History

I found FireBBS when I tried to switch from web to telnet, on November 2007. While it IS a wonderful extension, I felt there are some useful modifications I can make. More details about my modifications can be found here, whose file name may not be a proper one. :-)

Tips

• Copy & Paste
  • Copy as plain text: select the text you want and "^C";
  • Copy as ASCII code: use "Shift + ^C" instead of "^C";
  • Paste for both: use "Shift + ^V", NOT "^V".
• Preferences
  • Options window can be accessed through "Tools / Addons / Extensions";
  • READ THE NEXT SECTION before you enable IPSearcher;
  • To enable experimental features, you need:
    1. Go to "about:config";
    2. In the filter, search for "extensions.firebbs.experiment.";
    3. There will be:
       • "bicolorDBCS", experimental support of bicolor DBCS, enable it may introduce bugs in text & ASCII copy;
  • Also, telnet://ptt.cc/?charset=big5&fontfamily=MingLiU will work, for "charset", "fontfamily" & "fontsize".
• IPSearcher
  • All platform supported;
  • How to get a copy of QQwry.dat?
    1. Download QQwry.dat from cz88;
    2. Put it into the profile directory;
    3. Make sure the filename is "QQwry.dat", CASE SENSITIVE;
    4. Don't forget to update this file regularly.
