Some Must have add-ons for firefox..

Here is something I had trouble with initially.
Choosing the right add on for your browser.
well here are some must have add ons i personally use.



ScribeFire :

This is an amazing add on for bloggers,
you can update your blog directly online. By opening a small window under firefox
Whole lot of options to play with.

Download


IE Lite :


some Microsoft pages you would require IE to view them and its such a pain to switch between browsers i.e Firefox and Internet Explorer just for one damn website ....

Well for all Elite who prefer using Firefox over Internet explorer
what you need is an add on for Firefox

This is a cut down version of IE View by Paul Roub, which is 47.4 KB. All the same UI and features are there. It has a right click menu item to open a page in IE and a list of sites to always open in IE. It can close tabs automatically and send additional parameters to the executable. Everything's just been rebuilt from the ground up to be smaller and more efficient.

Download



FasterFox :

Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.

Faster fox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such
as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial
paint delay.

Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching
mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and
caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.

A pop up blocker for pop ups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.

Download


ADblock Plus :

Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that
often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install
Adblock Plus now and get rid of them.

I personally think this is one of the best add ons ever. no more adds on torrent websites... lol

Download


Flashgot :


Ever wished you could just download files directly to applications like bitcomet instead of normally downloading and opening the file.
well here is an extension that works really well


Download one link, selected links or all the links of a page together
at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular,
lightweight and reliable external download managers. Supported download
tools are dozens, see http://flashgot.net for details. This extension
offers also a Build Gallery functionality which helps to collect in a
single page serial movies and images scattered on several pages, for
easy and fast "download all".

Download

Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer :

another must have application. espically for people who use different computers at home and work..
makes your bookmarks available on all computer by managing your bookmarks ...

Download


TAB Mix Plus :

ab Mix Plus enhances Firefox's tab browsing capabilities. It includes
such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking
options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes
a full-featured session manager with crash recovery that can save and

Play Games in Small Screen

Wanna Play Games in Small Screen to avoid being caught in office or school...
Here some tricks you can try out..

Most of the games can be played in windowed mode. however some Microsoft games are not designed that way.
Try this........................

Place a shortcut of the game on your desktop.

Then...
Right Click on the shortcut and click on properties.
Now you will be on the shortcut tab.
Which will probably look like





















Now in the Target after the Location of the Game just ADD
-w after the apostrophe with a space in between
for Eg.
"C:\game\Game1.exe" -w
and that should start the game in windowed mode.

Thats one way of starting the game in windowed mode

or you can also try using Alt + Enter combination works on some games.

But the best tool i found so far was the D3dwindower.

Now this is an Japanese program . you wont understand any of the Options
However i will show how i managed to play Age of mythology on the internet.

First of all you will need the program.
download link : D3D Windower
 its in rar format you will require something like winrar.

extract all the files in one folder and run this particular program.
D3DWindower-English.exe
you will get a windows which looks something like this















and now comes the hard part


Click on the Plus sign and add the particular game you wanna play in windowed mode.


Once you have the program listed in .
try to start it by click on the Computer icon
*** third icon from the Right ***

If the game doesn't start
close application and try again ..
it should work.

and yeah for age of mythology you will have to go to options page
***second option from the right***
( the folder icon with tools on it )

its should look something like this.














Make sure all the option are checked in that window only for " WINDOW MODE " Tab. as illustrated above

and to start the game click on the name of the game on the list and then click on the computer icon ( third from the right )
and it should start the game in windowed mode.

you might feel a lil bet of missed accuracy with the mouse.
currently trying to find a fix for it .
email me or leave a post.

Enjoy
