Must Have Firefox Extensions

I’d like to share my current list of FireF0x extentions installed on my browser. I’m sure a lot of Firefox users already have at least half of them. This will also encourage others to try the Firefox browser for a change.

  • FoxyTunes – places remote controls for the media player of your choice within Firefox so you can control your music without leaving your browser.
  • GoogleBar – Google toolbar for Firefox, with many of the features of the IE version.
  • FireFTP – a cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
  • ShowIP – Show the IP address of the current page in the status bar. It also allows querying custom services by IP (right mouse button) and Hostname (left mouse button), like whois, netcraft.
  • Target Alert – Provides visual cues for the destinations of hyperlinks.
  • AdSense Notifier – Displays your adsense earnings on the statusbar.
  • Tabbrowser Preferences – Enables enhanced control for some aspects of tabbed browsing.
  • Download Manager Tweak – A modification of the Firefox download manager that changes its appearance and allows it to be opened in a separate window, a new tab, or the sidebar.
  • StumbleUpon- StumbleUpon lets you “channelsurf” the best-reviewed sites on the web. It is a collaborative surfing tool for browsing, reviewing and sharing great sites with like-minded people. This helps you find interesting webpages you wouldn’t think to search for.
