firefox extensions that make my life easier
In a comment to my post about the
BugMeNot extension for Firefox, Curtis said I should list all the extensions I use with
Firefox. So, blame this post on him.
Firefox Version: 1.0
Theme: Plastikfox Crystal SVG 1.5
Extensions: (get some
here!)
-
BugMeNot: right-click in the username text field of any registration-required site and you'll (possibly) get a valid username/password. Submit, then surf.
-
DictionarySearch: select & right-click a word, opens a new tab with definition from dictionary site of your choice (I use
dictionary.com).
-
FoxyTunes: control your media player (MusicMatch Jukebox, in my case) from within your browser's status bar or toolbar.
-
Linky: adds link-related options to the context menu.
-
Gmail Notifier: integrated GMail notifier, checks mail at customizable interval, click to open GMail in new tab.
-
GooglePreview: inserts a thumbnail Web site preview in Google search results. Lets you know ahead of time if site is just going to be too heinous to visit...
-
QuickNote: like a sticky note, helpful because I have crappy handwriting and my browser is always open anyway...and if it isn't, then I'm not working so notes are irrelevant.
-
Sage: RSS/Atom feed aggregator.
-
Tab X: adds an "x"-closes-tab button in each browser tab...this really should be a standard part of the browser UI.
