"A MUST HAVE for any FireFox user!"
Version: BugMeNot 1.3
Pros
I was so tired of having to register on millions of news sites just to read an article or two, and then getting spam because I gave out my email. Bugmenot has made my surfing for news articles a pleasant experience again. Now I can maintain my privacy and not spend hours filling out stupid registration pages just so I can view free content on news sites.
Cons
Doesn't work on ALL sites. Please know that this NOT for use with "pay" or "non free sites". It's not perfect, sometimes it will put the username and password into the wrong fields if the web page has "username" or "email" in more than one place (like youtube for example). But you can just copy and paste the username and pass into the correct fields by hand and it's still WAY faster and easier to do this than to give out all your personal info and then register and get a bunch of spam.

"Great extension"
Version: BugMeNot 1.3
Pros
logs into pretty much all free-registration website with one click (automatically tries new passwords after one pair fails). Saves so much hassle and protects your privacy to some extent. (The reviews that complain about manually trying to pick passwords were about old versions, and for the guy who wanted playboy password: bugmenot.com and the bugmenot extension is not for paysites! Get a grip.
Cons
It is not listed on FF extension site, presumably 'cause the author wants to increase traffic to his own site.

"works sometimes"
Version: BugMeNot 0.6.2
Pros
can access lots of sites with this extension
Cons
the information is relied on people who sign up on the website and submit the information to bugmenot. Most of the people who submit, give fake passwords.

"Does't work"
Version: BugMeNot 0.6.1
Pros
Its a great idea which might one day actually be good...
Cons
But for now, it almost never works, the passwords are almost all dead. I recommend not downloading this till they update it and come up with a solution.

"Great Idea that Rarely Works"
Version: BugMeNot 0.6.1
Pros
It's a great idea -- in theory. I really hate being badgered by obscure sites to fill out forms to read one crummy article. When this app works, I feel like I've triumphed over advertising tyranny.
Cons
Unfortunately, I've found that it rarely works. You just waste your time cycling through passwords that get rejected by the site, usually none of them work. It works for me about once out of every eight attempts.

"Great"
Version: BugMeNot 0.6.1
Summary
Perfect and necessary for every Firefox user.

"Never actually works"
Version: BugMeNot 0.6.1
Summary
This is a great idea and most likely a great download if the product actually worked. By the time you go through all the logins to find one that works (if you ever do), you could have just registered for the site in question. Nice try roachfiend.
