Firefox-火狐浏览器

来源：http://lifehacker.com/5070993/six-experimental-firefox-extensions-we-love

We love Firefox for its extensibility, but sometimes we run into an
extension or two that dons the “Experimental” label on the Firefox
add-ons site. We prefer highlighting extensions once they’ve been
approved by Mozilla—both so we know they’ve been vetted and so we can
save you the effort of registering with Mozilla to install something—so
we generally pass them by. When enough of them pile up in our watch
list, we highlight them in one big post (see our two previous
posts) in an effort to give the extensions the extra push of popularity
that can expedite the approval process. So without further ado, read on
for a closer look at seven awesome Firefox extensions we’re into.

FireStatus

FireStatus
lets you send simultaneous updates to multiple social networks—namely
Twitter, Facebook, and FriendFeed. That’s not a bad start, but it goes
the extra mile by also displaying your friends’ updates through
notification pop-ups (uses Growl in OS X). It also integrates with the most popular URL shrinking site, TinyURL.

Tabgroups-Plus

Tabgroups-Plus allows you to organize your Firefox tabs in even more tabs. An update to previously mentioned Tab Groups,
Tabgroups-Plus does the same drag and drop organization of tabs within
user-defined parent tabs, but this version supports Firefox 3 where the
old version did not.

GCal Popup

GCal Popup
opens Google Calendar in an overlay over any web page, giving you quick
access to your agenda without leaving the page you’re already visiting.
To toggle the calendar, simply click the Google Calendar icon in the
corner of your status bar. [via]

Noise

Noise
adds user-defined sounds to browser events in Firefox. For example, you
can set a sound to play every time you click a link, open a new tab,
start a download, and so on. To be honest, the last thing we think
Firefox needs is the irritating click-click that IE conditioned us with
at one point, but sounds can come in handy when used properly—for
example, to give you an audio heads-up that your download has
completed. [via]

Fasterfox Lite

Fasterfox Lite is the exact same extension as the popular Fasterfox extension
with one small difference: It removes the controversial link
prefetching built into Fasterfox. Prefetching automated retrieves pages
linked to on the current page so that they’ll load more quickly if and
when you do click them, but it’s generally considered poor form because
it wastes server bandwidth and adds to the server load. Fasterfox Lite
does everything else Fasterfox does, and incidentally, it supports
Firefox while Fasterfox does not. [via]

Open in Browser

Open in Browser
adds an option to the Firefox download/save/open menu that allows you
to redirect the download to open the file directly in Firefox. If
you’ve ever clicked on an image or plain text script, for example, that
forced a download when you just wanted to check it out in Firefox, Open
in Browser lets you open it back in Firefox where you wanted it to
begin with.
