Hi guys ...


To say the truth ... I was a hardcore Opera Browser fan ... I didn't like Firefox that much before... , though it was bloated , just like IE ...

But now things have changed .. after Many useful Add-ons and many other stuff ... Firefox has become my Default browser...

All Because of its Add-On Feature.. So here i Dedicate this thread regarding Add-On for Firefox...

Tell Other which add-On you use and let other too benefit from your experience


Ok Shall we start our recommendations ??


Here is mine

>>> Save Images

Why this add-on ?

I browse sites with many images like flickr , gizmodo etc... this add-on helps me grab all the images .. instead of me going to each image and downloadin ...

Very nifty for all those who browse loads of images ...


>>> Stylish

Why this Add- On ??

This ad-on gave me back the old Thinkdigit forum .. this gave me the vision to see all other sites in a different view .. eg : gmail .... the best one...


>>> Smiley Xtra


Why this add-on ?

I love to add smiley when replying in forums... this is the best one out there , which can easily replae all the deafult smiley sets in a forum and gives the rich looks to your replies on cariuos threads... ( its very new add-on to me .. so practising to use it frequently )


>>> Secure Login

Why this add-on ?

One thing i loved in oepra was Wand , wht a option it is ....

now this add-on gives me the same thing in FF... Love it !!

>>> Scrap book

Why this add-on ?

My fav ... Most of the times i am on Gprs so i dont have the privelge to visit the sote again ... so this add-on helps me save , oraganize all the webpages i think it needs to be saved for future reference ...
anyone bookamrking sites for only particular content can use this add-on , as

>>> Glasser


Why this add-on ?

It matches perfectly , or say makes my FF blend with Vista Aero

>>> Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer

Why this add-on ?

Best add-on for one who thinks to have a backup of all bookmarks and password online ... can try this add-on ...
A must have one for all those who install / change the FF frequently or use one or more PC`c / laptops /..

>>> Fast Video Download

Why this add-on ?


Downloads videos from variuos Video Sharing Sites VERY effectively....


>>> BBCode Xtra

Why this add-on ?

Not all forums can be well furnished like ours ... many would not even show the options to use ... this is where this add-on comes in ...
A good one ... try it ..



Other usuals

Adblock Plus

Grease Monkey


What are you guys going to recommend to Others ... ??

P.S : sorry for not providing the links ... to the add-ons... i am on Gprs and its damn slow ... so please google them... all the names mentioned are correct .. so dont have to worry , they will directly take u to the download page ...

Scribefire is recommended for every blogger.
It is a blogging addon that sits in the bottom of your screen
You can post from it, monitor no. of visitors, check how much adsense money you are making, etc.
Its one of the best addons I've used. :)

I use gmarks instead of foxmarks. It uses google bookmarks as base, and IMO is much better. The other regulars are adblockplus, gmail manager, stylish and twitterfox.

ya... opera should add a option or re inovate to include add-ons and other stuff... otherwise many will shift to FF

I hate AD Block Plus. Lets bloggers earn some bucks from ADs. Good Bloggers gives you latest information and solves your problems :mad:

I recommend start a good technical blog and you will feel same like me :mad:

"Flagfox" it's very cool, it displays the flag depicting the location of the server.
