10 Must Have FireFox Browser Addons

Occasionally I depart from the usual eye care related topics and branch into something that I feel people might find useful.  My internet browser of choice is Firefox. I only use Internet Explorer when absolutely necessary, which is a very rare event indeed.  What I like about Firefox is that you can customize it with addons.  There are thousands of addons available for Firefox.  Here are a few of my must have favorites.  I use everyone of these daily.

• Tab Mix Plus – Adds increased options and functionality to Firefox’s current tab system
• Unites States English Dictionary – a spell checker
• Google Toolbar for Firefox – search Google from the browser without going to the website, includes other helpful items as well
• Adblock Plus – gets rid of pop ups and advertisements, you can tell it which pages you want the ads removed
• Delicious Bookmarks –  Store your bookmarks online and categorize them.  Decline the option to install Yahoo’s Toolbar, Google’s is better
• ForecastFox – gives you weather in the bottom right corner of the browser
• Gmail Manager – Much better way to access your Gmail, especially if you have multiple accounts
• IE Tab – sometimes only Internet Explorer works, usually only needed for an E-Commerce site
• Remember the Milk for Gmail – My todo list integrated with Gmail
• Sxipper – Gives me the option to enter my passwords at logon screens

That’s it those are my must have Firefox Browser Extensions/Addons.  You can search for other Firefox addons at the Firefox Addon Website.  I have also reviewed addons that are available to patients with impaired vision.
