I think one of the reasons why firefox is so popular and gain significant share in browser market is the extensive support from various plugins. These plugins benefit anybody with specific need other than merely viewing a webpage.
As for me there are couple of firefox plugins that is most useful in my daily browsing routine i.e:
- Scrapbook, to capture page and save them to your local computer. Next time you need to see the pages, you do not need to visit the page again. Sure a more powerful replacement for a mere “bookmark”
- Screengrab. Sometimes you need to capture webpages as an image. Especially when you want to put them on your documents. This tool is a super solution.
- Flashblock. Most of flash animations on websites is just there for decorative purpose. And sometimes they can be very annoying, especially when you have a slow internet speed. This plugin is very effective against those flash stuffs, cos you have the ultimate control which flash worth seeing.
- Adblock. I think everyone will agree to this one. Using adblock, you can live free from almost any kind of advertisement :).
- Foxyproxy. Well this one is only suitable for those who has their computers connected to various network at the same time, each with its own gateway or proxy server. You can choose to use specific proxy for certain site (url pattern) and foxyproxy will automagically use the right proxy for those site.
