Firefox Add-ons

Firefox add-ons are like apps that you would have on your phone or Ipad. They are useful and can be quite the tool. Here are some examples;
















1.Disable Ctrl-Q Shortcut: this add on is useful when you have those annoying people in your computer class who think its funny to do the old Ctrl-Q shortcut and close out of your work. This add on permanently disables that function until you delete the add on.
2. No Script: This add-on helps you to maintain good security, and show you which websites to and not to trust.
3. LeachBlock: Leachblock is an add on that helps you manage your time wisely. It lets you block yourself from sites at certain times so that you can stay focused.
4. NoSquint: NoSquint is a add on that helps for people that have a hard time seeing the tiny text that is on a webpage. NoSquint allows you to edit the color and text size on a page for your own convenience.
5. QuickPasswords: QuickPasswords is pretty much like google drive but is strictly for passwords. It allows you to have a place to store your private information so you dont forget it.
6. gTranslate: gTranslate is a tool that lets you have the convenience of translating something without ever having to type it into google.
7. Lazarus: Form Recovery: Lazarus Form Recovery is a great add-on. It allows you to pull up a document if it was accidentally closed out of and not saved, so it basically recovers it (HENCE THE NAME).
8. Session Manager: Session Manager is a add-on that lets you control and manage your tabs without having to dig through them.
9. Similar Sites: Similar Sites is an add-on that lets you look up things and while looking up something on a page it will give you pages that are similar.
10. Image Block: Image Block is a great speed site. It lets you have the option of blocking the images on the site so that the page will load faster.















Firefox Personas


Firefox Personas are pretty much just a way to personalize your firefox browser. They are cute and easy to install. This is mine :).

Symbaloo


Symbaloo is a very cool website that lets you pretty much bookmark all the websites that you love in one group of rectangles. It is very convenient if you are in a hurry to find something like a website that you always use. This is my Symbaloo page :). Here's the link to it. http://www.symbaloo.com/#

Feedjit


Feedjit is a nifty little add-on that you can put on your webpage or blog. It allows you to see who all is looking at or following your page and things like that. I can see things like when my page was last visited and what town or state that person lives in. For example; The last time my webpage was visited was about six minutes ago and the person was from Abilene.
