10 Firefox extensions to put a smile on your face!
You smile when you see something pleasing. You smile when you are happy that you got your work done in a quick and efficient manner. Here’s listing 10 Mozilla Firefox 3 plugins which do exactly that!
1) Piclens
This was one plugin that made my jaw drop to the floor when I saw what it could really do. It creates a neat looking wall of pictures which you can flick and zoom. It now supports a multitude of websites including Facebook, MySpace and most of the image searches. The only problem I see is that, you cant save images.
2) Thumbstrips
This plugin records all the web pages you visited in the current session and displays it like a time line. So you can go back to a certain page with a lot less hassle. And you even save your sessions and share them, if you so wish.
3) Better GMail
Think GMail is a tad too simple for your tastes? Then trick it out with this plugin, written by Gina Trapani, Lead Editor of Lifehacker. What she has basically done is, compile the best Greasemonkey scripts and pushed the GMail novelty notch higher. You can change skins, icons for attachments, see the improved labeling in action and lots more.
4) Shareaholic
Shareaholic allows you to submit any web page to a multitude of social networking sites. Can come in very handy if the page itself does not have the necessary bookmarking buttons.
5) Sxipper
Sxipper is like the extended version of the Firefox password manager. You can create different profiles for different websites and let it take care of everything else. And oh yeah, it can fill your forms as well. Goody goody gumdrops! (Yes. I am Obelix fan!)
6) Foxy Tunes
Take control of your media player from within your browser and relax. Supports a multitude of media players and is amazing for going through podcasts. And if there is something it doesn’t support is, George Bush’s penchant for attacking oil-rich countries.
7) Fast Dial
Want the very awesome Speed Dial from Opera? Here you go. And there are 12 panels to add your frequently visited websites into.
8 ) FireFTP
So, you want an FTP client, right inside Firefox? You have it, Sir! And it is as good as any other FTP client. Go, figure!
9) Foxmarks
An awesome utility to take your bookmarks with you, anywhere you go. You just need to login to Foxmarks from, lets say, your work PC to your laptop; all your bookmarks will be available over there and vice versa. An answer to Opera Sync. Goddamit, the Mozilla community has an answer to everything! (and I mean that in a very positive way!)
10) Down Them All!
The first download accelerator for Firefox in which you can do almost everything a stand-alone download application can. Split files into chunks, download all the links and images on a page, the works.
I am bloody sure I might have missed some really kick-ass plugins, so do tell me which ones, alright?
