Title: Firefox Extensions
Post by: Tooky on January 26, 2006, 07:10:02 PM

I know I posted about FasterFox a while ago but just now I got on a bit of a spree when I found some really useful extensions. I'll make a list of what I am using so far and my source.

so far I first got:

Fasterfox, as previously posted (http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/)
Status Bar: Similar to Opera's (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=1433)
Gspace - use Gmail as an upload/download host (http://www.rjonna.com/ext/gspace.php)
ForecastFox: forecast for your region which appears at the bottom right corner (http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=705)

I found most of my extensions here, you might find more that serve you a better purpose.

I wanted the same feel as opera, just not the browser itself, since not as many websites support it. I kind of have an opera-themed Firefox.

On my laptop i use:

AdBlock - Blocks alot of annoying ads
AdBlock Filterset.G Updater - A filter, works great combined with AdBlock.
HTML Validator - HTML Validator directly in your browser, also suggests how to fix any errors
IE Tab - View the current tab in IE, inside Firfox!

It's usefull for sites that require IE. Such as windows update, some company networks, etc... Just makes it so you don't have to have a seperate IE window open.

It's good when you're making websites and want to be sure it looks the same in IE too :)
