The Firefox Extensions Post

leave a comment »

First let’s go over the best resources for firefox info, tips, and tricks.

  1. Know your firefox shortcuts
  2. Check out lifehacker’s Firefox 3 Power User Guide
  3. Tweakguide’s Firefox tweaks
  4. Bookmarks backup and view on any computer with the delicious plugin or foxmarks (discussed below)

First let’s go over the best resources on the web for top firefox plugins:

  1. QuickOnlineTips’ “50 Best Firefox Extensions”
  2. BestCollegesOnline’s “50 Firefox Plugins that Will Change the Way You Surf”
  3. eConsultant’s “I want a Firefox extension to…” (BTW eConsultant has some killer tool lists)
  4. Mashable’s “FIREFOX GOD: 300 tools for firefox”

More will be added to this list as I discover additonal resources.

Ok, so here is my outstanding firefox plugin list:

  1. Adblock Plus with Easylist subscription:  blocks web advertizing
  2. All-in-One Sidebar:  provides an easier-to-manage interface for firefox features
  3. Autofill Forms:  Auto-fills web forms. But personally, I use 1Password on the mac.
  4. BugMeNot
  5. Delicious Bookmarks:  Replaces the firefox bookmark function: this is Bookmarks On Steroids. I use it to throw any useful useful bookmarks in there that I find on the web.
  6. DownloadHelper
  7. DownThemAll
  8. Fast Dial
  9. Firebug
  10. FireGestures:  Essential. Allows most firefox features to be applied by simply moving the mouse.
  11. Foxmarks:  Essential resource for backing up your firefox bookmarks, if you don’t use delicious.com
  12. Gmail Manager:  Useful if you need a persistant gmail checker and you don’t have another program that does this.
  13. Greasemonkey:  Some people swear by this. It can add custom features to your favorite websites.
  14. GTDInbox
  15. IE Tab:  Important for firefox on windows. Switches to viewing the current page in Internet Explorer (if firefox isn’t viewing it properly, which is a rare event unless it’s some stupid Silverlight site you’re trying to look at.)
  16. Link Diagnosis
  17. SeoQuake
  18. Web Developer
  19. Yoono
