Rep Power: 289750 | Firefox Extentions FF has some really good extensions and they have some that really bad ones that slow your system down. For you that are into Graphics this is a WINNER! Check it out http://www.cooliris.com/ Besides Mouse Gestures which I haven't seen available yet on 3.0 this is my favorite that doesn't have to do with security. zb1 |

Rep Power: 20570 | Re: Firefox Extentions I am simply not as "adventuresome" as I used to be... I would LOVE to hear about ANY extensions to FF that you have found to be both useful and NON resource hogs..... In other words, this tired lazy SOB would LOVE to benefit from your experience! Thanks! ps...are you still getting along well with Chrome? I still have not tried it..... |

Rep Power: 283 | Re: Firefox Extentions Snap! I am a total FF nerd and love extensions. These are must haves IMO All-in-one Gestures, if you are lazy and work at a fast pace. Autofill Forms, if you fill out form often. Cooliris, I agree with zbestwun2001 this is packed full of win. Pic Lens if you work with graphic design or need to browse through pics quickly. Foxmarks, bookmarks sync, if you use multiple computers a great way to keep bm Greasemonkey, if you trust third party script you can do almost anything KnowMore, let's you know about the impact of the web site you are using.***** NoScript, blocks harmful and malicious scripts. PDF Download, View PDFs rather then download Quitomozilla, If you are quitting smoking Split Browser, Uber nerdy but super cool. TrackMeNot. Protects against data profiling WOT, web of trust.

Rep Power: 2702 | Re: Firefox Extentions This is one I use to download YouTube videos, "DownloadHelper" so it's a must have in my boring life J/K Actually I'm so busy I can hardly get a chance to get on the internet lately https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006 And here's one "ReLoadEvery" that will Reload an Internet page every so often set it for how many seconds or minutes, cool if you have dual monitors and keep it on a site you want to watch but it doesn't renew, or for usenet downloaders like SABnzbd so the page renews and you can watch your speed as it doesn't change on it's own. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115 Last edited by Will; 09-25-2008 at 02:38 PM.. |

Rep Power: 16 | Re: Firefox Extentions FoxLingo is a cool extension which allows you to translate webpage and text between many languages, for people who need the service it's very useful. you can grab it from foxlingo.com or from the mozilla addons site. TabMixPlus & ForecastFox are also a cool extensions :) and of course AdBlock. Last edited by purple_kush; 12-21-2008 at 12:04 PM.. |

Rep Power: 289750 | Re: Firefox Extentions When adding these extensions just becareful not to get carried away. These extensions can slow the performance down. Personally I onlly use... All In One Mouse Gestures, CoolIris, PicLens, WOT (it's a security app), Fast Dial, and BBcodeXtra. zb |

Rep Power: 289750 | Re: Firefox Extentions I found a really nice add-on yesterday for FF. It is called "Read it Later" If you come upon a page, it is easy to set that page to be read later. This is really handy especially if you have a short attention span and surf the net a lot. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7661 |
