I found Tab Mix Plus, but I kind of hate its execution. Oh well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

wow, that's a handy option. I have never heard of that, Jessica.

and guess what? one of my favorite extensions does this if you enable the option ----> tabkit

Now tagless for your comfort.

If one wanted to download a video from YouTube to use in a PowerPoint presentation, how would one go about doing it?

Cashmere, what kind of computer are you on?

I tried that but got a very strange result--just a loud blip and a streak of light.

However, turns out I had downloaded a program called Any Video Converter to get some clips off of my motorola Q and I could use that to pull stuff off of YouTube and convert it to an mpeg or wmv.

Then I just insert the file into the PP presentation.

So I guess I should have pressed some buttons and then saw what happened.

All is well that ends in pizza.

There is a Firefox add-on that i added that lets me "override all compatibility" on extensions not officiallly updated for the current version of firefox.

"Nightly tester tools"

it can't fix them all, but I've had a lot of success.

Thanks LeN, I'll have a look at Tabkit.

I turned off a few things in Tab Mix Plus and it's much less annoying now.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Is there another (current) extension that will do this? Remembering to Ctl-T every time I want a new tab is a PITA.

word. i actually just switched to Firefox and that's one thing that's driving me nuts.

If one wanted to download a video from YouTube to use in a PowerPoint presentation, how would one go about doing it?

I have the YouPlayer extension in Firefox installed and it does that, Cash. i haven't actually used it yet, but it seems simple enough. [link]
