    Hi Shivanand,
    After thinking a little i've made an application to "clear" (erase) unused localization on Firefox's addons. It work in my PC, reducing extension folder size from 20 MB to only 6 MB. I've only use en-US (because Firefox is mostly English) and es-ES (despite the fact that i'm from Argentina).
    I don't have a website, so, could i send it to you (source code included) to publish it in your website?

    Thanks!

    Sure. Also please have some basic documentation with it. Perhaps when and how should one use it and what to expect after using it.

    Thanks again.
    I forgot to mention that the application was made with Visual Basic 6 and it only run in Windows. (Sorry GNU/Linux users, i know too little). It use the 7-Zip Command Line Version (which i can add to the zip file because its size, but it can be downloaded at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7za465.zip)

    Attached is the zip (renamed as jpg because allowed files)

    Hope you like it...
    I'm looking forward for your answer.

    Update: Please visit http://dentrodelsubconsciente.blogspot.com/ for more information and downloads.

    This might has nothing to do with the application (because only modify the \extensions\ folder, not the Firefox itself), but now i'm having a trouble with the Save dialog (that which says "What Firefox would do with this file?" (or something like that). The width is very small. There was a mention to sizetoContent in DownThemAll forum, (already fixed?) but, neither creating a new profile, neither using an older version of Firefox (3.5RC3 and 3.5RC2) solve this problem.

    Any help? In fact, is more annoying than other thing.

    Update: no, it's not my problem.
    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1328145 has also the same problem
    and DownThemAll is trying to solve it (http://bugs.code.downthemall.net/trac/ticket/1209)
    It looks like a FX3.5 error/bug.

    Looks like the attachments in the forums are broken. I'm working on a fix.
