Most Firefox lovers know you can add plugins called "extensions" that add functionality to the browser. What are your favorites?
mine are:
-Google Preview: Gives you a thumbnail picture of the links returned in a google search. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-Adblock Plus: Blocks ads from invading your screen. Eliminate banners.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-Adblock Filterset.G Updater: A custom updating list of ad sources for Adblock to block. Use this with Adblock Plus and you'll rarely see ads again. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-All-in-One Mouse Gestures: My favorite mouse gestures extension. Make custom mouse movements to command firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-FasterFox: Tweaks Firefox settings to optimize browsing speed.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-PDF Download: For those whose Firefox can't handle PDF's well, use this to download and open with Acrobat Reader. https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-IE View: Add an option into your toolbar or right click menu to view the current tab in Internet Explorer. *Allow Pop Up* http://downloads.mozdev.org/ieview/ieview.xpi
-Tab X: Add's a closing "X" to each tab so you can close tabs easily.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...=firefox&id=785
-AI Roboform Toolbar: Incorporates Roboform tools into Firefox, the best password and identity manager I've found. **You must have Roboform software installed on your computer: http://www.roboform.com/dist/AiRoboForm.exe **) You can hide the toolbar from view.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-1-Click Weather: Add stylish weather icons from customized locations.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensio...ication=firefox
-Sage RSS reader: A great RSS news reader that is easy to use/manage and allows you to search for an RSS feed on any site you're viewing and add it simply.
