Firefox additions

Well Today I thought I would post some of my favorite Firefox extensions (while I have some stuff downloading), and post the descriptions about each one....and my thought about them.

Descriptions taken from addons.mozilla.org

1.Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you'll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized. You can also log in to my.foxmarks.com to manage your bookmarks from any computer.

Well...I am a bit geekish... so if you dont know why I use this.....well... Stop reading!

2.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.

Read It Later has a Access Anywhere/RSS feed/sync functions. Oh I love Technology!

Now you can read the Links you didnt have time for once before...... anywhere.

3.Video DownloadHelper
The easy way to download and convert Web videos from hundreds of YouTube-like sites.
This works also for audio and picture galleries.

Well...we all like content....

4.GrandCentral Click to Call
For all you GrandCentral/Firefox useres out there, this is a must have. What the extension does is makes calls right from firefox using GrandCentral.

Let me give you an example.

Say you are on the web and want a pizza. You search for a local pizza place and google gives you a local pizza joint. Within the info google gives you is the address and phone number. That phone number is now clickable, and you can call it using your grandcentral account just by clicking the phone number.

5.IE Tab
hmm what can I say about this..... Its useful if you enjoy being infected....Time to move on.

6. SafeHistory
Restricts the marking of visited links on the basis of the originating document, defending against web privacy attacks that remote sites can use to determine your browser history at other sites. A link on a.com pointing at b.com will only be marked visited if you previously visited the b.com page with a referrer in the domain of a.com. On-site links work normally. Checks cookie settings (allow, originating site only, deny) to determine your desired privacy level (segmented by origin, don't mark links visited in offsite frames, or never mark links visited).

Looks interesting, have not tried it yet..... But could be useful for the moms, and pops who dont know any better.

7. Clipmarks (very cool for research)
Instead of copying and pasting links, Clipmarks is like adding a pair of scissors to your browser, letting you capture exactly what you want others to see (text, images or video). Your clips are saved on clipmarks.com and can easily be syndicated to FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook or other sites. You can also post anything you clip directly to your blog (supports Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad and more) or send it directly to friends or co-workers via email. Clipmarks also gives you a way to help the environment by printing only the parts of a page that you need. By printing just what you need, you'll save ink, paper and trees, thus making a contribution to a cleaner environment. Your clip collection is accessible from any computer with an internet connection, including your iPhone, Blackberry, or other mobile device.

I like it!!
