SmarterFox 2.1.2 screws up Google Reader

image

SmarterFox is a Firefox add-on that has some remarkable features. It adds useful functionality to Firefox. I liked SmarterFox until today. The current version has changed the way that Google Reader displays, adding its “endless page” feature to the Reader and in so doing, obscures the page header, as can be seen in the image below.

Attaching the SmarterFox endless page feature to Google Reader means the page will never stop “Loading…” as there are hundreds of thousands of old RSS feed items to catalog.

SmarterFox 2.1.2 also changed the way that the Google search page displays. This has made an elegantly simple page ugly. I wish there was a way to disable these features on selected URLs.
