Permalink   


#10 IE Tab: Even when users still use Firefox, they can't go without their beloved Internet Explorer.

#8 British English Dictionary: Spelling mistakes are far too common on forum posts, so this quick add-ons spell checks as you type preventing you from making typos and errors while posting on the Internet.

#7 Hide Menubar: If you're looking to get a better view of a web site without all those useless toolbars at the top of your browser, this add-on will hide your main menu toolbar at the top, giving you that extra bit of web space. Holding Alt will make the main menu reappear.

#6 Tabs Open Relative: Such a very basic annoyance to some Firefox users is opening up a new tab, where the newly created tab will open after the very last tab, regardless to what tab you are currently on. This add-on opens up the new tab right beside your current tab, even if your browsing on the first tab and have multiple tabs open, your newly created tab will appear beside your active tab.

#4 Greasemonkey: Greasemonkey script lets users customize visited web sites by adding in their own javascript to adjust the way the web page is viewed.

Moh, I'm using 3.5.2 and Aero, ForecastFox, and NoScript have been updated to work with it, so far.

Others (not updated): SmoothWheel, BugMeNot, IE View, and Linktification.

I also use ForecastFox, and NoScript..... and I also use Ad-Blocker, Foxy Tunes, Zoom Image, Download Helper (to get YouTube videos), and Greasemonkey (to see scripts).

The most important of these is NoScript, especially if you are using a Windows based computer. This stops harmful, malicious scripts in their tracks!

Have nothing against Firefox -- just have never seen any reason to abandon Internet Explorer 8.
