Firefox must have plugins/extensions for fun and productivity
Firefox is very innovative and advanced browser. Every body should try to use it atleast once. tab browsing, extension and speed are some of the factors. Its improving day by day.
Extension are very powerful feature.Means you can extend your browser to unlimited possibilities rather than using simply for the browsing. Today extension for every popular website or web service exists from Facebook, Gmail, twitter, meembo, ftp etc.
Here some of my favorite and top extension’s reviews.
Gladder -> Gladder is very useful and powerful extension . it gives you option of 100s of proxies available in the world. you just have to add the site you want to proxy in the list of sites.
suppose you are in office want to browse some blocked content. just enter the url and press gladder button on status bar of FF. It will randomly fetch a proxy and pass it to that proxy and fetch the results. various site that are blocked like
gmail.com,
orkut.com,
hotmail
facebook
can be accessed with this beautiful extension.
just click on the gladder icon , a ladder will be appear on the same icon. it means now you are using the gladder. so every site added under the gladder will be open using a proxy.
some proxy might not work. no issue. you can right click the gladder and choose change proxy. a new proxy will be used to display the same page. even you can un-proxy the current page.

here last icon is gladder.
here you will enter the sites you want to proxy.
Gmarks: for sync with the google bookmarks across browser. xmarks or foxmarks also good but with this you need another accound. to see existing bookmarks you need to go on to the website. so very time consuming process. that’s why gmarks is good.
FireFTP : it is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers. you need not to install a separate ftp client on your machine. just add a extension of Fire Ftp in firefox and enjoy this fantastic extension. It has full functionality of a desktop ftp client.
FlashGot. suppose You were watching a video on youtube or dailymotion. it took around 25 min to stream the video on your computer. now you liked the video and want it in you disk collection. but it will again take 25 min to download on your computer.
don’t worry flashgot is here. when any video stream on the FireFox a streaming icon is displayed on your FireFox status just before the list of extension. after the completion of video streaming , just click on that. it will automatically download the streamed video to your disk without again going to the server. Above is also same for mp3 files.
another useful features:
you can download all images including hidden one with just one click using flashgot.
and lot more. for more see the site.
for web developers.
1. Web Developer toolbar. Its very useful having very excellent feature required by a web developer. a must one for any web D.
2. Firebug. most admired extension in firefox history. It is very powerful extension. you can change full page withoug going on server and see the output. it saves hours of developer and designer’s time. Before it life was very difficult for finding any UI related issue.
