The FireFox
Extensions I do not want to live
without .....
When it comes to add-ons for
FireFox, these are the ones that
I do not want to live without
:-)
They help me with both graphics
and other tasks, work like a
charm, and are FREE :-)
ColorZilla -
puts an eyedropper icon in your
status bar. Click it and you'll
get a crosshair cursor. As you
run this over a Web page, the RGB
values of the pixel under the
crosshair will display in the
status bar, both as three
separate values and as a hex
value (e.g., R:255, G:255, B:255
| #FFFFFF). I use this all the
time if I'm trying to match
colors; i.e. a font color to an
the primary background on an
image, for example.
MeasureIt
- After installing this
extension, you'll have a small
ruler icon on the left side of
your status bar. When you click
on it, your browser window will
fade out a little, and you'll
have a crosshair cursor. Drag the
cursor over a section of the
screen that you want to measure.
Next to the box is its height and
width, measured in pixels. I use
this all the time when trying to
measure the size of images. When
you're finished, just hit the
Escape key to turn it off and
return to normal viewing of the
page.
Session
Manager
- Session Manager helps you
manage your FireFox tabs. If you
visit the same sites every day,
all you need do is open all the
sites in separate tabs and/or
windows, and then use Session
Manager to save the session with
a distinct name. Then, you simply
go to Tools > Session Manager,
pick your session, and all the
windows and tabs open up just as
you saved them. And, Session
Manager tracks your sessions as
you surf, and if FireFox (or your
system) crashes, you can recover
the selection of tabs you had
open when it crashed.
XMarks
- XMarks (formerly Foxmarks)
provides seamless bookmark
synchronization between your
computers and browsers via their
synchronization server. Your
bookmark (and optionally
password) data is securely stored
and backed up on their servers
and is available online, as well.
After you install the add-on,
click on the notification to set
up Xmarks and start backing up
and synchronizing your bookmarks.
Install Xmarks on each computer
you use, and it seamlessly
integrates with your web browser
and keeps your bookmarks safely
backed up and in sync across all
of your computers. Secure
Password Sync is an optional
Xmarks feature.
