Top 5 Firefox Plugins

In case you haven’t heard, the Internet Destroyer Explorer browser from Microsoft sucks balls. Use Firefox instead. Read more about switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox.

Firefox + these extensions = happy computer

1. Tab Mix
   Switching from Maxthon, I was not impressed with Firefox’s tabbed browsing. This extension takes it to where it should be. Make new tabs open next to the current tab. Double-click a tab to close it. Move a tab by dragging it. Reopen closed tabs. This stuff just makes sense.
2. All-in-One Gestures
   Once you get used to mouse gestures, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without them. Mouse gestures let you control your browser (back, refresh, forward, etc.) by holding the right-click button and moving the mouse. Moving the mouse to left goes to the previous page; up then down reloads the current page. You’ll realize just how wonderful mouse gestures are and how much you use them when have to use a computer that doesn’t have ‘em installed. This alone will make you never want to use Internet Explorer again.
3. Forcastfox
   Add the current weather & forcast to the Firefox status bar. This plugin is simple and unobtrusive. Very nice.
4. IE View
   Lets face it - the web is full of crappy websites that only work well in Internet Explorer. This lets you open the current page in Internet Explorer (simply by right-clicking & choosing the option) when you run across one in Firefox.
5. Web Developer
   I know, I know. It’s everyone’s favorite. That’s because it does a lot and works really well. If you do anything with web developing, you should have this plugin.
