Colorful Tabs

An extension that I found only recently is Colorful Tabs. It makes tabs quite, well, colourful.

While this extension really doesn't do much, what it does is really quite useful. By colourizing each tab, it makes them contrast better, and makes it easier for me to tell which tab is which.

Bug Me Not!

Don't you absolutely HATE those websites that force you to register to see the full contents of the website, even though it's free?

Well you're not alone. In fact, there's a whole website devoted to bypassing that. Well, if we have a website for it, why not have a Firefox extension?

Well, we do. It's called BugMeNot and it uses the BugMeNot website to do its work.

Simply Right-click on the login box and click BugMeNot

It'll automatically add a login name and password for you.

ListZilla

Greetings, everyone!

The most helpful extension for making this site is ListZilla. It makes it SO easy to output all of my extensions right to this page. For example, I'm currently using:

Adblock Plus 0.5.11.1
AspellFox 0.5.6
BugMeNot 0.9
ColorZilla 0.8.3.1
CuteMenus - Crystal SVG 0.9.9.63
Fasterfox 1.0.1
Feedview 0.9.8
FlashGot 0.5.9.99
Forecastfox 0.8.2.5
Gmail Notifier 0.5.3
ListZilla 0.7
New Tab Button on Tab Bar 1.0
Open link in... 1.4
ReloadEvery 1.5
SessionSaver .2 0.2.1.031
Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.8.8
Talkback 1.5
TickerFox 0.2.6
User Agent Switcher 0.6.7
View Rendered Source Chart 1.2.03
Web Developer 0.9.4

For the people out there who don't use Firefox on many computers and don't install Firefox for their friends, this extension is nothing more than a nice way to back up your extensions in case your profile dies.
For people like me, however, it has great use.

ASpellFox (Linux Only)

This extension is REALLY handy. It allows me to use Aspell (a dictionary/spellchecker program for Linux/UNIX) in any Fire fox text box. This is really handy when writing things like this bog entry.

AspellFox adds an item to the right-click menu on text boxes that lets you open the AspellFox Spell checking window.

I especially like this extension, as I have Spell checking in all of the programs that I use on a regular basis (Firefox, OpenOffice.org, etc.) and it all uses the same dictionary. I don't have to add words in all of the dictionaries.

NOTE: If you don't like or cannot use AspellFox, try Spellbound. I don't use it, but I have reports that it's good.

Hi again,

Before you post any extensions, PLEASE read this post to make sure that I don't already know about and use the extension. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be playing catchup with my extensions, as I don't have time to list and describe them all in one night. The descriptions will become better as I go along, because I'll know what people want more.

So here's my list of Extensions as made by ListZilla.

Adblock Plus

Okay everyone,

If you've been using Firefox for a while, you've most likely come upon Adblock. Well, I've got a better (in my opinion) option. That is, Adblock Plus (Extensions Mirror link). I haven't found an official homepage for it, so that's why I've linked to the Extensions Mirror page.

To go along with Adblock and Adblock Plus is the Filterset.G and Filterset.G updater.
Filterset.G is a filter list for Adblock that blocks most advertisements.

Welcome

Welcome to my Firefox tips blog.

This blog is for anyone who wants to learn (or post) any neat tricks for Firefox. It also has links to extensions and add-ons for Firefox.

If you would like me to add an extension/tip/etc. (and give you credit), please comment on THIS post. Comments on other posts MUST be related to that post or they will be removed.
(example: If I make a post about the Adblock extension, the Filterset.g belongs as a comment to that post, not this one or any other one. Alternately, a comment showing the GMail Notifier extension belongs to THIS post, not the Adblock one.)

PLEASE NOTE: I will only put tips that I USE on my posts. This is NOT a full collection of tips, either. It is merely a database of what I use.
