Best extensions for Firefox 2 - Page 2

pc_guy · February 3rd, 2007

This is a good add-on for any web designers/developers out there.
It ads a tonne of features, including one that I use all the time, resizing the web browser window to standard sizes, 800x600, 1024x768, very handy for testing layouts.

There is ways to display/outline certain elements, validate links, edit CSS, too many to list here.

I just found a new add-on for Firefox. It's a dictionary extension. All you have to do is highlight a word, right click it and then choose "Look Up."

Works great.

Dictionary Extension.

For those who are used to Internet Explorer, Having to go to the menu or press F11 is a bit of a pain. You can add this handy Full Screen button to the toolbar. (I like!)

Panda showed me a nice one, Media Pirate, it lets you rip streaming video of pages. It's easy to use. Forecast Fox is also invaluable to me.

other then that it all depends on the computer it is used on

Here are two more FF extensions. The first is a simple calender/reminder called ReminderFox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1191

The second is Tabbrowser Preferences which "replaces the existing user interface with a new more visible user interface..." I use it to open all new tabs to my home page. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/158

(FF might be slow opening, but these add-ons are making me fall in love!)
