Scriptlets

A Scriptlet is a new add-on type that is the combination of a button and a bookmarklet, and it can re-use any existing bookmarklet.

Typically I find that I lose my bookmarklets because they get lost in my mountain of bookmarks, so I never use them, even tho there are some useful ones out there, and they are extremely easy to make.

Scriptlets are much easier, for starters they are completely separated from bookmarks, but they also include toolbar buttons which can be moved to any part of the user interface that I want. This means that Scriptlets can be moved to the add-on bar, the navigation bar, toolbars, and lots of other places!

How To Install Scriptlets

In order to install a Scriptlet, right-click on a bookmarklet, and click the ‘Make Scriptlet’ button. Once this is done you find the Script in about:addons.

Scriptlets Provide Toolbar Buttons

Once you make a Scriptlet a toolbar button will be automatically added to your navigation bar (aka navbar). See the top right of your browser.

Scriptlets Are Add-ons

Because Scriptlets are treated as first class add-ons, they can be managed in Firefox’s Add-on Manager. This will be where you enable/disable, or uninstall a Scriptlet.
