Freakin' Awesome Firefox Add-Ons
Current Mood: 
CC is listening to: Adventure No. 11--Jim Chappell (Saturday's Rhapsody) I haven't looked at the list of Firefox add-ons in a while. I'm glad I checked it out. I ended up downloading 2 new add-ons, both of which are freakin' awesome :-). If you want to use them, just click on the add-on name and it'll take you to the download page :-).
- GDirections: This is my favorite. I can't tell you how many times I needed to get directions to somewhere and I had to launch a new tab, open Yahoo Maps, copy the address from one webpage, and go back to Yahoo Maps and paste it. This add-on automates the whole thing. Let's say I want directions to a restaurant. I highlight the address on the webpage, right click and hover over the GDirections menu, and then I can choose whether or not I want directions to it from my office, my boss's house, or my apartment. Then it launches a new tab with the address parts already copied and pasted. Brilliant!
- WebMailCompose: This one actually took some hunting. It's not on the Firefox add-ons page. 90% of the time, when I click on an e-mail link, I want to send mail using my webmail address, not my office address via Outlook. Now, with WebMailCompose, I can choose to send e-mail using either Yahoo, GMail or Hotmail (it can also send mail via Netscape, Mail.com, Opera, Horde, SquirrelMail, and others). So now, if I left-click on the e-mail address, it'll still send a message via Outlook, but if I right-click on the email address, it'll give me options to send it from one of my webmail accounts :-). Note: depending on the website, sometimes you have to highlight the e-mail address first.
