Firefox Add-ons I Recommend
This is a list of firefox add-ons that I use and find very useful. I will update this entry if I find other very useful add-ons or if the ones of this list lose favor with me.
- Download statusbar: This add-on creates a status-bar at the bottom of the browser to manage downloads, rather than popping up a separate window to manage them, as firefox normally does. Not only does the status-bar save screen real estate, but it also keeps the download manager out of your way.
- NoScript: This is a great add-on for managing which sites can run java, and javascript. It does this by assuming that a site is forbidden from running java and javascript unless you add the site to a whitelist. Not only is this add-on good from a security point of view, but it also helps limit how annoying a website can be.
- Swift tabs: Firefox has integrated lots of the support that tabbing add-ons provide, but it still does not have support for keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs. This add-on allows you assign such shortcuts.
- Snap links: This allows you to use the mouse to draw a rectangle around a group of links on a website, that you wish to view, and each of those links will be opened in separate tabs. This is particularly useful when using search engines.
