The Mozilla Firefox browser have a very nice feature: the ability to add extras to enhance your browsing experience. In this article I will show you some of them.
Keeping your browser bookmarks synchronized between your desktop and, for example, your laptop computer can be a problem. To help avoid it, there's an extra that give you the possibility to keep a backup of you bookmarks online. It's called Foxmarks. It's particularly interesting because you can keep you bookmarks in your own server or in the Foxmarks server. If you want something more powerful, you can choose the Google Browser Sync, that can keep your bookmarks, history, cookies and saved password in just one place. If you think your page loading is getting slower and slower because of the flash ads, video ads, etc, you can just block then with Adblock Plus. Just install it, restart your browser, select one of the lists of ad providers, and it's done. But remember: the ads are the only way most of the sites have to pay the hosting bill, so, use with care! There's lots of sites that requires a registration just to allow you to access some information. Sadly, some of them will sell your email information to spammers. To avoid it, you can use a fake email, temporary email, to just complete your registration, with this extension, that make the use of the spamavert.com accessible with just a mouse right click, and choosing the option "Show Spamavert address". |
