You Can Never Have Enough Firefox Extensions!

I must give it to this guy at CyberNet for having attempted to install 200 Firefox extensions. It takes about 6 minutes to load the browser with all these extensions installed. That's not bad, but no thanks! :)

QuickNote - Firefox Extension

I've just downloaded another Firefox extension called QuickNote. It allows me to take note from within Firefox. I can open it in a seperate window, a new tab, or a sidebar. As a web developer, I tend to switch between NotePad and Firefox a lot but not anymore. Thanks to QuickNote. This extension is my new favorite. You should give it a try too. Download it here. Let me know what you think.

If you haven't done so already, you should go ahead and download Firefox browser. It comes with extensions and themes that you can download and install to improve your browsing experience.

Firefox and Thunderbird

My favorite browser and email programs at the moment are Mozilla Firefox (v. 1.5) and Thunderbird (v. 1.0.7). Both of them are free and very compact in size, so you won't have any problem downloading them at all. Now I can use my Gmail email account with Thunderbird. Pretty cool!One of the coolest extensions for Firefox is the Web Developer Toolbar. It adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools. It is designed for Firefox, Flock and Mozilla, and will run on any platform that these browsers support including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. If you are a web developer like myself, you should definitely get it.
