Must-Have Firefox Extensions
Want to be cooler than your coworkers? We’d say the key is tricking out Firefox with envy-inspiring extensions—add-ons that tweak existing features or add new ones. Clever coders have churned out over a thousand of these handy little helpers, all of which are just as free to download as Firefox itself
An extension can be as simple as Auto Copy, which instantly copies selected text to the clipboard (not that hitting Ctrl-C takes so much time); as profound as UndoCloseTab, which reopens tabs you closed, saving a history until you exit Firefox (how cool is that?); or as specific as Book Burro, a pop-up window that automatically fetches prices from other stores when you shop online for books.
These are just the tip of the extension iceberg.Mozilla’s Firefox page (addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions) is home to a growing library of extensions as well. When you find one you like, click the Install Extension button and follow Firefox’s prompts. You may have to restart the browser to access the new feature, but that’s a small price to pay for out-cooling the whole office.
