don't remember half of what I did yesterday, much less from any other days.

                                          I'm having issues with FF RC1. With other versions of FF it worked fine on another baord. Now it won't save my ingore list or import them. When I add people for some reason after awhile it takes them off.

                                              It's really ticking me off just how many changes they make to FF3 with each new release. I can't wait for it to just be final.
                                              That being said, the same is happening with my extension.

                                              I'm working on these issues and some others with the new FF by completing the full version of my extension. It will be due for release pretty soon.

                                              New features will include:
                                              - context menus: right click on a username or on a thread title and choose "add to ignore list" rather than manually typing them in or checking boxes.
                                              - by forum: users/threads will be stored/sorted by forum so that one ignored name on one forum isn't ignored on all forums (in case 2 people share the same name)
                                              - improved preferences: preferences get an update to be more streamlined by also function better. Right click on a user or forum to visit, or remove from your list quickly. Separated sections by tabs.

                                              Here's a quick peak at what I'm doing:
