If you are not already using Firefox, download it! It is a much better browser than Internet Explorer – safer, faster and you can add extensions to it that do lots of cool things.
Some of my favourite Firefox extensions…
Firefox extensions
- Adblock Plus – block adverts and speed up your browsing! It is customisable too.
- British English Dictionary
- ColorZilla – pick a colour on the webpage and copy the RGB or hex ref to clipboard.
- Delicious Bookmarks – bookmark pages quickly and share them on Delicious.
- Firebug – helps web developers debug JavaScript errors.
- FireShot – takes screenshots of web pages, edit them, save them, upload them. Great for web developers.
- Flashblock – stops Flash from playing automatically. Instead, you choose if you want a Flash movie to play.
- FlashGot – popular download manager that helps you download multiple files from one page, plus other features.
- Forecast Fox – automatically fetches the weather forecast now and for the next 5 days for any location you wish.
- Foxclocks – tells you the timezone in multiple cities around the world. Excellent when calling friends overseas.
- IE Tab – useful for viewing pages that only work in IE (without having to open IE itself).
- Launchy
- MeasureIt
