Merit North West Favourite Firefox Add-Ons

By meritnorthwest

The Merit team have all recently upgraded to Firefox 3.  As you know, Firefox can be customised to work exactly how you like it to, from different add-ons,  themes, plugins, toolbars and tab features.

Here are some of our favourites which we have tried over the last few days.  You can download them directly from this our blog by clicking the green buttons below, or click the Add-On header which will take you to the external website to check for updates if you wish.

Better Gmail 2

Add useful extra features and skins to Gmail, like hierarchical labels, macros, file attachment icons, and more.

Better GReader

Preview web pages inline in Google Reader, collapse the header and sidebar for more reading area, get a Mac OS X like skin, add favicons to feed subscriptions and more with Better GReader.

ColourfulTabs

The most beautiful yet the simplest add-on that makes a strong colorful appeal. Flock version available at http://binaryturf.com/software/colorfultabs-for-flock/. Colors every tab in a different color and makes them easy to distinguish while beautifying the overall appearance of the interface.

Greasemonkey

Allows you to customize the way a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.

Hundreds of scripts, for a wide variety of popular sites, are already available at http://userscripts.org

Google Preview

Inserts preview images (thumbnails) and popularity ranks of web sites into the Google and Yahoo search results pages.
