Firefox Extensions

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Speaking of Firefox, I’d like to invite some comments. What extensions for Firefox do you consider must-haves, and why?

Right now my Firefox install has only 3 extensions.



GoogleBar, because I got used to using a browser toolbar to access all of Google’s searches, so it’s become automatic for me to do my searching from there, long before I started using Firefox.

ImageZoom, just because, sometimes it’s nice to get a larger image on a small laptop screen.

And I have a spell checker installed too, but I couldn’t find it on the list of available extensions. Obviously, I need to learn to use that one once it’s installed.. 🙂

(Update: I found the extension here, even though I couldn’t find it on the “official list”)

So what do you have in your Firefox?

    Should be an interesting week. I’ve got three new machines and an AV upgrade showing up, probably tomorrow.

Then I’ll have to…
