Firefox and Extensions

I just have to say how impressed I am with firefox and their running releases of extensions and themes.

I’d thought I would share my list for everyone else to test and tryout:

Sage

Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed reader extension for Mozilla Firefox.

Web Developer 0.9.4

The Web Developer extension adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools. It is designed for Firefox, Flock and Mozilla, and will run on any platform that these browsers support including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Search Plugin Hacks

Allows uninstalling search plugins (great for adding and deleting)

Viamatic foXpose

The Viamatic foXpose plugin is a tiny little extension that lets you view all your tabs inside a browser window. This extension will only work on Firefox 1.5 or higher . You can get more information about this extension on mozilla.org

Contextile

Allows for original BB code to be used with your right-click button

Greasemonkey

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension which lets you to add bits of DHTML (“user scripts”) to any web page to change its behavior. In much the same way that user CSS lets you take control of a web page’s style, user scripts let you easily control any aspect of a web page’s design or interaction.

Console²

Console² replaces the JavaScript Console with what could be the next generation Error Console.

As of Firefox 1.5, the JavaScript Console is used not only for JavaScript errors, but for CSS errors as well. This extension takes this into account by providing a simple possibility to display errors by type. In case you find Console Filter too confusing, this might be what you’ve been looking for.

Console² let’s you display errors filtered by type (Errors, Warnings, Messages), language (JavaScript, CSS, XML) and context (Chrome, Content). Furthermore it provides a simple search box (as seen in the History and Bookmarks sidebars) and some accessibility improvements.

Translate Page

Translate Page passes the current page to Google’s Translation Service and was made upon request to directly mimmick a feature of the Mozilla suite within Firefox.
