My Top Firefox Add-ons

firefox I love Firefox and recommend the web browser to anyone I can.  Not only is the browser more secure than Internet Explorer, it has a wonderful selection of add-ons that make the browser even better.  I'm going to share the add-ons that I use that make my browsing experience that much better.

I try to keep my Firefox installation lean and mean, but sometimes I just have to have some new features.  Here are the Firefox add-ons that I use:

  • Picnik – Adds a menu when you right-click on images so that you can edit those images online at Picnik.com.
  • Save Image in Folder – Adds a menu when you right-click on images so that you can save images to custom folders that you set up.  It comes in handy when I save wallpapers I find and want to put them in the right folder.
  • Foxmarks – I’ve talked about Foxmarks before and it allows you to sync your bookmarks between multiple computers and backs them up online.
  • Ubiquity – This is an interesting add-on that really needs to be tested to see what it does.  It provides a natural language search for anything.  Check it out.
  • Fission – Adds a progress bar to the address bar. Very simple and unnecessary.
  • Greasemonkey – Allows you to run scripts written by other users to change the way websites work or function.
  • Better GCal – Adds more functionality to Google Calendar.
  • AVG Safe Search – Comes with the newest free version of AVG.  Keeps me safer online.

Let us know if there are any Firefox add-ons that you love and use everyday.
