The Best Firefox Extensions?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by CanadianEh, Dec 16, 2005.

    I just jumped onto the Firefox bandwagon yesterday and its kind of exciting.

    I was amazed at the third-party extensions available. Can anyone suggest the most useful extensions?

    I like the web developer bar a lot: http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/
    and SearchStatus: http://www.quirk.co.za/searchstatus/ is really cool. With SearchStatus you can see the PageRank in text format instead of the green line as well as the Alexa Rank and related features. You have access to many SEO friendly tools at the click of a button for the site you're looking at which is very handy.
    Google toolbar is another one I use.

    It is not publicly available. I have traded it to one other person for advertising. It makes submissions so easy that I don't want it to get out to the general public because then my categories will get crowded on all the sites. :) Now people have to either spend a lot of time or pay someone to do the submissions. So, it weeds out a lot of people who would be submitting otherwise (if the tool were available). It works basically the same way as AI RoboForm, except better (for this purpose) and specifically for directory submissions (so it has the fields needed for them, whereas RoboForm does not).

    Would you sell a copy of it?

    I would be happy to pay for upgrades following a firefox update.

    (Depending on the features of course) :)

    One thing I will add... Once you are using the extension, you REALLY, REALLY start to hate sites that use image validation. The reason is because you can basically submit immediately to sites that do not, but if a site uses image validation, you have to take the time to enter it. :) hehe

    I love the new DownThemAll! and prefer IETab to IEView. PDF Download is pretty hand, too.

    I really liked the idea of IETab, but I read on some sites that it was very buggy and caused a lot of crashes. This has not been your experience? Does it have the ability to always open certain sites in the IE tab similar to how IE View works?

    I like the extension that shows your Adsense account on the bottom of the browser. Saves me lots of time from logging into Adsense and counting my pennies. :)

    It would be cool if people could post what they like about the extension or some short blurb about the extensions so I'll know if there's any that I want to check out. I know some people have been doing this but there have been a lot mentioned that I don't know anything about.

    I just switched to firefox and must say it's great.
    It's good for regions with slow internet connections. Its really working smooth and fast.
    I use also 'fasterfox' extention, no waitings when you go on a large site from one page to another.

    InFormEnter is a very good extension for submitting sites to directories.

    You can define different custom fields for each webite, including multiple descriptions, which allows you to submit multiple sites to directories in a fraction of the time.

    InFormEnter

    what I like most about fire fox is that it handles passwords better for a lot of sites. With IE there are a lot of sites I have to keep a book of passwords and look them up, but fire fox is able to fill them in for me...
    And being able to tab to a new window is probably the 2nd thing that saves me time, it is a lot better than opening a new window then trying to hunt it down again when you need it.
