[NickTheGreek]

This is intended to show people various Firefox plugins and the reasdn we use them, so post your own.




This speeds up browsing up to 10% in normal use and it also shows (in secs) the time a pege takes to load.



FireFTP is one of the coolest FTP clients : it integrates seemlessly with FF to allow you to FTP in a Tab



Flashgot is umatched in multiple downloads and queueing and in terms of download tweaks i find it inferior only to Getright.



This is a life saver : now integrated with FF 2.0 it auto saves your open tabs and session so in ay case ( power failure, software crash, firefox bug ) it will resume your work right there you were standing.



Sothink is a great tool for editing Shockwave Flash files, and this one grabs SWF files from sites that do not normally allow you doing so. Important for Arcade Game conversion.



Firefox has rich options with Tabs but with this you have it all : undo close, multiple option, save particular tabs (lock), built-in tab order saver and more



This is integrated into FF: it sends crash info to the Mozilla Foundation when things go wrong with their favorite child.



This is a very rare and undocumented plugin i use to literally take even the last breath of internet connection to FF speed.



Firefug extends unique FF ability to view partial source code ( select an area and view the surce of it ) and allow you to edit real-time HTML.

FireTune

This easy and fast optimization tool will boost the performace of your Firefox browser

FireTune for Mozilla Firefox was developed for an easy and fast optimization of your browsing experience with Firefox.

It is based on a collection of optimization settings collected and tested by Tweakfactor.

Usually you have to optimize Firefox manually, which can be time consuming and difficult for the novice user. FireTune helps you here - it includes all the performance optimizations. The only thing you must do is: make your selection. FireTune does the work for you.

How to tell whether Firefox is faster after optimizing it:

Clear the cache of Firefox from the Firefox settings dialog - this is very important!
Before you optimize Firefox, navigate to http://www.numion.com/stopwatch/ and do a speed test on http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
The time needed to load the site completely will be displayed to you in the browser window. Write down the time
Clear the cache of Firefox from the Firefox settings dialog again - this is very important!
Now, close Firefox, and optimize it with FireTune
Start Firefox again, and repeat the speed test on http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Compare the displayed result with the result from the test before the optimization

Note: Some antivirus and antispyware programs flag FireTune as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when antivirus software wrongly classifies an innocuous (inoffensive) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with antitrojan or antispyware software.]
