Firefox Add-ons
Now as you all know, firefox is a very customizable browser. You can add themes, extensions, and
dictionaries. You can actually make your very own one. But which are the best. Here are some add-ons
that I like to use and consider very useful.
General
The first one I want to discuss is KeyScrambler. I can say on behalf of a lot of people out there, that
their anti-virus program isn't the very best. And when it comes to keyloggers, some can say that they
have first hand experience. But this add-on can help stop it. It prevents keyloggers from being able to
keylog protected site (the add-on can distinguish on it's own).

The next one is the Imageshack toolbar. For those who like to screenie matches, mazes or even new jumps
this is a great add-on for you. All you have to do is download the program, either register/log-in into
your imageshack, and click Screenshot. Voila! The screenie is now uploaded into your imageshack
account. It can also upload pictures straight from a file you may have too.
Download: Click Here This is a straight
download link btw.
This next one is just an interesting one I like to use. It's called TabScope. What it does is if you
scroll over a tab, you can see a little preview of the page. It can be quite useful for people out
there. To me, its more of a fun add-on rather than an exetremly helpful one.

Adblock Plus is another exetremly useful add-ons. It can, if you want, automatically block ads on
pages. Or you can set your own filter to get rid of those pesky ads. This add-on is a must get.

For those out there that don't want to download the Mirc program, firefox lets you have a faster
approach. Chatzilla. Its fully compatible with firefox, and you can connect to any irc server.
Including the public pawngame server. Although it doesn't have everything Mirc can offer, if all you
want to do is chat, this is a great add-on.

[u]Devolopers
This is an exetremly helpful add-on for those devolopers out there. Its called Web Devoloper. Once you
download the add-on you have access to a lot of information on the webpage. Things like the CSS, HTML,
Java, and much more. It also gives you the chance to edit these things.

Firebug is simalar to the above add-on except it gives your a better perspective on how the webpage is
built. It also can detect coding errors on the page.

All those people that program can tell you that every browser handles scripts differently. What if you
can tell what your script could look like in IE without downloading it. Well User Agent Switcher does
just that. It lets you preview scripts on how they would look like in many other browsers.

I won't go into Themes, as it all depends on your style and how you like your firefox. But all I can
say is that there are several add-ons out there that can greatly increase your firefox performance.
I will also edit this as more useful add-ons come.
