Firefox add-ons

Posted in Software by (kb) on June 19, 2008

Like so many others I installed Firefox 3 on Download Day. Next I customized it by installing several add-ons:

  • The Delicious Bookmarks extension “integrates your browser with del.icio.us by augmenting the bookmarking functionality in Firefox”.
  • Firebug integrates with Firefox “to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page”.
  • FireShot is “a Firefox extension that creates screenshots of web pages.Unlike other extensions, this plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers.It’s possible to choose whether entire web page or only visible part of this page should be captured.Screenshots can be uploaded to server, saved to disk (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP), copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing”.
  • Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer. Keeps your bookmarks synchronized across your computers and provides online access to them as well.
  • Sage-Too (NOT sage !) “a lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension. It’s got more of what you need and not much of what you don’t”. Feeddemon is my default aggregator, but I use this extension as well.
  • ScribeFire is “a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog”. It doesn’t beat blogjet or live writer, but still.
  • The Web Developer extension “adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools”.

If you do not like the default theme of Firefox, than you might like the NASA Night Launch theme which gives you a nice dark look.

Update: I’ll write a post about how I keep my bookmarks and RSS feeds organized across different computers I use. Later. Later.
