Quite handy little things these extensions but there are loads to sort through. I just thought people could put up any that they have found and use.

I currently have :

Forecastfox
- gives weather forecast for your area and sits neatly in the status bar (or wherever you want it). Essential for fair weather riders Wink

Fasterfox - Tweaks settings in Firefox for faster browsing

VideoDownloader - Download videos from site like youtube etc with a click of the mouse

So what do you use?

Stumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Its fucking great way of wasting time. Basically you select categories that you find interesting then click stumble and it will randomly take you to a website which matches you category. THe beauty is that it has a user rating system so you tend 'stumble' across some top notch sites. 5 stars Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I don't have Firefox extentions because I can't find any that are the same colour as my hair.

I've just installed a new one called Cooliris Previews. After Googling something just hover the mouse over the search result you're interested in to see the page in a pop up window that appears in your current window - like a big tooltip Thumbs Up

Yep you'll need firefox to use firefox extentions.

Once you have it if you click one of the tabs at the top, think it's tools that has the extentions on it, after that it's fairly self explanitory, it'll direct you to the mozilla extensions page to download from.

Colour Picker (don't ask me why!).
Thunderbird (not technically a plugin, but Firefox-related nonetheless).

Thanks for Cooliris Previews!

I can't find Adblock; the one that needs to be installed before Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.0.4. Confused
