URL Flipper for Firefox Description

URL Flipper is a Firefox extension which offers shortcut keys to increment and decrement numbers and strings in URLs for quick navigation through URL sequences.Don't extensions like this already exist?Yes, similar extensions do exist. First, there is Magpie, which was the extension that I was using before I wrote URL Flipper. URL Flipper was inspired by Magpie in the sense that it was modeled after Magpie and that it was written mostly to address a number of the bugs and shortcomings in Magpie's digit flipper tool. URL Flipper is also more fully-featured than Magpie. Finally, URL Flipper does not contain any of Magpie's media download tools, so it is designed for people who want a URL increment utility without the extra unrelated features.Another tool that is similar in function is the Location Navigator extension. I had considered using this extension instead of writing my own, but I had wanted more functionality (such as the ability to handle non-decimal input or mixed alphanumeric input) and I wanted that functionality to be presented in a simpler, less complicated way. In some respects, Location Navigator is more fully-featured, with toolbar buttons and options dialogs, and in some respects, URL Flipper has more fully-featured, with more robust data type handling. URL Flipper was consciously designed to be more spartan in its presentation: there are no toolbar buttons (it is designed to be invoked by keyboard shortcuts) and there are no options dialogs. URL Flipper is small in size and has a lightweight code base. This may appeal to some people but not to others.Product's homepage
