5 Firefox Extensions Worth a Look

Advertisement


I just found myself browsing new Firefox Add-ons and there were a few I thought worthy of sharing. Here they are:

Temporary Inbox - generates random disposable email addresses from within the browser. Use the extension's toolbar or disable it and generate a disposable email address from the right-click context menu. Uses email addresses from site temporaryinbox.com.

CacheIt! - "displays an archived version of the web page you are viewing, or the link you are hovering. You can quickly view or copy the URL to the cache of the page. You can choose the default cache provider for the right-click menu, and if that provider doesn't have the cache you can go to the list and select another cache provider." Currently supports Google Cache, The Way-back Machine and Coral CDN.

NoSquint - allows you to adjust the default text zoom level, which is useful if you have a small display or run at a very high resolution. NoSquint also optionally remembers the zoom level per domain.

Addictive Typing Lessons - improve your touch typing skills by working through the lessons provided with the Addictive Typing Lessons Firefox Add-on.

Online Bookmark Manager - uses a 3rd party site startaid.com to store your browser bookmarks online, so that they are accessible form anywhere. No syncing necessary, as all the changes are done in real time. A handy add-on for anyone who uses multiple computers.
