Beefing Up Firefox

Here are a few way to beef up your Firefox.

THEMES

• Azerty III 2.0 – This has a great collection of replacement icons for firefox. Its doesn’t change the color or anything just the icons. [Download it]


• Azerty II 2.0 – The predecessor of the one mentioned above. Equally good collection of icons. [Download it]


• Noia 2.0 (eXtreme) – If you like fancy themes this is one of the best I have come across. [Download it]

EXTENSIONS

• Google Toolbar – If you Google this is a must have. Direct search for Gmail, Desktop, and Web. [Download it]


• IE Tab – Lets you open a page in IE as a tab in Firefox. Quite useful if you happen to stumble upon a page that’s not Firefox compliant. [Download it]


• StumbleUpon 2.2 – If you are online and looking for some interesting random pages this extension is for you. It adds a toolbar to Firefox. Whenever you click the Stumble button some random page as per your predefined interest is opened. [Download it]


• Tab X – This is a life saver. In firefox if you need to close a tab you have to first choose it and in the process displaying the contents of the page (which you might not want). This extension adds a close button to every tab. [Download it]


• AJAX Yahoo! Mail – If you have a yahoo mail account you should download this. It lets you see the content of your mail without leaving the inbox. Just click on the [+] sign to the left of the mail and it opens right there in your inbox. No matter how big the mail everything will be displayed including pictures. [Download it]


• Image Toolbar 0.6.3 – Gives you the option to save, info about, copy and print a picture whenever you hover above the picture. [Download it]


• Drag drop Upload – This is my favorite. We all hate the process of attaching files to web based emails. We have to do that one by one (browse – select - add). Now picture this you need to mail 10 pictures to your friend. Instead of doing this you select the 10 pictures from the explorer window and drag it to the text box for attachment and you are done. Sounds unbelievable … [Download it]


• Hyperwords – Makes every word web enteractive. [Download it]


• Firefox Showcase – Shows a thumbnail of all the tabs that are open in firefox. [Download it]

Hope you find the above Themes and Extensions useful.
