My Top 5 Recommend Firefox Add-Ons

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 by: JM

Firefox is the browser that I'm using for years now. 3 reasons that make me choose this is that it's secure, really fast and customizable. But the downfall of this is that it uses a big space in my memory. In short, it's a memory hog.

Here are my top 5 recommend Firefox add-ons:

Top 5 : Read It Later

Read It Later allows you to save pages of interest to read later. It eliminates cluttering of bookmarks with sites that are merely of a one-time interest. This is a perfect way to return to the pages that you haven't read while surfing the net. I'm using this frequently for my homework so it will not mix with my other bookmarks.


Top 4: Photobucket Uploader 1.3


This Photobucket Firefox addon allows you to right-click on images that appear on any web page and upload them directly to your Photobucket account. It also makes interacting with your Photobucket account a lot quicker and easier.

I love the way I easily upload the images I want to. I strongly recommend this for those who do website designing since they can get the url or html code of the file in less than a minute.

Top 3: Fission


Fission combines address bar and progress bar (Safari style). This makes the progress bar more visible and allows for a nice visual effect.

I like the effect of the progress bar combines with the address bar. It's an advantage for users since most of us usually take a look on the address bar if they're on the right link and having the progress bar will tell if it's done loading or not.

Top 2: Smart Bookmarks Bar

Smart Bookmarks Bar extension comes right here by hiding bookmarks names and only showing icons. Bookmark names will be displayed on mouse over.

This gives me the way to have a lot of space and bookmarks to be shown in the toolbar allotted. This is superb since you'll just have to click the icon of the site which you usually visits.

Top 1: Personas


Free, easy-to-install "skins" for Firefox. Choose from over 30,000 cool designs, including art from Harry Potter and Bob Marley. Join over 8 million people from around the world who are asking themselves: "What Will My Browser Wear Today?"

This lets me surf and browse in a new dimension each day since I can pick what kind of design that I wanted my browser to have. You can even match the design according to your mood such as if your feeling happy then find that kind of clothing that your Firefox will wear.
