Picking the best Firefox addons to run depends entirely on what you want your browser to do. These top five addons have been picked for the functionality they bring to Firefox, adding more than what any browser should be able to do.
- 1. FireFTP – FireFTP – turns Firefox into a robust FTP client which can be used directly from the browser, with no need to open a separate client. It supports all of the features you’d expect from an FTP client, including CHMOD.
- 2. FoxyTunes – This allows you to control your music collection directly from Firefox, with no need to run another client such as iTunes or Winamp. It supports playlists and pause and resume, which makes it just as robust as any other media player.
- 3. FoxClocks – FoxClocks is great if you do business or pleasure with people from around the globe. It can be difficult in keeping up with what time it is in the many timezones in which you have friends, but adding their location to FoxClocks will quickly tell you at a glance the time in many different locations.
- 4. Smart Bookmarks Bar – Many people recognize their bookmarks by the favicon alone, so there’s no need to have the text of the bookmark showing on your bookmark bar. In fact, if you have tons of bookmarks, you might not be able to fit them onto the bar. Smart Bookmarks Bar hides the text, making more bookmarks fit on your bookmark bar.
- 5. Google Redesigned – If you’re an avid user of Gmail and other Google services such as Reader and Calendar, you’ll love this addon. It gives your Google applications a uniform look which isn’t as white and simple as the rest of Google, making for a pleasing experience. Support for Google Docs is coming soon.
