My favourite Firefox add-ons

Howdy! Folks.

I use Firefox for my daily browsing needs. Firefox 3.0 is the latest release of this browser. This new release of Firefox is supposedly really good. If you see the release notes on mozilla's website you would know how much work has gone into making this a better browser than Firefox 2.
One of reasons why I use Firefox is the ability to install add-ons to streamline its functionality according to our needs. So, here are some of my favourite Firefox add-ons..

• AdBlock Plus:Great tool to block all those flashy banner ads.
• Better Gmail2:A must have if you use gmail regularly
• Video DownloadHelper:Lets you download videos from sites like YouTube.
• DownThemAll:A handy download manager for firefox.
• Google Notebook:A great note taking app integrated right into firefox. If you install it, do check out the "Clip" feature.
• Google Toolbar:I just can't live without Google toolbar, don't ask me why.
• Greasemonkey:Lets you customise the appearance and behaviour of webpages by using little javascript. There are a crazy lot of scripts available on the net even if you don't know javascript.
• NoScript:You have got to install it, if you are paraniod about web security. NoScript lets you turn off javascript and flash on selective web pages.
• PDF Download:Tired of waiting for that pdf document to load in your browser? Enter "PDF Download". Choose what you want to do with that pdf link. Pretty nifty.

All the above extensions are Firefox 3.0 compatible. Do check them out and you can always uninstall them if you don't find them useful.
If you are looking for more extensions, you could head Mozilla addons website. Someone sent me this compilation of Firefox add-ons for librarians. But it's not just for librarians so, do visit that URL if you want to find out about more add-ons. They may all not be compatible with Firefox 3 though.
