browser is that it allows the installation of extensions to make surfing easier. Here’s a list of the Firefox extensions that I’ve been using that makes my life easier and some of them come from the list at 50 Best Firefox Extensions for Power Surfing1. Tab Mix Plus - Ability to select and open muliple links in tabs, open link in a duplicated tab, merge tabs and close tabs from similar domain. Crash manager can save and restore current tab sessions. Great time saver in case you accidentally shut off your pc.
2. Fasterfox - Speed up Firefox. Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with Fasterfox’s unique pre-fetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing. Also tweaks many network and rendering settings. Does not work on all websites though.
3. DownThemAll! - adds new advanced downloading capabilities to your browser. It lets you download in just one click all the links or images contained in a webpage or refine your preferences using fully customizable filters. Easy if you want to get tons of images saved at once.
4. AutoCopy - Select text on any web page and it will be automatically copied to the clipboard. Middle click to Paste. This function works just like a command line window in Solaris.
5. Copy Plain Text - Copies text without formatting. Have you ever copied something and been annoyed that the text formatting (bold, font size, etc) came with it? Don’t you wish you could just copy the text itself, without having to copy it, paste it into notepad, then copy it again? Bloggers and Writers will love this. So will pirates !
6. Copy URL5 - copy to the clipboard the current document’s address along with additional information such as the document’s title, the current text selection or both. Customize it to add your own menu entries. You might find this behavior useful when you want to send (IM, email) an interesting link to a friend and out of convenience you don't want to copy the link and an explanation of what the link is in a single step.
7. gTranslate - translate any text in a webpage just by selecting and right-clicking over it. Uses the Google translation services.
8. Stealther - surf the web without leaving a trace in your local computer by *temporarily disabling history (and address bar), cookies, formFill, disk cache and sending of ReferrerHeader. Verify details of what exactly it can work for you.
Lastly, I’m including email notifiers for Gmail and Yahoo Mail. I can’t live without them….sigh
9. Gmail Notifier - checks and notifies your email in Gmail accounts.
10. AJAX Yahoo! Mail - Preview your messages with a single click. Adds
