Recommended Firefox Addons, Plugins & Extensions
One of the best things about Firefox is the HUGE number of add-ons and plugins...there are quite literally thousands of these which you can get for free |
Tab Catalogue: This lets you graphically view all your tabs at once. Very similar to the feature in Internet Explorer 7 but much better  recommend the new firefox Showcase instead of the old Tab Catalogue |
Spell-checker: A must have - passively spell-check everything you type into firefox. I can't strongly recommend this one enough  Get this plugin |
Stumble: Plug yourself into the Zeitgeist web.... Stumble lets you see what other like minded people are recommending.  Get this plug-in |
Zoom in to any image on any webpage...  Get this plugin |
With Hyperwords you can link directly from any text to loads of different internet resources. No more typing text into search fields!  Get this plugin |
A great tip to enable Firefox Spell-checker in all text areas
A slightly annoying thing about the Firefox spellchecker is the default setting is only for "text-areas" and it won't check your text in inputfields. This is very easy to fix and also really useful.
To enable the spellchecker for inputfields and textareas:
1) Simply type about:config in the address bar of the browser.
2) type in the filter layout.spellcheckDefault, then edit the default spell (right click and modify)
layout.spellcheckDefault=2
3) Go to any web form and misspell some text - you'll notice the text is now underscored in red.
