The Best of Firefox Extensions
Dan Sippy, Jan 07, 2007 1300 hrs IST
The major factor differentiating Mozilla from IE is that you can add extensions to Firefox. Let's list out some happening extensions for Firefox.
AI RoboForm
RoboForm is a Password Manager and Web Form Filler that completely automates password entering and form filling over the Internet. It allows you to define your personal profile or "usual responses" to a web form. This information is then saved, and when you need to fill a form, just click "Fill Forms" button, and the form is filled out. Being fully client-based AI RoboForm can be very fast; it never disables web site functions and AI RoboForm can also work in pop-up HTML windows. The most important feature of AI RoboForm is high accuracy; it fills 95% of all fields correctly.
You can also visit the homepage and download the extension from here.
1-Click Answers
1-Click AnswersTM, (for Windows or Mac OS X) allows a user to click on any word on the screen, in any program, for instant explanations.
Answers.com is an ideal tool for the millions of people who must find and deal with all kinds of information as part of their daily routine, including writers, editors, students, educators, marketers, journalists, lawyers, and professionals. In addition to these markets, it is developing content for specific additional vertical markets that need a compelling source of relevant content.
Answers.com is continually adding and optimizing content to provide the "perfect page" to their loyal user-base and to users finding their content through the search engines. Also the Answers Corporation partners with, among others, Firefox, Opera, The New York Public Library, Shopping.com, and A9.com. So this ain't a small company we're on.
This is also one extension I will recommend because you never know when you need to find the meaning of a certain word.
You can get more info on Answers from the website and download the extension from here.
CoolIris Previews
Cooliris Previews is software that lets you view links without having to click or leave the page you are on. Previews makes it easy to navigate through multiple links quickly and easily.
Fly through web links, images, and videos without clicking. Simply mouse over the Cooliris link icon and a preview window will instantly appear to show you the underlying content. This is best for fast surfers who don't want to waste time by going through all links.
You can check the homepage for more info.

There are a hell lot of extensions available for Firefox. You guys have listed some good ones but some really good and important extensions are missing. Example: Adblock Plus, FireFTP, Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer, Foxytunes, IE Tab & Link Alert. I know all extensions can not be covered but these are really important ones.

Hello techtree staff. I am a regular visitor of your site. I have noticed that recently all of your desktop screenshots have a nice cool black theme. Would you please tell me the name of this theme and from where to get it? ThankYou. I would also be grateful to any other reader if he/she could provide me with the name of a nice black color theme for Win XP.
