PNWC’s Favorite FireFox Plugin’s
Here at Pacific NorthWest Computers’ we love Firefox.
Not just because it’s smart, cute and bubbly (in fact until 3.5.1 we were shying away; Chrome) Anyway, what we LOVE about Firefox is all of the add-ons there are for it! Media players, download status tool bars, shake-a-baby… Uhh… how did that get in there!?
Back to the main topic!
What we wanted to do is share our favorite, most recommended & most used Firefox Plug-in’s! So please, I hope they are all seriously considered by many and all readers! Enjoy!
- BetterPrivacy; Ever wondered why you are still tracked though you tried everything to prevent it? BetterPrivacy is a Super Cookie Safeguard which protects from usually not deletable LSO’s. It blocks longterm tracking on Google, YouTube Ebay and many others…
- Colorful Tabs; The most beautiful yet the simplest add-on that makes a strong colorful appeal. Colors every tab in a different color and makes them easy to distinguish while beautifying the overall appearance of the interface.
- Cooliris; Simply the fastest and most stunning way to browse photos and videos from the Web or your desktop. Effortlessly scroll an infinite “3D Wall” of your content from Facebook, Google Images, YouTube, Flickr…
- Firebug; Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page…
- FireFTP; A free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
- Flagfox; Displays a country flag depicting the location of the current website’s server and provides quick access to detailed location and webserver information.
- Lazarus: Form Recovery; Never lose anything you type into a web form again! Lazarus securely auto-saves all forms as you type, so after a crash, server timeout, or whatever, you can go back to the form, right click, “recover form”, and breath a sigh of relief.
- Long URL Please; Replaces short urls with the originals so you can see where links actually link to.
- NoScript; The best security you can get in a web browser! Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks.
- Read it Later; Read It Later allows you to save pages of interest to read later. It eliminates cluttering of bookmarks with sites that are merely of a one-time interest.
- WOT; Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory.
- Xmarks; Install Xmarks on all your computers to keep your bookmarks and (optionally) passwords backed up and synchronized; never loose a bookmark again!
- SortPlaces; Allows you to sort your bookmarks in various ways; no more scattered Firefox bookmarks! The Bookmarks Organiser within Firefox does have some sort options, but these are not permanent.
- Omnibar; I love how with Google Chrome, the location/address bar is also the search bar. So what Omnibar does is it integrates the location bar and search bar into one! It will show search and url suggestions and can quickly switch search engine using search keywords!
