Mumbo Jumbo Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well after reading the glowing comments about FireFox I want to give it a try, and I would like to use some Add Ons, Both for viewing and security, can some one please recommend Which Add Ons you think are a ‘’ Must Have ‘’ along with your personal favourite One’s… Thanks Mumbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 These are the ones I have on mine in order of importance to me. IE Tab - for those sites that require Internet Explorer (banks, etc.). Never have to leave FF. Tab Mix Plus - spruces up the tabs and gives many extra capabilities to them. FlashGot - If you have FlashGet, this makes automatic downloads much simpler and reliable FEBE - Firefox Extension Backup Extension - self explanatory Fasterfox - to tune performance Mouse_Gestures - gives some extra abilities to your mouse when viewing pages.

Gary A Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I was using Firefox and liked it but some glitches popped up that I couldn't repair so I am now using SeaMonkey. I think all the Firefox add ons also work for SeaMonkey. I use IE Tab and Flashgot. SeaMonkey seems faster than Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veazer Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well after reading the glowing comments about FireFox I want to give it a try, and I would like to use some Add Ons, Both for viewing and security, can some one please recommend Which Add Ons you think are a ‘’ Must Have ‘’ along with your personal favourite One’s… Thanks Mumbo I have a pre-built configuration of FireFox Portable for people who are interested such as yourself. It's about 15 MB compressed, if you're interested I'll upload it for you. I've added some handy extensions and prettied it up with a custom skin. It's stable, portable and looks great.

rambling Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Same as yours plus these: Better Gmail - improved Gmail Bugmenot - common sites passwords to bypass registration just to read some article Delicious - online bookmarking Download statusbar Fetch text URL - highight and open text URL's which aren't hyperlinked Foxy tunes - control music from within FF Gmail space - use Gmail as an online storage drive Google Gears - Google app for offline web apps Google Notebook Greasemonkey - lots of scripts Menu Editor - cut down the clutter in the long menus Scribefire - for blogging Stylish - CSS scripts and sites styles User Agent Switcher - to bypass stupid web admins who can't build compliant sites VideoDownloader - download videos from youtube, google video etc. btw, for the OP's question on security there's no need for ad-ons for that, FF does a pretty job at this by itself. These are the ones I have on mine in order of importance to me.IE Tab - for those sites that require Internet Explorer (banks, etc.). Never have to leave FF. Tab Mix Plus - spruces up the tabs and gives many extra capabilities to them.
