TechBite: 7 Tools to Make Firefox Shine

By Steve Bass

Here are a few of the cooler Firefox add-ons I'm using. Give them a whirl and let me know what you think.

1. AutoPager does the clicking for you and automatically scrolls through those annoying multiple-page sites--way convenient.

2. If you're an advanced user with lots of extensions, you'll definitely want to install MR Tech Toolkit; it's the tool for installing and managing extensions, add-ons and themes.

   try TidyRead. along w/autopager it makes reading long articles a pleasure. works w/almost any site, clears out distractions and fits the page to your screen, no more scrolling back and forth. well worth checking out.

   Do you really realize how much jargon you use and how much your vocabulary does not communicate anything?

   i am canceling future e-mails, as most of what I get is jiberish.

   One of my favorite extensions is IE Tab. Got a site that wants IE ONLY! Ugly, I hates them. But I hate even more having to open IE when I'm in the middle of a Firefox session.
   So I switch the Rendering Engine and have IE within my FF tabs!
   When that tab is switched to IE, it is using IE Cookies file, and it's printer drivers.
   You must have IE on the computer for this to work, but at least you are not always opening IE just to deal with a stoopid website.
