10 Most Helpful Firefox Add-ons

With this arti­cle I will show you my favorite and most help­ful Fire­fox add-ons. These add-ons I use every­day and it makes my life eas­ier as a Web Designer and as a per­son who enjoys social media sites. * Note * These are not in any order!

    1. I use this for my every­day design­ing or just when I like a cer­tain color. Col­orZilla is located on the sta­tus bar (sorry not sure the cor­rect term) in the bot­tom left hand cor­ner. This is very use­ful to use when you see a color you like and have no way to find out what it is. You sim­ply click the icon and click on the color.

      To down­load this Col­orZilla click here.

    2. I lit­er­ally use this add-on every day. It stores my pass­words for mul­ti­ple accounts on any­thing. It’s not good if you have mul­ti­ple users on your com­puter, though because then they can get into your accounts. I tend to not have the same pass­word for every­thing so with Sxip­per I don’t need to remem­ber any of my passwords!

      To down­load Sxip­per click here.

    3. I just recently installed this and instantly thought it was amaz­ing. This is pretty much a list of your basic social media sites that you can get updates all at once. All you have to do is sign into those accounts using Yoono. Yoono is placed to your left and is a small side­bar, the col­ors are also cus­tomiz­able. You also have the abil­ity to add wid­gets as well, like news feed, your hotmail/yahoo/gmail, music straight from any web­site (last.fm is default). I rec­om­mended this completely!

      To down­load Yoono click here.

    4. I just recently installed this and liked this as well. Even though I have Win­dows 7 and am able to split my screens any­ways, I’m only able to do it with two sides/screens — with this I’m able to have as many as pos­si­ble. You are able to click on links and “Load them on a new Pane” which is a new sec­tion of the screen. You are able to choose which side it goes on as well.

    5. Like the oth­ers, I just recently installed this one too. What it does is that your main Book­marks which you have on your tool­bar get scrunched down to just their Fav­i­cons and if you scroll over them what­ever you named them shows up. This makes a lot more room for all of your main book­marks and is very handy.

    6. Read it later is very use­ful. Though I for­get I have it some­times I still try to use it as much as pos­si­ble! To use this great add-on you sim­ply right click and select the option Read This Link Later.

      To down­load Read It Later click here.

    7. Mea­sure it is a very hadny pro­gram to get to know the sizes of any­thing you see. Just like Col­orZilla (#1) it places itself down on the sta­tus bar to your left. All you have to do is click it and then click and drag it across your image!

      To down­load Mea­sure It click here.

    8. Some­times things looks dif­fer­ent in dif­fer­ent browsers. Now you can switch from IE to Fire­fox with­out even leav­ing Fire­fox! This is a great add-on if you’re a Web Designer who wants their vis­i­tors to be able to view their site in all browsers.

      To down­load IE Tab click here.

    9. Save time by speed­ing up repet­i­tive tasks. Get faster, par­al­lelized down­loads, see def­i­n­i­tions, auto-load the next page, improve search­ing, and more. Fastest­Fox will dra­mat­i­cally enhance your pro­duc­tiv­ity! By high­light­ing any­thing with this add-on enabled it shows a lit­tle box that enables you to search the high­lighted text with either One­R­iot, Wikipedia, Twit­ter or Google.

      To down­load Fastest Fox click here.

    10. If there’s an add or an image you don’t want to see ever again then this is the add-on for you. I have used this many times and I just love it. All you do is right click and choose the option Adblock Plus.

      To down­load Adblock Plus click here.

Thank you for tak­ing the time to read my arti­cle. I hope you enjoy these Fire­fox add-ons as much as I have.
