Filed under: Misc., Tips & Tricks — admin @ 1:35 pm

These are the Firefox extensions that I can not live without:

Adblock Plus
Great for blocking unwanted ads.

BugMeNot
Get access to sites that require registration

Delicious Bookmarks
Online bookmarking site. Great if you do work on more than one computer.

Delicious Complete
More options for del.icio.us

Download Status Bar
Puts download status at the bottom of your browser; IE no annoying pop-up panel

Foxcast
Weather for your area

Foxy Proxy
Allows you to proxy based on regular expressions.

Gmail Notifier
Notifies you when you have new email.

Gmail Space(GSpace)
Allows you to use your Gmail account as an ftp site.

Meebo
Integrates Meebo with your browser.

Show IP
Shows IP address of the current page in the status bar. Great for trouble shooting sites that could be on multiple servers.

Stumble Upon
The first known time machine. What do I mean? For some reason once you click the button, four hours of your life will disapear!!

Tamper Data
If you have to trouble shoot web sites, this is a great tool. It allows you to view and modify HTTP/HTTPS headers. It also tracks and times requests.
