Firefox Add-on Mojo

I use Firefox for just about everything -- including writing articles -- and even though Internet Explorer is playing catch-up I doubt it will ever have the vast array of fun and useful add-ons available to Firefox. These are the ones I use personally:

  • Foxmarks - Synchronizes Firefox settings between home and work computers (replaces Google Browser Sync, which Google abandoned).
  • Evernote [Website / Firefox download] - Allows saving web-based information from websites (among other things) with notes, while browsing (replaces Google Notebook, which Google abandoned).
  • IE Tab - Brings up Internet Explorer as a Firefox tab for those (dwindling) sites unfriendly to Firefox.
  • PayPal Plug-In for FireFox - Awesome tool that not only makes it simple to use PayPal for online purchases, but will also instantly generate one-time-use credit card numbers to purchase from places that don't take PayPal.  You can get the PayPal plugin by logging in to your PayPal account and looking in the left sidebar.
  • Video Download Helper for Firefox - Allows you to capture YouTube type videos as local files.  You know, just in case you find something you know that YouTube will yank within twenty minutes.
  • Xinha Here - Full WYSIWYG editor in a window.  Awesome for blogging, etc... but becoming increasingly unnecessary, due to AJAX.

There are a zillion more. This is where you can find the rest: Firefox Add-ons

Also, if you're using IE Tab and want a spell checker inside, get the Internet Explorer extension IE Spell.
