I have been using Firefox for a good while now and one of the best features is the fact you can use add-ons. So I thought I would tell you which ones I use and why.

Download Statusbar - View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar - without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing.

Fasterfox - Performance and network tweaks for Firefox. Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay.

Html Validator - HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation inside Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon in the status bar when browsing.

IE Tab - An extension from Taiwan, features: Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox. This is a great tool for web developers, since you can easily see how your web page displayed in IE with just one click and then switch back to Firefox.

Foxy Tunes - Do you listen to Music while surfing the Web? FoxyTunes lets you control almost any media player and find lyrics, covers, videos, bios and much more with a click right from your browser.

So hope you enjoy these. And please use Firefox, its so much better than IE (and I used to be a hardcore IE fan). All Firefox add-ons can be found at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
