My Favorite Firefox Extensions
I decided I’d better list some of the extensions that I really enjoy having around the most in firefox. Right now, I have 13 extensions installed, but the really good ones are as follows:
- All-in-One Gestures lets me use mouse gestures for a few things (still using hotkeys for a lot of stuff). UL/UR for switching tabs left/right and RLR to close a tab are really the only ones I really use.
- Sage reads RSS feeds in a handy sidebar. Who knew it could be so easy to check a bunch of sites for updates?
- FlashGot lets you use an external download manager and also queue up a bunch of links on a single page for download at once.
- Adblock preserves my www sanity.
- Forecastfox puts 3 days of weather in my status bar. Oh boy do I like this one.
- Web Developer is an a must-have tool for any web developer. It gives you a giant toolbar for doing all sorts of stuff.
- SessionSaver should have been (and may be in the future from what I’ve heard) bundled with Firefox. It makes firefox start with the same tabs and windows open as there were before. (even in the unlikely event of a crash!) Opera has done this for some time, and ff kinda annoyed me by not doing it.
- ColorZilla is a nice extension that will let you pick colors out of a web page among other things… although somewhere along the way, it decided something about my system wasn’t compatible with it’s ColorPicker feature… so it doesn’t exactly work for me right now.
- All-in-One Sidebar (original author’s site this time) puts a whole lot of really useful goodies in your sidebar! I actually only just discovered this one while link-hunting for this article, and I am very impressed!
Comment with your favorites please!
