The 10 best Firefox extensions

Perhaps the greatest strength of Firefox is its engine management extensions, a real platform that allows you to add to what seems a simple browser, several features that can potentially go far beyond the scope of simple Internet navigation.

Here we list those for me are the 10 best Firefox extensions in terms of utility, of all those whom I had the opportunity to try and use so far:

1. Firebug
   
   It needs to presentations: he became an indispensable tool for any web designer and developer. Allows you to analyze and change in real time (and so obviously not persistent) all components (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) of the web page displayed in the browser. Thanks to Firebug, your productivity level design HTML certainly receive a significant increase, regardless of your skills or experience. From certainly try!
2. IE Tab
   
   Allows you to open within Firefox a new tab in which, however, starts (in a totally transparent) Internet Explorer. Utilissimo in all those cases where you have access to with Firefox sites made only for IE, such as Windows Update.
3. ScrapBook
   
   Allows you to save any resources on the local web from a single page (or portion of page) to an entire site. You will also provide features an integrated research, editing and cataloguing of all the stored pages.
4. Aardvark
   
   Allows you to select the various blocks that make up a web page and perform certain actions on them. In some ways is similar to Firebug, as it allows you to view and modify the fly HTML source, but its true strength lies in the fact that you can adapt very quickly to any web page to the press helping to remove simple operazionionenti "noise" as the box advertising or unnecessary images, footer and so on.
5. Google Browser Synch
   
   E 'indispensable if you have multiple PCs (such as office and at home) and wish that all your personal settings (bookmarks, history, cookies, saved passwords) are in sync automatically and continuously. Even is able to store information on the tab opened during the last session, riproponendoveli again the next independently from the PC you are using! The plugin requires a Gmail account that will be used to save information to synchronize.
6. PicLens
   
   Dedicated to all fans of photographic PicLens turns your browser into an "interactive 3D Wall" making it extremely easy and pleasant viewing of images from disparate sources: Flickr, Smugmug, DeviantArt, Photobucket, Picasa, Facebook, MySpace, Bebo , Hi5, Friendster, also works with search engines images from Google, Yahoo, Ask, Live, and AOL.
   Basically when PicLens recognizes the thumbnail image provenienete by one of the sources mentioned above, it displays a small icon that if selected active in your browser a real slideshow viewer.
7. GreaseMonkey
   
   It 'an engine that provides the opportunity to manipulate the content of web pages viewed by adding automation, new behaviors and functionality through Javascript. Userscripts is a very active community that is dedicated to the development of its wide variety of scripts for Greasemonkey and is an excellent starting point departure to gain a concrete idea of all the possibilities provided by this powerful platform.
8. PDF downloads
   
   Intercepts all clicks that lead to 'open a PDF file (like know Firefox always start viewing the fly in the PDF reader default, which sometimes appears to be rather heavy) and displays a box that lets you choose whether to cancel the operation , Download the file on the local, open it on the fly with your PDF reader or convert it and view it as HTML.
9. BugMeNot
   
   Take advantage of the service site BugMeNot to provide an automatism that allows access automatically without the need to sign up for all those sites that require (New Yourk Times, YouTube, IMDB, etc.). Clearly it can not be e-commerce sites or otherwise linked to the processing of data such as bank account or credit card.
10. Always Remember Password
    Lets you keep stored inside the Password Manager passwords even for those sites (such as home banking or some web mail), which will force the deadline for security reasons.
