40 productivity tips for Firefox(Part 2)

11. Tab Mix Plus

Get complete control over Firefox’s tab handling, from the way tabs look to the way they work, with Tab Mix Plus.

12. User Agent Switcher

Browser sniffers stopping you from seeing sites? Pretend you’re using a rubbish browser by changing the user agent string with User Agent Switcher.

13. IE View

Sometimes you need to view or test a page in IE. IE View is a Windows-only extension that makes it a one-click job.

14. IE Tab

Does much the same as IE View, but opens IE within a Firefox tab. Once again IE Tab is Windows-only.

15. Sage

Firefox’s RSS support is pretty basic. Sage gives you a fully-featured RSS and Atom feed reader that’s a joy to use.

16. HideBad

Pretend you’re busy working with this excellent boss key. Not only does HideBad replace the current tabs with safe ones, but it zaps your browsing history, too.

17. Download Statusbar

Keep track of and control your file downloads without leaving the main browser window with Download Statusbar.

18. DownThemAll

Download every link or linked image from a web page in one fell swoop, filtering out unwanted file types automatically with DownThemAll.

19. FoxyTunes

FoxyTunes lets you control your music player, or take advantage of Yahoo’s online MP3 player, while you wander around the web.

20. Gmail Space

So unofficial that Google will probably kill you if it catches you using it, Gmail Space turns Gmail into an online hard disk.
