Firefox is great, right? Well, it's even greater when you have the right extensions.
Check out these new Firefox extensions. Once you try them, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them:
Skipscreen -- Tell download sites you don't have time for shenanigans
Ever try to grab a file from a download site? Yeah, those sites are great because they allow people to host just about any type of file and offer it for download. But they really (really!) get under your skin when they make you jump through hoops just to start the download.
Who wants to wait around for 3 minutes, fill out a bunch of bizarre captchas, and spend eternity hunting around for the "real" download link, just to download a file?
Well, there's good news. the SkipScreen Firefox extension lets you cruise right past all that rigamarole. It's like being in the carpool lane of the internet, without someone sitting right next to you at your computer desk.
Skipscreen goes about its business getting you right to your download page as soon as possible, without you having to do any of the hard work. It's worth its weight in gold!
Dislike 0.2 -- Tell Facebook what you really think
Everywhere you go, you run into that pesky little Facebook like (or recommend) button. But what if you really hate the webpage? What if the mere thought of reading it makes your skin crawl like nails on a chalkboard?
If the page you're on fills you with rage, hatred, and an intense, burning desire to do something -- anything -- to put it in its place, once and for all, try the Dislike 0.2 firefox extension.
This extension adds a dislike button to the page. So you can tell the world (or at least your online friends) how much you hated that web page they convinced you to visit. That'll show 'em!
Memory Fox -- Keep it running fast and loose
Firefox runs great when you first install it.
But after you hook up a few extensions, plug-ins, and other doo-dads, it begins to poke along like a sleepy snail.
The Memory Fox Firefox extension gets you back to your old Firefox -- the one you fell in love with -- by keeping an eye on its memory usage and forcing it to go easy on the RAM. It's like a drill sergeant for your browser; it doesn't let it get away with anything that'll slow it down.
Vacuum Places Improved
Browser running too slowly? The vacuum places improved extension makes Firefox blazingly fast by defragmenting the database, automatically.
Don't suffer with tortoise-slow browser performance again, just because it's been too long since Firefox took care of its housekeeping duties. This extension means you'll never need to go delving into that "Tools" menu again (unless you really want to, that is).
