My "Handy Firefox Extension" list
Submitted by Dan White on September 3, 2006 - 12:21pm
One of Firefox's strengths is the ability to add "extensions" to the browser. These little additions to Firefox can greatly extend the functionality of the browser.
Here I put my favorites and what they do. I don't expect the list to be fully implemented with anyone else as everyones needs are different, but maybe the odd nugget of information may help you.
- del.icio.us - Integrates del.icio.us into Firefox. Keep, share and discover all your favorite things.
- Adblock - Filters ads from web-pages
- NoScript - Extra protection for your Firefox: NoScript allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content only for trusted domains of your choice, e.g. your home-banking web site.
- VideoDownloader - Download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion... and other 60+ video sites
- IE Tab(Windows only) - Embeds Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox.
- Tab Mix Plus - enhances Firefox's tab browsing capabilities.
- DownThemAll! - download manager.
- Adblock Filterset.G Updater - companion extension to Adblock or Adblock Plus
- Greasemonkey - Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays.
- Platypus - lets you modify a Web page from your browser -- "What You See Is What You Get" -- and then save those changes as a Greasemonkey script so that they'll be repeated the next time you visit the page
- Firefox Showcase - to easily locate and select any open browser window in Firefox.
