7 Cool Firefox Add-ons
Date: 27 Mar 2010 / Author: SeanParsons / Views: 11851 / Comments: 9
One of the coolest things about Firefox is its extensibility. Everyone has their collection of favorite Firefox add-ons and I thought I would share
mine. Some provide improved organization, some have a certain "WOW!" factor, and others just look pretty.
After you check out my list, I
would also like to know which ones you use the most.
XSTICKY
With Xsticky you can easily create simple sticky-notes on every web
page. They're great for jotting notes that relate to specific web pages. In the above image I'm reminding my self about some articles I need to work
on. In the image below I'm using it as a note for the things I want to demonstrate to my student about how to use the Electronic Orange
Book.
FOX SPLITTER
Fox Splitter splits the content area of the browser window as you like. I find it useful when I do on-line exams that way
I can look at the article the exam is based on while answering questions. This was one of Konqueror's features that I was sorely missing till I came
across this plug-in.
COOLPREVIEWS
CoolPreviews allows you to preview links and images without leaving your current page or tab. Just mouseover any link,
and a separate preview window appears to show you the content. You can even click on links in your new preview window.
LINKCHECKER
LinkChecker check the
validity of links on any web page. This is especially useful if you have a list of Links that you want to double check whether it's your del.icio.us
bookmarks or something else.
PERSONAS PLUS
Personas Plus provides easy-to-install "skins" for Firefox. Choose from over 60,000 cool designs, including art from Harry Potter, Bob
Marley, or The Linux Box. You can check out my Persona here: https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/139796
FOXTAB
FoxTab brings innovative 3D
functionality to Firefox. Not only does this add-on have a certain whiz-bang factor, but it really does provide a useful way to scroll through your
tabs when you have a lot of tabs open.
SCREENGRAB
WARNING: If you click to see the full sized version, it is a very large image.
Screengrab will capture what you can see in the
window, the entire page, just a selection, a particular frame... basically it saves web pages as images - either to a file, or to the clipboard. It
captures Flash too!
Feel free to comment below about either these add-ons or your own favorites below.

I mostly use Tabscope, Adblock and FlashGot. I just added CoolPreviews and Foxtab to the list.

@Bobby,
FlashGot looks pretty cool, I'll have to play with it later and decide if it's going to become an add-on I keep on all my desktops.

I just tried CoolPreviews. It's the coolest thing that I ever saw in a browser. Thanks for the tips :)
