But it’s our fault and not theirs; we often have no information regarding the
plug-ins that shall boost the browser instead of making it as heavy a rock. So,
here’s a list of the best of the available extensions that can replace an
application and save you the time and money besides simplifying your tasks.
i.    Down Them All! – As the name suggests, it’s a download manager
offering the typical functionalities that you can expect from a similar
top-of-the-line application. A sure-shot money-saver, as claimed by its 1.3
million active users and the first and only download manager/accelerator built
inside Firefox! (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201)
ii.    Deja-Click: This is a plug-in that records every single event on the
browser and allows you to play it back sequentially if required. Or in simpler
words, it provides an automation for opening the sites as soon as you switch on
your computer, in the same sequence as you did the last time. Find it at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3262
iii.    Video-Download Helper: Download videos with this plug-in from anywhere
you like but not in the RealPlayer way. Moreover, it provides suggestions for
where to download videos. It’s an easy way for downloading and converting Web
videos, even the streaming ones. To be found at:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006
iv.    Fire FTP: Perhaps the best and the simplest cross-platform extension
among all that have been created for Firefox to aid bloggers and webmasters. If
an intuitive access to FTP servers is your lookout, then
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/684 should be your destination.
v.    G-space: This extension is to connect you to your g-mail account and help
you to upload and download attachments. Sort of an online drive, hosted at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593.
vi.    Firebug: Strictly for developers, it’s a magnificent tool to analyze,
to edit codes and to view CSS or JavaScript real time. Both the versions (1.2
and 1.05) are available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843
vii.    Screengrab: Ideal for the machines with low resources, Screengrab does
not run as a separate program but within a web page saving an entire web page as
an image. Find it at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1146
viii.    SQLite Manager: Makes “Whoa!” the common factor when it comes to
creating the tables in a database. Get it at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817
ix.    Codetech: Evident from its name, this professional, web-editing interface
of the Firefox browser delivers the feel of Dreamweaver. To edit documents while
you surf the Internet, the URL
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1002 shall prove a great help.
x.    G-mail Manager: It’s different from G-Space and helps managing and
maintaining multiple G-mail accounts. Sort of an alarm that sits on the status
bar and provide alerts as new mails pour in. To be found at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1320.
xi.    Stealther: A stealth facility, you feel like an undercover agent and
start enjoying the guily pleasures. In other words, it’s anonymous browsing.
Feel the thrill at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1306.
xii.    Menu Editor: Shortlist what you want to view on the Firefox menu and
alter the options as well. A click is enough to hide an entire menu on the
browser. Download it at http://menueditor.mozdev.org/
xiii.    Grease monkey: Additional functionality through custom JavaScript codes
– it is the best way to describe this plug-in. To customize a web page
display, use the JS bits after you download it from http://userscripts.org.
