Firefox Browser

The Firefox browser is an excellent browser among the available ones today. I found an interesting article that compares the Firefox browser and the IE browser (Internet Explorer).

Some of the interesting features are;

• Tabbed browsing
• Popup blocking
• Prevent scripts from doing various things
• More control over text zooming
• Block images from third party sites
• Cross-platform
• Open Source
• Huge range of extensions and ease of installing extensions

Read all the 101 things that the Mozilla browser can do that IE cannot.

I installed some more extensions for Firefox today which are listed below.

• CustomizedGoogle
  Adds a selected set of search sites like yahoo, ask jeeva,.. to your google search result page. Also provide an easy customization.
• Tab X
  This is an extension I was looking for. This adds a close button to each browser tab which is not available in default Firefox.
• Gmail Notifier
  Browser notifies for new mails. Still only the new mail arrival is shown, but showing the mail headings would improve the extensions popularity.
  
• Resize Search Box
  Another feature that I was expecting from the default Firefox installation, how ever now I can resize the search box at the top right corner.
• Show IP
  This shows the IP of the site.
• Flash Block
  Allows the user to decide whether to play or stop the flash contents in the site.

What is your idea on these extensions?
