Essential Firefox Extensions - Part Two
Yesterdays round up of add ons were the kind of tools that would be useful for anyone. Todays bunch are a bit more specialised. You might not find them immediately useful, but if you’ve got a specific itch that needs scratching, they can’t be beat…
FireBug - essential web design tool. I can’t belive how insanely great this is. If you need to dive into the code of a site to see how it works there’s nothing better. Want to make changes to any site on the web on the fly? You can with Firebug. (Unbeatable for blog theme tweaking…)
FireFTP - platform agnostic FTP tool. Because I use both Linux and Windows on a daily basis, I got fed up with switching FTP clients. With FireFTP you don’t have to, it’s all done from the browser. Remember, the browser is the new operating system…
FireUploader - for easy and quick access to my Picasa account. I’ve been uploading a huge amount of photos recently, and frankly the Picasa interface sucks. You can only upload five files at a time. With FireUploader I can upload directories full at a time. Also integrates with lots of other services for extended usefulness…
Google Notebook - The more I use it, the more uses I find for it. Not strictly a Firefox extension, more a Google product. Highlight a chunk of website and clip, it’s in the notebook. Great for research and, well, taking notes… Highly recommended if you haven’t tried it already.
Well that’s the extent of the add ons I can’t live without. Do drop me a note if you try one of them you don’t already use…
