FIREFOX ADD-ONS 1
Do you use Mozilla’s “Firefox” web browser?
No? Still stuck with Internet Explorer because it’s “what you know”? I’ll give you two good reasons to think about changing right now.
One of the great things I find about Firefox, other than its security and comparative unhackability, is how it’s constantly being updated and bettered by “add-on” features. Unlike with some major browsers, which change only when their parent company decides to bring out an entire new version, Firefox is always offering new and exciting stuff. Making your browsing experience easier, quicker and more fun.
You can see a list of the add-ons Firefox is currently recommending by going to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/?sort=featured. In the meantime, however, I’m going to focus on just one of them.
Clear Fields
If, like me, you spend a lot of time cutting and pasting keyword phrases and URLs into search boxes and navigation windows, you’ll appreciate this add-on.
When you’re doing a search, you have to erase the contents of the field you’ve been using (control + A and then “Delete” or dragging the cursor over everything and “Delete”), which, although simple enough, can be a pain if you’re doing a serious number of searches for several things.
The Clear Fields add-on acts as an eraser. Simply press the eraser icon next to the field you’re about to use (search box, address box, whatever it might be) and then put in what you’re going to look for.
That probably sounds a bit lame and I haven’t really done it justice, but it’s a handy little application that you’ll soon find indispensable. G’wan.
This is where you’ll find it:
addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2408 .
All add-ons have been made by programmers not affiliated with Firefox. They just made them (for free) because… Well, because
they could. Yes. In other words, they’re geeks. That’s not a dirty word, in my book. I love geeks. I wish I were clever enough to be one.
To paraphrase what Bill Gates is supposed to have said, be kind to geeks. One day you might end up working for one.
