This is an update on the plug-ins I reviewed earlier. I noticed Firefox slowing down quite a bit, so I got rid of some & kept some. So here's the breakdown:
Fox Marks
KEEP
It is incredibly nice to have especially since I switch betwenn Mac & PC, I also have the portable version of firefox on my thumbdrive with this plug-in, so when I get on the school's PCs I can "sync" my bookmarks.
FoxyTunes
KEEP
I use this every now and then to listen to internet radio, quite convenient without the extra window.
ForcastFox
KEEP
I use this everyday! I have mine show current, tonight's and tomorrow's forecast & the animated radar. This is anothe favorite mine.
Fast Video Download
PITCH
Doesn't work all the time. Eventually just gave up.
Download Embedded
DISABLE
I kept this on, but I disabled it for the time being. I am not using, but I can see where it could come in handy.
Thumbstrips
TOSSED
To time consuming and can become confusing, I like the drop down back button or the history in Firefox that's already there...
Split Browser
DISABLED
Widows get too small and it is sometimes are to go back to tabbed view...more of a hassle really. Just disabled it though because I may use it in the future
Tab Catalog
REMOVED
I already have tabs and it's easier to flip through them.
ScribeFire
KEEP
Obviously. It is what I use to write these blogs. Get it if you write blogs anyway. Also you can be typing along and if you pkan to finish it later, you can continue to browse and bring it back up later. I wouldn't close the browser though... hadn't tried it yet.
FileUploader
DISABLED
Don't need it right now, but I will soon. Best one out there in my opinion.
Save Session
KEEP
I use this a lot especially when I am working on my computer while surfing the net, then all of a sudden I have to restart, so I just click the Save & Exit button and it will pen back everything up the next time I open firefox. Also you have the option to save session by going to the Tools menu & saving session the manually exiting later.
Toolbar Buttons
PITCHED
I have not "real" use for it.
Theme: Night Launch
TOSSED
I had trouble with my Add-ons when I used it.
Toolbar: Stumble Upon
KEEP
For wilfing....
I also added two others:
The Woot add-on. For Woots... it's a website that has a special everyday called a woot and the add on tells you what the woot is and how much it is. If you click on it, it will open a new tab and take you to the woot.
&
Download Statusbar
keeps are your downloads in the bottom bar (it isn't there all the time) It's better than having them in a "new window" Ctrl + J make it appear/disappear.
If I were to rank them by use I would say the Top 5 are:
1. Forecast Fox
2. SaveSession
3. Woot
4. ScribeFire
5. FoxMarks
