Getting older... with Firefox.

Hey, I've gone absolutely mad with the add-ons I've put on my Firefox 2.0.0.14(I was putting it all on FF 3.0b5, but practically none of the really good ones work on it, so... back to plan 2.)

Thus far the list for the best Firefox addons includes:

  1. Adblock Plus
  2. All in one sidebar(Aios, this is simply put the best extension aside from cooliris previews.)
  3. Better Search.(for anyone using FF 3.0b5, google preview works about half as well. Not really, but it's the closest thing you've got.)
  4. Cooliris Previews. You have no idea how much time it saves you until you have used it. It is a lifesaver.
  5. Clipmarks. (or, google notebook. Must go to Google itself and see what add-ons they have for Firefox at http://www.google.com/firefox.
  6. Download Status Bar
  7. Google toolbar (must have, but only works well if you have a google account, which I STRONGLY recommend. With a Google account, you have access to more power online than any other account by any other service that I know of, with the possible exception of Mac, but since I have a pc, I can't vouch for it. I like Macs, and want one to learn real programming, but so far I only have about $50 saved for it.)
  8. Linkwad(again, if it ONLY worked!)
  9. Speed Dial/(absolutely ridiculously necessary)
  10. Stumble upon(gotta love those ratings)
  11. Tab Mix Plus (with session save disabled because of linkwad and taboo.) (also, for FF 3.ob5 users, the closest I can come to this INCREDIBLE extensions features are Tab clicking options, Linkwad and Tabs open relative combined, but it STILL doesn't give you as much versatility. It is simply the best addon.)
  12. Tab Scope
  13. Taboo(I die again. I love this one. I use it every single day on my U3 flashdrive.)
  14. Tree Style Tabs (will dearly miss. The only thing that could really make it better was if you could make it appear and disappear with a click of the mouse, like Aios, cause the auto hide function does get a bit annoying.)
  15. Zotero (this is an excellent function for those who carry their Firefox on a USB/U3 disk drive, absolutely LOVE it, the only thing is that they could make it a little more comprehensive, for things like copying an article off of a website, it doesn't find all of the authors and stuff.)

And I realize that this is only miniscule to what normally is added on to people's Firefox, but Those are the ones I find crucial.
Also, as you may or may not have noticed, I am somewhat a fan of google. Advice: get a google account. use your google account. really really really like your google account.

Test Dummy

This is my first blog post, so go easy on me. I'm assuming it's something like a personal forum page, where only the page owner can write and post materials, so that's how I'll use it. If anybody wants to reply to this and tell me there are other people out there in the world besides me, go right on ahead, I like to here it every now and then.

I'm sort of thinking of using this site, after being inspired by others, for purposes of writing and distributing my ideas and theories to the world. That may seem like a dumb and obvious statement, but I like to orient myself to a focus and then drive that focus as far as I can make it go.

Until Next Post, then.
