Firefox Extensions to Check Out
Posted by shimon under computers/internet , computers/useful softwareNo Comments
The Mozilla Update site has lots and lots of extensions for Mozilla browsers. Here are my picks:
- Autocopy – automatically copy any selected text to clipboard
- Tabbrowser Preferences – tweak tab settings (includes putting an X on each tab label, not just on the right)
- AdBlock
- ForecastFox – weather forecasts in your toolbar
- DictionarySearch – get definitions via context menu
- Web Developer Toolbar – highly recommended if you develop websites
- ConQuery – query web services from the context menu; good for fiddling around with server-side scripts
- GooglePreview – adds thumbnails of result webpages to Google and Yahoo search results
- Javascript Debugger – aka Venkman
- Nuke Anything – probably superceded by AdBlock, but more straightforward. And perhaps you like advertisements…
- EditCSS – modify stylesheets, live
- AutoForm – automatically fills data into forms, such as your name and email address.
Potentially interesting:
- ieview – preview a page or link in MSIE
- SmoothWheel – smooth scrolling when using mouse wheel
- QuickNote – make annotations on web pages
I've tried a bunch of these and they work as advertised. It's great that Mozilla's extension system makes it possible for so many people to improve the product.
