Google Browser Sync
Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers.

I’ve been needing something like this for ages ! At the moment I have to use my USB key to transfer saved password etc from my work laptop to my home pc, but the issue of security is still a big one. I don’t save my on-line bank password anywhere so that’ll be alright, but I do save various e-mail account passwords, the issue being that a google employee could hi-jack one of my accounts, ok you have to enter a PIN to encrypt the passwords, but I can’t find anything that tells me how strong the encryption is! Humm I think a risk assessment is in order

Tab Mix Plus is a cool extension adding a shed load of features to firefox tabs.

The two I find most useful are, a close button on each tab and save state! - oh yes, if firefox crashes then now you can all your open tabs back

If you do a lot of downloading, and firefox’s built in download manager isn’t for you then this extension probably is !
Available at flashgot.net this plug-in can send links to your fav’ manager, and allows that also useful download all option.

Available direct from the delicious website, this plug-in adds delicious features to firefox, such as bookmarking and tagging pages. Download Plug-in

The user agent switcher for firefox can be a really useful tool, generally firefox support is good, but some web based applications reject it because they don’t recognize the agent string, with this plug-in you can fool the web server into thing you’re using IE.

This tool bar is really cool, it allows you to outline and label important objects, verify code and much much more, highly recommend for anyone who does web development !

I found this over the weekend….

Spyware, Adware, Spam, Phishing, Viruses, Identity Theft Protection | SiteAdvisor
SiteAdvisor helps protect you from all kinds of Web-based security threats including spyware, adware, spam, viruses, browser-based attacks, phishing, online fraud and identity theft.

It seems cool, a different approach the the anit-phishing type stuff. Basically you get a simple security report about the sites you visit. The report comes in the flavour of a traffic light in your browser toolbar, green is safe - red is not. Another nice touch is the traffic light is added to our google results, so before you even click on a site you can determine how ‘hostile’ the webmaster may be.

I’ve been putting off upgrading to firefox 1.5 for ages, but my curiosity for this extension finally got the better of me !

Blogger Web Comments for Firefox
Blogger Web Comments for Firefox is an extension that makes it easy to see what bloggers are saying about a page you’re viewing in firefox

I know this isn’t exactly new news , so there are lots of places to find out about it ! I’ve been playing with it a little today, and still am undecided on whether it’s cool or annoying.

This is worth mentioning….

Sage: a feed reader for Firefox
Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed reader extension for Mozilla Firefox.

Google reader is good, but it’s still got some usability issues, mainly that the default page/interface only gives a list of unread posts, where as sometimes you only want to see (or hide) a specific feed. Obviously the downside with sage is you need firefox, but who’s not using firefox
