Some Nice & Useful Firefox Extensions

I am using Firefox v2.0.0.3


Linkification

Converts text links into genuine, clickable links. Actually it makes unclickable links clickable.

FEBE (Firefox Extension Backup Extension)

FEBE backs up your extensions, themes, and (optionally) your bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies and just about everything else Firefox offers (it can even backup/restore your entire profile).

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.

CLEO (Compact Library Extension Organizer)


CLEO is a Firefox extension that works with FEBE* to package any number of extensions/themes into a single, installable .xpi file.

Why? Consider this: I, as an extension developer, have several different Firefox profiles. Whenever I start a new extension, I create a new profile for testing, debugging, etc. In this profile, I like to have a dozen or so developer related extensions installed. With CLEO, I can packaged all these extensions together into a single, installable xpi.

You may have a list of your favorite extensions/themes that you would like to share with others. With CLEO, you can gather them all together into a single file (called, perhaps, "My favorite extensions.xpi") and post them on a webpage. Others can install the whole batch with a just a couple of clicks!

Image Zoom


Adds zoom functionality for images

Easily zoom in, zoom out, fit image to screen or set custom zoom on individual images within a web page. All this can be done by using the context menu or a combination of mouse buttons and scroll wheel. Handy to see the finer details of smaller pics or to make very large pics fit within your screen

Page Zoom - Zoom all images on a web page with a single command or make all images on a page zoom with the browsers text zoom feature .

Menu Editor


Avoid the clutter when you right click or in the main menu items. disable or rearrange them

Rearrange or remove menuitems from the main context menu (right-click menu) and main menubar (File Edit View etc.)

Paste & Go 2


Similar to the opera feature. Paste URL and Load the site in one go. No need of clicking on the 'go' button after pasting the URL/Link in the address bar. paste & Search included.

Paste and Go 2 lets you Paste Text and Load/Search It Immediately.

Rewind/Fastforward Buttons


This provides "Rewind" and "Fastforward" buttons for the toolbar, to back/forward histories quickly.

And, this detects links which refer to next or previous pages automatically. If the URI includes a numeric part, it can be incremented/decremented like by EZNav extension.

You can use "Back" and "Forward" buttons as "Rewind/Previous Page" and "Fastforward/Next Page" button, if you don't want to put custom buttons in the toolbar.

This feature will help you to read long series of documents like novels, technical specifications, blogs, and others. (The detection rules can be customized.)

Options Menu


An extension that provides quick access to the options dialogs of installed extensions. Access is via an 'Extension Options' cascade menu on the Tools menu or by a Toolbar icon

About Giveaway of the day project

Welcome to Giveaway of the day project, the new initiative in the software distribution world! Every day we offer for FREE licensed software you’d have to buy otherwise!

Our new initiative, Giveaway of the day, is finally open to its visitors and ready to present hot software titles and best software authors from all over the world. For game giveaways check out Game Giveaway of the Day.We wish you a Happy Giveaway!

Giveaway of the day is a win-win solution for both publishers and clients

The idea behind this initiative is that many sites and publishers offer trial downloads; but only we offer giveaway downloads. What does that mean?

Basically, every day we nominate one software title that will be a Giveaway title of that day. The software will be available for download for 24 hours (or more, if agreed by software publisher) and that software will be absolutely free. That means - not a trial, not a limited version - but a registered and legal version of the software will be free for our visitors*.

The software product will be presented in its full functionality, without any limitations save for those mentioned in Terms and Conditions.

The download link will remain on our web-site for the agreed period of time, together with the review of the software product and the information about other products from the software publisher presenting the giveaway title.

Both reviews and the information on the product line will remain active even when the Giveaway period is over.

The information about Giveaway of the day and the participants of this initiative will be included in our newsletters and distributed among our visitors and subscribers.

We will pay the software publisher for the Giveaway license, and our visitors will only receive those after downloading a special verification program and agreeing to the Terms and Conditions, thus protecting software publishers’ interests and making our initiative beneficial for both clients and publishing companies.

We believe that Giveaway of the day will allow both publishers and clients to meet each other and win together with our initiative.
