Amusing FireFox Extensions

Post by VirtLands » Thu May 09, 2013 10:43 pm

I like to use Firefox to the max, so I discovered lots of interesting extensions and add-ons.
Here are some of my favorites.


(a) The Tab Counter add-on displays in the upper-right corner how
many tabs you've got open within a FireFox window.

I often prefer to not close tabs because I'm paranoid that I'll forget what they are, ... so I just leave them open and they accumulate.

In a typical day, I often have over 500 tabs open all at once. Image
And then I close the session, and the next day I open them all up again.

FireFox Tab Counter add-on:
Open Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefo ... src=search
Tab Counter: https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefo ... src=search

[ 115+263+186 = 564 Tabs ]

(b) Abduction! add-on lets you convert a webpage to a screenshot.

(c) AutoSave Document Addon. This add-on has some excellent potential future uses.
It can be programmed to automatically save TABS from various websites to your disk.

(d) CaptureSaver add-on. { I forgot what this does, but it does something... }

(e) ColorBlind Simulator. { This displays and simulates for you how a website looks to people with color-vision deficits.
So, if you want to use colors that are hard for color-blind people to see, then there you have it. }

(f) ColorBlind Designer. { Another helpful add-on that instructs you how to make stuff hard for people to see. }

(g) DownThemAll! { Very useful add-on that (with a right-click) allows you to quickly select and download multiple links at the same time.
For example, if a webpage has about 100 MP3 links on it, then you can
download them all at once, instead of clicking on them one-at-a-time. }

(h) FlagFox { Displays a country flag depicting the location of the current website's server }

(i) Flash Video Downloader { Lets you conveniently download videos. }

(j) FlashGot { a convenient download manager... }
