Firefox’s best plug ins and extensions
Download manager
The resume function of the download manager will also take care of forced restarts and system crashes. While you download the download manager will show the progress. It will also allow you to search files according to names, or web addresses from which you have downloaded the file.
Spell check
This is a built-in feature of the latest version of Firefox. It is handy while entering text directly into web pages like blog postings and Emailing. You can do these things without any reason to worry about typing mistakes. Thus, you can directly work on the internet and save your time.
Session restore
Many a times web browsers close unexpectedly while, you are browsing the web. In such cases, you lose the pages that you had been viewing while the unexpected close. However, when you are using Firefox you do not have to face this problem. Even if Firefox closes unexpectedly it will restore your session i.e. automatically open the WebPages that were open before the close.
This is actually a very very useful feature. Reopening the pages is somewhat inconvenient. Besides this, in cases like typing an email or doing, any other online work it is even more useful. For example, if you were typing an email before the close, you can pick up where you had to discontinue. Even the last character, which you had typed before the close, is restored by Firefox. Moreover the progress of downloads also is restored by Firefox. Also, note that you can restart Firefox without losing place; even after, you install a software update.
Full zoom
If you are reading a caption below a picture on your favorite news page, you can enlarge it so that you can view it clearly. This is important, as most times, the captions below any picture or chart are very small. The full zoom feature makes this possible. With the new zoom feature, you can also swoop in and view the entire web pages. You can make them scale as per your wish.
Note, that when you zoom in i.e. expand the WebPages, all the sections of that page expand in equal proportions.
Image loading
With Firefox version 3, while downloading a webpage, you can choose whether you want to view the images or not. Not viewing the images, you can save the bandwidth and also save the time required for downloading the webpage.
In addition, you can save your settings whether you want to view images for a particular site or not.
Search
Smart keywords
Smart keywords is a feature of Mozilla Firefox, which enable you to search the web in shorter time. Smart keywords are actually the keywords, which you can set for different search engines. You can set short and easy to remember keywords for search engines and therefore you do not need to type the long and complicated names while getting to them.
In addition to this, while using these ‘search engines’ you just have to enter the key word in the location bar and enter the search terms. Firefox wilt rake you directly most relevant search result. For example if you want to search for “book home building” using Amazon.com, you can just enter the keyword for amazomn.com and then type your search terms. Firefox will directly take you to the appropriate books about home building. Thus, you do not even need to pause at the homepage.
