FfvB v2
v 2.2.4

The ultimate vBulletin message board extension for Firefox is reborn. If you use Firefox, if you visit vBulletin message boards, you must give this a try.
 
 
Ignore Features:
With FfvB, you can ignore users, threads, prefixe and keywords.
Users: Ignoring a user will strip their posts, threads and even their quotes out of the page as if they never existed! It even works on the newreply.php page where it shows you a streamlined list of posts under the textarea.
Threads: If you wish to place a thread on the ignore list but don't want to ignore the person who started it, right click on the thread and place it on ignore. This will strip the thread out of the thread list.
Keywords: You can place a 'keyword' on ignore and any instance matching that keyword will be removed, including threads, posts and quotess.
Avatars and Sigs: vBulletin comes with options in the UserCP to turn off Avatars and Signatures but this is a universal function, meaning that ALL avatars and signatures will disappear. If you wish to place a select few on ignore but not all, right click on them and put them on your ignore list.
Highlight Features: 
Converse to ignore, you can now place items on your highlight list, making things much easier to find. You can highlight a user, a thread, a prefix or keywords. Highlighting users will highlight their threads, posts and quotes within other user's posts.
Highlighting keywords will highlight the thread or post, but also the actual keyword that it matches within the text. Should a keyword match and become highlighted, the filter will still continue and highlight the thread or post the color of a matched user or thread while still keeping the keyword itself highlighted. This adds an extra level of highlighting!

Bottom Bar:

For added convenience, a bottom bar is automatically attached to the bottom of Firefox when visiting vBulletin sites. This is a feature which can be turned off in the preferences.

On the bar you will find the breadcrumb navigation (forum drill down links), page navigation, handy links (search, usercp, new thread, new reply) as well as some handy links for working with FfvB itself.

Also, the color of both the background and text is customizable to match your favorite board.

 Subscriptions:

You can now "subscribe" to your favorite forums (even if they're just subforums) and view all of the thread lists in a single tab. Each forum will auto reload at intervals of your choosing (30s, 60s, 120s, etc) and are displayed in easy to read black on white text with no images.

Sidebar: 

Very closely resembling the subscriptions page, this feature loads a single forum's thread list into Firefox's sidebar so that you can continue to see threads being created and bumped as you browse other sites.

Import/Export: 

New in 2.2.3, there is now a feature in the preferences where you can simply copy and paste your FfvB saved lists from one installation to another and your information will be available in each copy of Firefox!

Replacement Boxes: 

If you've ever ignored someone using vBulletin's ignore feature, you will recognize the replacement box stating "this user is on your ignore list, click here to view"... 

This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in the preferences and all ignored users, threads, prefixes, keywords, avatars and sigs wil lbe replaced with a box stating what was ignored and why, with an option to view.

Magic Paste: 

On forums without the "enhanced textarea" which shows images directly within it, magic paste (on by default) will automatically add the [IMG][/IMG] tags when pasting a jpg, gif or png into a post.
