Check out these Firefox Extensions
Last night I decided to try out a couple of Firefox extensions that I thought looked worthwhile. One was Adblock which turned out to be great. I used it on a site that previously I couldn’t even leave loaded in my browser due to all the ads constantly reloading. Adblock appears in the bottom right hand corner and when you click on it, you can highlight any of the ads on that website to disable. It works great! The other one I looked at was DownforAll which appears to be a script with a gui front end that allows you to download any or all of the images, videos or any other files from a site all in one shot and save them to the directory of your choice. Both are definitely worth checking out!

If you have use of an ftp client at all, try Fileftp which not only does a nice job at performing its intended function of allowing for transferring files to and from a ftp location of your choice but also shows how Firefox itself could be an effective file browser. The reason why I tried it was because I was having trouble with other ftp clients causing issues when uploading large volumes of files. While I haven’t had any reason to test fileftp in this aspect, I do find it useful to use it conveniently as just another tab in Firefox while I am working on the same workspace. The makers of Fileftp have provided a screenshot to demonstrate its usage. Aesthetically, it can look better depending on your theme for your Desktop. Functionally it tends to work well and the convenience it affords is nice as well. As far as I can tell, it is available for all platforms. [...]
