25 Firefox Extensions to Make You More Productive

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:25:57 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Autocopy - The name pretty much says it all. Instead of having to hit cmd+c (or ctrl + C for our Windows readers), every time you highlight text it automatically copies it to the clipboard. If you don’t want it on 100% of the time, you can toggle it on and off in the bottom-right of the browser.

Scrapbook - Much like the Read it Later extension, Scrapbook allows you to quickly save pages for later reading. However, it has a few more great features, like taking whole snippets of pages (like Google Notebook), searching within snippets, saving whole websites, and you can even organize the snippets like bookmarks. Perfect for researching or in-depth bookmarking.

Well, that's Diigo. Only that Diggo actually bookmarks. posted by gibarian

Copy Plain Text- The name pretty much says it all. If you do a lot of writing in WYSIWYG editors (blogging and other word processors), then this extension can come in pretty handy. Copy Plain Text will leave all the bolds, italics and other unwanted formatting when you copy and paste into text fields.

Oh, and that, as well, Diigo does. posted by gibarian

FEBE - On the surface, FEBE will quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. But the fun doesn’t stop there. You can also sync multiple computers with the same Firefox extensions, and even set up automatic backups, ensuring that you’ll never lose your Firefox configurations again.

This is perfect. Been looking for something like this for a while. Well, actually I wanted to look, but never came around to. posted by gibarian

del.icio.us bookmarks - Save, search and share your Del.icio.us bookmarks easily inside of Firefox. Browsing your bookmarks is especially easy with the del.icio.us sidebar.

And here's another Diigo feature, complete with a sidebar. posted by gibarian

Enable your extensions in Firefox 2.0 - Lifehacker

Enable your extensions in Firefox 2.0

If you're eager to dive into the newly-released Firefox 2 Beta but aren't eager to deal with extension incompatibility, the gHacks blog suggests installing the Nightly Tester Tools extension, which among other things, will allow you to use your old extensions in Firefox 2.

Of course, a few of our savvy readers were right on top of this, offering the Nightly Tester Tools solution yesterday, along with one other simple about:config hack. I can also vouch for previously-mentioned extension MR Tech Local Install, which will force compatibility on your stubborn extensions. — Adam Pash
