Useful Firefox Extensions

Some Firefox extensions i regularly use.

Firefox LogoI think, Mozilla Firefox is the most advanced browser currently existing on this planet. If you have installed this nice piece of software, you're maybe interested in one or more of the extensions listed below. Have fun!

Table of contents

Adblock

Adblock is a content filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers. It is both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker. Adblock allows the user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address. If this sounds complicated, don't worry: it's not. Just add a few filters. Every time a webpage loads, Adblock will intercept and disable the elements matching your filters. See?- nothing to it. "Adblock" Homepage

Add Bookmark Here

This extension adds an option to the bookmarks menu and/or the context menu for bookmark folders that enables you to add a bookmark to that folder. This feature is present in Opera where it is called "Add page here..." and I think it's a very convenient way to keep the bookmarks sorted. "Add Bookmark Here" Homepage

Screen grab!

Screengrab saves entire webpages as images. Just install it, make sure Java is configured (Java absolutely necessary), and right-click on a page. You can save the entire page as an image (it scrolls around the page taking shots and stitches it together), just the visible portion, or the browser window. "Screen grab!" Homepage

ShowIP

ShowIP is a Mozilla Firefox extension which shows the IP Address of the current page in the browser's status bar and allows queries to different databases about it when you right click on it. The IP is colored red for an IPv4 address and green for an IPv6 address (hence the name). Since v0.7.8 these colors can be changed in the preferences menu. With a left click one can get information about the hostname of the current page. These queries are fully customizable in the settings dialog. You can also run custom local programs.

It also includes a full-featured session manager with crash recovery that can save and restore combinations of opened tabs and windows.. "Tab Mix Plus" Homepage
