Some must have features of Firefox
Video DownloadHelper: Tired of waiting while downloading a video? Get some help! The Video DownloadHelper helps you to download video, audio and image files. You can directly download videos from YouTube, Google, MySpace etc. You can convert movies to the desired format too. Using this extension, you can download movies one at a time.

Qute: This is a really great add-on. It is a theme which can be applied to your browser. It will make your browser window look neat and lively. The icons on this theme do not clutter the page. So there are no chaos and confusion. The attractive layout will also make you feel as if you are not working and will help you enjoy your browsing experience even more. Qute is compatible with Firefox 3.
All-in-One Gestures: We are all familiar with using shortcuts for the most common tasks such as cut, copy, paste etc. But if you want to avoid using the keyboard for shortcuts then you can take help of this extension. Using this extension you can make use of certain mouse gestures for shortcuts. So you don’t have to use the keyboard.
Browser Uptime: Are you an avid surfer? Or are you addicted to the internet? Then this tool might come in handy. If you don’t remember when did you start surfing and if you feel like it has been hours, then just ask this extension, how long has your session been? You can see your browser uptime by selecting the Tools menu and a new menu item called “Browser Uptime” would have been added to it. This menu item will give you the tyime of your browser session.
easyGestures: This is one really cool extension! What it does is, with a mouse click, it displays a pie shaped menu that pops in your browser window and with minimum mouse movement, it allows you to access the various menus inside the pie shaped menu. So this saves you from accessing the toolbars for selection. It also keeps you away from using the keyboard for shortcuts. It is alos highly customizable. You can personalize the menus that appear inside the pie shaped menu. It is compatible with Firefox 3.
Firesomething: All browser windows belonging to Mozilla Firefox have the same title. What if you got to change the name of the browser window? It would definitely be a good change. Your colleagues or family would be stupefied. Instead of Firefox, you could name it with your name, for e.g., “Mozilla Sam”. This changed name would be reflected in the About and Help menus. This application can also randomly generate names for the browser. Also, you can have the same new name for all the browser windows that you open or a different name for each.
FLST: This add-on seems to have been made for the users convenience. Mozilla Firefox gives you a multi tabbed browsing experience. So, if you have many tabs at a time, then while closing the currently opened tab, this extension shifts the focus to that tab which had been selected previously. This facility should have been provided by default.
FastDial: This extension definitely lightens up your browser. If you haven’t typed any url in the address bar and the page is blank, then this extension displays thumbnails of your favorite sites. You can click on a thumbnail and then that particular site will open. If there are empty thumbnail icons then just click on them and type the url of the site to be assigned. If there are some other sites that you want to add then right click on them and choose the add site option.
