Firefox extensions
« on: January 15, 2009, 12:03:11 PM »
I put a little more ram into my computer so it's working fast now & I'm thinking about switching to Firefox (I'm on Opera right now). Where can I get all the extensions???

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ is where they at..

Btw, you should try Firefox 3.1 beta 2 instead of Firefox 3.0.5..
3.1 is lightning fast..  :o

Here's a quote from my Firefox 3 thread:

What are the best extensions?

Here's a quick overview of my extensions:

Adblock Plus - Removes all ads from all sites, flash, banners, etc. Maybe the best extension ever, haven't seen ads in years.
Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper - Removes the text only ads as well.
Customize Google - Removes ads from Google & Gmail, adds links to other engines, Google Suggest, let's you customize everything about Google/Gmail.
DictionarySearch - Right-click any word for a dictionary search if you're stuck or wondering about the exact definition of a word.
DownloadHelper - Makes it easy as hell to download any Youtube video, Google Video, or any other video on a website

FireGestures - Navigating sites has never been easier with Mouse Gestures, I use these the most: Rightclick/drag left = Go back 1 site, right = forward 1 site. Rightclick/drag down = close tab, rightclick/up = undo close tab.. after using this, you'd wish for MouseGestures in every program.
FlagFox - Dispays the flag of the location of the site you're currently browing, clicking it will tell you everything about the site you're on and who owns it.
ForecastFox - Weather predictions the next few days discreetly in your browser.
FoxyTunes - Control Winamp, WMP, MediaMonkey, Itunes, or whatever, directly from your browser, without having to minimize Firefox.

IE Tab - Some wack site doesn't display properly in Firefox ? Hit the IE button, and the site opens up inside Firefox in IE, Internet Explorer inside Firefox!
ImageZoom - There's small pictures all over the net, or maybe want to zoom in on that Jessica Alba pic ? Right-click & zoom in as much as you want.
Linkification - Tired of copying/pasting all them rapidshare or sendspace links into the address-bar ? This turns text-links into clickable links.
Nightly Tester Tools - Some extension doesn't work ? This will force it to work, plus a shitload of other features.

Paste and Go 3 - Instead of copying/pasting a link, then hitting go or Enter in the address-bar, you can just right-click & Paste and Go!
PDF Download - Fuck slow ass Adobe Acrobat Reader, install lightning quick Foxit Reader and this, and PDF files will open in 1-2 seconds instead of 10-30.
QuickNote - A notepad inside Firefox for all them links, passwords, phone numbers, e-mails etc. you gotta remember. One click access.
Stop Autoplay - Disable all autoplay of embedded music & videos. Handy on Dubcc I tell ya.

Tab Mix Plus - Let's you customize everything about how tabs work/open/close, and let's you add another Close tab button like it was in Firefox 1, at the far right.
Toolbar Buttons - Makes it possible to add shortcut buttons for anything on the toolbars, Google, Gmail, Extensions, Links, Ebay, Myspace, etc. etc.
Yet Another Smooth Scrolling - Let's you set the sensitivity and configure everything about how the mouse & keyboard scrolls up and down on pages.

All these work with Firefox 3, though some of them had to be forced by using Nightly Builder Tools.  8)

Jump straight to 3.1 beta 2.. the difference in speed, memory usage and user experience will amaze you.  ;)

Of course, being a beta version, there's some small bugs, but nothing annoying, haven't had a crash yet the 2 months I've used it.

Is there an extension that lets you choose a site by clicking on the thumbnails of the sites??? Opera has something like that. & I can't find the Nightly Builder Tools extension on the add ons site.

I know what you're on too, i'm using Opera but most of the time video's dont work with it so i have to switch to Firefox. Literally the only reason i prefer Opera is that speed dial option.
