Anyone recommend any Firefox add-ons that they use?
My recommendations are:
Firegestures
By holding down a set button (mines the right button on the mouse) you can set it to do different things such as refresh the page, open new tabs, close them, switch to next/previous tab and even open a tab and go to a certain URL.
GooglePreview
When you search using Google you get a small thumbnail preview of the page that link corresponds to.
Text Link
Some websites do not convert URL addresses to actual links so you have to copy and paste it into your URL bar or select the link and use the right click menu.
With text Link you just double click on the link and it opens in a new tab, easy as... well anything really.
Text-To-Image
If there is a link on the page that leads to an image then this add-on converts it into a thumbnail, when you hover your mouse over it, it enlarges the thumbnail, can be a pain if there are a lot of links to images on the page but so far I've not had any problem with this.
UnPlug
Using this, you can download ANY video from video sites like YouTube, so for all you guys (and girls) who get your music, how should I say it? Via questionable means, now have a back up in case you can't acquire the music you want, when you want it.
Also coupling this with a few other programmes such as FLV Audio Extractor and FLV video converter you can either rip the audio from the video or convert it into another format for use on your Ipod or other portable media player
And just as I'm about to post this my connection goes also, while I wait for my connection to sort itself out, I woke up this morning with a random cut on the back of my knuckle
A-ha here we go
