What Firefox plugins are you using?
If you are new to the site, sign up for the RSS Feed. All new sign ups get punch and pieRSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
If you are using internet explorer stop. If you are using opera, use it less. If you are using AOL get rid of the internet. If you are using Firefox, have a seat so we can talk. If you just started using Firefox or are thinking about using it, there is something you might not know about, PLUGINS! Firefox plugins or extensions can really beef up you browsing abilities. Here are a list of plugins I am currently using and some places you can go to find out about more of them.
ColorZilla: This plugin lets you grab the color off web pages. So say your are going to Iambetterthanu.com (great site) and you want to know what red that is. Simply click on the eye dropper in the bottom left and then select the color you want. It will give you the Blue Red and Green attributes so you can use the exact color for your self.
Fasterfox: The name says it all. Install fasterfox and your Firefox will load pages faster. It really is that simple. Most people using Firefox are not your dial up users, so they don’t need to be held back by typical browser constraints. Fasterfox breaks off these chains and lets you open up the pipes.
Ie Tab: So you can’t break free of mommies teet and still want to use IE? Well IE tabs lets you use both with out opening up two browsers. simply click the firefox, ie button on the bottom right and BLAM O you are in IE.
Measure It:This plugin simply lets you measure items on the screen. So if you want to see how wide a part of an image is without downloading it. Click the tool and drag measurements right there on the screen.
SEO For Firefox: For all you SEO’s out there this plugin is a must. Gives you valuable information about a websites links, like if they use no follows etc.
Web Developer: This plugin is a web developers dream, it gives you everything from multiple source code views to removing all css with a click of a button.

FIREFOX FTW!! On my other computer it’s not working and I’m stuck with some stupid thing called IceApe. I purged Fx, so hopefully I’ll be able to install it again and have it work.
And dude! AdBlock!!! It’s a must. Fasterfox does its part, but you can take some serious time off page load times just by not loading the ads. Ever notice how pages suddenly stop loading for 5-10 seconds? If you look at the status bar, 90% of the time it says something like “Waiting for adserver.net”
