Hello dear readers of the blog site! It's time to provide you with a selection of add-ons for your own interpretation. Mazila's developers went their own way and initially provided a minimal set of options in the functionality of this browser, and the rest of the features should be added as a variety of extensions depending on the needs of a particular user.
Thus, Firefox has become the owner of the richest set of plugins of all competitors. This circumstance alone is capable of luring many users to his side. True, recently, the brainchild of the mighty Google, the Chrome web browser has become a full-fledged competitor to Mozilla in this aspect. By the way, if you are a fan of it, then you can get acquainted with a very informative article describing the most popular.
How to download and install Firefox extensions
First, let's look at where and how you can download plugins for Mazila. To do this, you need to visit a special page, where all add-ons are systematized by category in order to facilitate the search:
To install the selected extension in the Mozilla browser, click on its name and go to the following web page, where we see concise information on this add-on (current version, author's name with a link to a personal page, a short description):
We press the green button "Add to Firefox", by this action we activate the download of the extension to the browser. The operation is simple and does not require any additional effort. In a few seconds, you will receive confirmation that the extension has been successfully installed in your Firefox.
At the same time, a new tab with a page will open in the Mozilla Firefox browser, where you can get acquainted with more detailed information on the downloaded plug-in, including its current and previous versions, having received data on the frequency of its updates.
Then you can click on the icon with three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the browser window (in my opinion, this icon is borrowed from the developers of Chrome) and select the "Add-ons" section from the drop-down menu:
As a result of these gestures, we move to the appropriate tab, where you can perform various actions with the installed plugins, including setting, disabling or even completely removing:
This is followed by plugins for Firefox, which I have divided into two categories: the first will be of interest to all users without exception, and the second is useful to people who use the browser for professional purposes, that is, webmasters, optimizers or developers.
Firefox plugins for all users
1. Video DownloadHelper is a very functional plug-in for Firefox, which provides the ability to quickly and easily download media files from any video hosting service. After installation and activation, a rotating icon will appear in the upper right corner of the browser, after clicking on which a window will pop up, in which all the most significant resources will be presented, from where you can download the video:
After selecting the desired resource, for example, YouTube, click on the appropriate line and you will find yourself on the following web page, which is the property of the developer of this extension:
There you need to click on the big green "Visit to YouTube" button. As a result, you will be transferred to the home page of this video giant. After going to the page with a certain video you have chosen, you can download it by selecting the appropriate option from the drop-down menu:
Here you can: download and convert a video file, perform a quick download (to the default folder), upload to the directory you need, etc. In my opinion, this is the best addition in its class at the moment.
2. WOT is an extension for Mazila, which provides protective functions when surfing the Internet in terms of identifying various HS sites and suspicious information resources, including those infected with viruses. The more users install this add-on in their browser, the larger the database will be at our disposal, since everyone can make a note about the level of reliability of this or that web resource:
This level is expressed in a certain color in the spectrum from red to green (red circle - the highest degree of unreliability, green - white and fluffy resource). Moreover, you can filter out untrustworthy sites right on the search results page, where they will be marked with the appropriate icons:
3. FireGestures - this extension facilitates in many ways the work on the Internet, speeding up, for example, operations with tabs using the movement of the mouse. Read more about this add-on in the article on Google Chrome extensions linked at the beginning of this article.
4. Tab Mix Plus - allows you to perform numerous operations with tabs open in Mazil. The necessary settings can be adjusted by going to the "Extensions" tab and clicking on the corresponding button. For example, it is possible to customize the following links, opening, closing tabs, merging and cloning.
You can also define the hotkeys that are most convenient for you for each action. For some users it is convenient to use the mouse in a special way when managing tabs, this is also implemented in this add-on.
5. Adblock Plus is a very convenient extension nowadays, when the Internet is full of ads. But, as you know, radical methods directed in one direction or the other, usually do not lead to a completely satisfactory result. Again, there is my favorite rule of the "golden mean", which is taken into account in this Firefox add-on in the form of settings that allow you to block various kinds of annoying ads, but display unobtrusive and very often useful ad units.
6. Personas Plus - an add-on that makes it possible to make the appearance of your browser more attractive and convenient for work by choosing among a variety of new, popular and selected themes for Mozilla Firefox (about themes for all the most popular browsers).
7. Gmail Manager - this plugin to speed up and facilitate the work with your mail correspondence GMail. The tool will allow you to receive, among other things, timely notifications about the arrival of new letters to all your accounts. To get started, click on the icon of this add-on in the upper right corner of the Mazila window and enter the necessary data for authorization:
In the already known tab "Extensions" of the Firefox browser, you will find settings for this manager, the parameters of which you can use in your favor in terms of usability.
8. ScrapBook is a Firefox extension for capturing web pages, including their full content (elements such as images, styles, JavaScript, URL). Allows you to save pages as an HTML file, create multiple databases from captured documents that can be edited.
This tool, like many other useful plugins, contains a large number of settings, and is also very easy to use. After installing the plugin, press the right mouse button, in the context menu that appears, you will see additional options belonging to ScrapBook:
9. Text Link - sometimes on web pages there are inactive links provided in text format for one reason or another. So this add-on speeds up the opening of such URLs, saving you from additional unnecessary gestures. After downloading and installing Text Link and after selecting the link given in text format, additional options will appear in the context menu:
The main advantage, in my opinion, is that you can open a web page in a new tab without even highlighting the link, but simply placing the cursor on it and double-clicking the left button in accordance with the default settings, which, of course, you can change ...
10. - you can get a very clear idea of it by reading the article on the link provided. Let me just say that this extension makes it possible to go to the desired web pages in one click. In addition, this add-on generates a selection of the most visited sites and changes the background in two clicks as your heart desires.
Firefox add-ons for webmasters and SEOs
1. - the most successful plugin, in my humble opinion, of all the extensions of this class. It may well serve as a tutorial for novice webmasters in the practical study of HTML and CSS, and is also an excellent assistant in editing the elements of the website pages:
It should be noted here that at the present stage in each of the most popular browsers (about which browser is better) there are built-in tools of this kind. They can be activated as follows:
- In the same Firefox, right-click on the open page and select the "Explore Element" item from the context menu (an alternative way is to press the F12 key)
- In Google Chrome - from the menu, click on the line "View element code" (F12)
- In the latest versions of IE - "Check element" (F12)
- In Opera - "Inspect Element"
Despite all this diversity, still Firebug seems to me a more successful solution in every sense. But this is just my subjective opinion, so the choice is yours.
2. is a great addition, especially for those who are trying to improve their practical skills in website layout.
3. - if you follow this link, you will get a complete picture of the broadest possibilities of this super tool, which provides a very significant help in SEO website promotion, providing a full range of important parameters in relation to the selected object:
For example, I use this plugin when analyzing potential donors when purchasing backlinks from exchanges, GoGetTop, WebArtex, MiraLinks. Let's continue and see what other useful extensions for Mozilla Firefox exist that are suitable for this section.
4. SeoQuake - this add-on for Firefox is analogous to the previous one. However, it has an essential feature that can be extremely useful. Namely, it provides an opportunity to contemplate all SEO indicators right on the search results page, and for all resources at once, allowing you to visually compare them immediately:
5. - allows you to perform various operations with color shades, including capturing the color of certain elements directly from an open web page (for this you need to select the first line from the drop-down menu):
The mouse cursor turns into a crosshair, which you bring to the desired element of the page, as a result, you get its color characteristics:
If you click on this element with the left mouse button, the code of its color will be copied to the clipboard. In the settings, you can enrich the required functionality.
6. SEO Status PageRank / Alexa Toolbar - displays several very important indicators, monitoring of which can help not only in assessing your own web resource, but also, for example, in analyzing the competitive projects of your website:
I provided this add-on mainly due to the presence here not only of PageRank from Google, but also the most important parameter Alexa Rank, which is an indirect indicator of site traffic (the lower the value, the more successful this site is in this regard).
Of course, the Firefox extensions presented above are just a small fraction of all the possible add-ons, both general and specialized. I hope that in the comments you will express your point of view and supplement this list by making reasonable suggestions on this topic. I also hope that you will not hesitate to click on the buttons of the social networks located just below if the material turned out to be at least a little useful to you.
As you know, the basic Firefox installation package contains only basic surfing tools - the vast majority of additional functions are implemented through the installation of extensions created by third-party developers. This allows users to customize the browser according to their needs, independently completing the set of software modules they need. The range of possibilities implemented through add-ons is incredibly wide - they can be used to completely change the appearance of the browser, add additional buttons and panels to it, and even introduce completely new functionality, for example, teach the browser to translate pages, perform the functions of an FTP client, etc. etc. The vast majority of add-ons, along with a brief description, are available at addons.mozilla.org. Installing add-ons is straightforward - just click on the appropriate link on the add-on's web page. After that, a window will appear asking for permission to install the add-on, and if the user answers positively, the add-on will be installed. Installed add-ons are available from the "Tools" menu or through additional appearing panels, buttons and menus (depending on the specific add-on), and their management (editing add-on settings, updating them, deleting or disabling) is usually carried out in the add-on manager, opened using the command Tools> Add-ons. From the add-ons manager, you can also install new add-ons from the recommended list.
By default, the browser will periodically check for new versions for installed add-ons and automatically install them. If this approach does not suit you, then you can turn off automatic updating - that is, uncheck the "Updates installed add-ons" box in the "Options" window ("Tools"> "Options" command, "Advanced" tab). In this case, you will need to periodically check for updates by opening the Add-ons Management window (Tools> Add-ons), selecting the add-on and clicking the Find Updates button. Firefox must be restarted to complete the installation of add-ons or their updates. When updating the browser itself, you need to keep in mind that such an operation can easily lead to the fact that a couple of favorite add-ons with the new version of Firefox refuse to work, since the extensions are not updated at the same time with the browser, but later. So there is clearly no need to rush with this issue. We have already written about some useful add-ons for Mozilla Firefox, and in this article we will look at a number of interesting software modules.
Fast surfing
Quick access to frequently visited sites in Firefox is carried out through regular bookmarks or "smart" folders in the bookmarks bar. In addition, it is easy to configure the browser to quickly open some specific pages using the add-ons Session Manager, Morning Coffee or Speed Dial, which will be useful if during the Internet surfing process you often (and maybe daily) have to download some and the same pages - say, some kind of news or thematic resources. Session Manager ensures saving (automatically or by selecting the appropriate command manually) the entire session (that is, the state of all open tabs). As a result, on subsequent openings, the browser can independently or at the user's request open the desired session (and not just the last one, as Firefox itself can) and restore the state of all tabs open in this session. The add-on behavior is configured using the "Tools"> "Session Manager"> "Session Manager Settings" command.If desired, you can create several such work sessions and quickly open them by using the "Tools"> "Session Manager"> "Session Name" command or by selecting the name of the required session from the Session Manager panel. It is easy to drag the named panel to the browser toolbar using the "View"> "Toolbars"> "Customize" command. Such a set of sessions is convenient not only for quickly opening frequently visited pages, but also those that you visit only from time to time or just plan to visit again, but do not consider it reasonable to save page addresses as bookmarks.
Using the add-on Morning coffee you can also open multiple sites with one click. Moreover, a selection of sites downloaded on the machine can depend on the day of the week, which is quite important, since there are many resources where updates are made on specific days of the week, which means that you do not need to download them every day at the beginning of work. To add a resource to the fast loading list for a specific day (a combination of days, only on weekdays or weekends), after opening the corresponding site, call the "Add site to list" command from the Morning Coffee panel and specify the desired day or combination of days, or open the settings window and manually add the site url. And to quickly open the compiled site digest, just use the "Download sites list" command.
Addition Speed Dial it is used in a slightly different way and equips Firefox with a quick launch bar - in fact, the same as that found in Opera and a number of other browsers. With this add-on, the browser can remember up to nine user-specified sites and display them as thumbnails. In the future, the memorized sites can be loaded from the quick access tab, which opens automatically in a new window or tab (if the corresponding checkboxes are enabled in the add-on settings) or manually via the Speed Dial button. For this button to appear on the toolbar, you will need to enable the corresponding checkbox during the initial setup of the add-on, or later add the button to the main panel (the "Customize" command from the context menu called on the toolbar). There are two ways to add sites to the Speed Dial list - using the "Set in Speed Dial" command of the "Bookmarks" menu or using the same command, but referring to it from the context menus that appear when you click on the required tab or page. However, the second option will be possible only after adjusting the plugin settings.
The add-on can make the surfing process more convenient. ThumbStrips... After installing this add-on, mini-screenshots will be automatically created for all visited pages, placed in the form of a tape at the bottom of the screen (the tape appears / disappears by clicking on the Open / close ThumbStrips button). This will allow you to return to the previously visited pages much faster, because for such a return you no longer have to repeatedly click on the "Back" button, but it will be enough to scroll through the screenshots tape and click on the snapshot of the page you are interested in, which will lead to its loading. If necessary, the required sets of screenshots (it is wiser to delete unnecessary screenshots before that) - that is, those pointing to the pages that are planned to be accessed in the future, can be saved to disk. This will allow the next surfing to quickly load the set of screenshots of interest and the corresponding web pages.
If you have to regularly visit some web resources and it is important for you not to miss the appearance of any new information on them (for example, about software updates, changes in prices, quotes, exchange rates and any other information important for your business), then this process should be automated. How? You can, say, install the WebSite-Watcher web scanner - this solution will scrupulously monitor any content updates on the specified sites and promptly notify the user about this, but you will have to pay 29.95 (Basic Edition) or even 49.95 (Personal Edition) for it. ) euro. There is a simpler and at the same time free option to achieve a similar result - use the plugin Update Scanner, which will conscientiously monitor web pages for updates and, if any, notify the user about this via a notification window that pops up in the lower right corner of the screen.
Such monitoring is performed with the frequency specified in the page settings, and all changes are highlighted on the pages with a yellow marker - that is, you will not need to spend time looking at the changed pages in full, which is very convenient.
If you often have to download many pages without being sure that they contain the information you need, it makes sense to install the add-on Cooliris previews... This add-on provides the so-called pre-surfing, in which the page opens in a small temporary additional window (which is faster than normal page loading), according to the information in which you can navigate whether you need to open it at all. The technology for such an opening is simple - when you hover the mouse over the link of interest, a small blue icon appears next to it, and when you move the mouse over this icon, a preview window opens. If necessary, this window can be hidden in a temporary tab, and then at any time you can look at it again. In addition to previewing, Cooliris Previews provides the ability to search for specific words on thefreedictionary.com, Google Images, Google Search, or Wikipedia. In practice, this means the following - you can select one or another unfamiliar word on an open page and, through the context menu, start a search for this word, for example, in the Wikipedia encyclopedia.
And if you need to load several adjacent links on an open page, then the addition will help to significantly speed up the process. Snap links, which provides a group opening of all links selected in the block. That is, the user will only need to select the appropriate block of links while holding down the right mouse button - and the browser will start loading the corresponding pages in separate tabs. If necessary, in the settings it is also easy to change the recognition mechanism and the way of opening links - for example, make the middle mouse button responsible for the selection function and open links in separate windows, not tabs. Unfortunately, this add-on only works with old versions of Firefox (1.0+ - 3.0a8), and its author has not yet responded to the numerous requests from Snap Links fans to update the add-on to work under Firefox 3.5.
SnoozeTabs is a new way to manage tabs that allows you to open them at a specific time. Mozilla plans to make this feature standard in the future, but is currently testing it as a separate extension. After installation, a new button will appear on the browser panel, when you click on it, a pop-up window will open. In it you will see stylish icons that allow you to choose the next appearance of the currently open page. You can download the extension.
Capture & Print
Very often a situation arises when it is necessary to print the page of interest to us, not entirely, but only a certain part. For example, we are only interested in a fragment of an article or a few pictures in the gallery. There are several ways to solve this problem, but the simplest one is provided by the Capture & Print extension. With its help, you can simply select the necessary content on the page and immediately send it to print.
Video preview
The YouTube service contains not only millions of videos on any topic, but also a huge number of comments to them, from which you can sometimes glean more useful information than from the video sequence. For their convenient study, and at the same time as watching a video, there is an extension.
Puzzle
Firefox browser differs from all competitors in a large number of interface customization options. The Puzzle add-on proves this once again. It adds a number of custom panels to Firefox, giving users the ability to group the buttons of installed add-ons in the most convenient way. At the same time, the program interface does not become overloaded, because each panel you create appears only when you hover the mouse.
KeeFox
You know that LastPass has a surprise, right? In this regard, many users decided to look for an affordable alternative password storage solution just in case, the best of which turned out to be KeePass. And the extension will allow you to integrate this open source service with the Firefox browser.
Clean links
This is a small extension that every Firefox user should have in their arsenal. It can recognize sponsored, affiliate and all sorts of other "crooked" links and turn them into normal ones, that is, directly leading to the desired site. In addition, it cuts off various tracking additives in links that transmit the history of your movements.
Tab Groups Helper
In recent versions of Firefox, the developers have removed the Panorama feature, which allows you to group open tabs into sets. If you actively used this feature and now you are missing it, then try the extension. It allows you to distribute open tabs into several groups and work with them separately.
Highlightor
If you are preparing a report, abstract or research work, then you probably had to use various sites as a source of information. The extension greatly facilitates such tasks, allowing you to select and save the necessary fragments in your own storage. The selections you make are saved even after you restart your browser, so you can always view them later.
Beyond Australis
This extension will appeal to fans of minimalism. With Beyond Australis, you can make the already modest browser interface even more laconic. Basically, all that's left of it is a thin strip of tabs on top. All other panels will be hidden and will appear only when you hover the mouse cursor over certain active areas of the program window.
Firefox for iPhone and iPad
The last item on this list, although not related to extensions, is so important to Mozilla that we could not help but recall it in the end of the year. Entering a new platform is always an important step, and if it is iOS with its huge fleet of gadgets, then it is doubly important. Let's say right away that the debut turned out to be quite successful and our browser gave the new browser a high rating.
I decided to give a name to today's article, since in fact I am going to give a very large list of useful extensions with a Russian description for them. All known extensions and add-ons can of course be found on the official website, but sometimes people do not know what to look for or do not know the name of the plugin they need. In the list you will find browser add-ons for working with tabs and bookmarks, add-ons to improve the security of your browser and many others ... I hope this collection will be useful to you.
