10 Favorite Firefox Addons

One advantage you use Firefox is plenty of addons!! You can choose your addons with your necessary. Here 10 favorite addons from me:

1. StumbleUpon Toolbar

(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/138)

StumbleUpon is a social networking site.. a great social networking site which helps you discover new links from various topics from food to technology to politics. And SU is the one of the first social networking sites to which I was hooked to. What SU does, is to provide platforms to share web links on various topics, review websites, meet people who share similar interests and exchange web links with them.

Firefox supports the SU toolbar which is one of the first reason why using SU is so fun and easy. The SU toolbar provides option to stumble upon wide range of topics. If you want to stumble the sites of a fellow stumbler (well thats what users of SU are called) then type in the name and you are ready to go. If you like a website then click on “I Like it” so that some one else who wants to see your favorite sites can stumble upon this link. For a newly discovered site, the toolbar displays a window which allows you to write a review and select a label. Really easy!!!! Also with notifications of messages and with keyboard shortcuts, stumbling is really easy!!!

2. Meebo Addon

(Download from : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5700)

Meebo is a site which provides simultaneous login into your GTalk, Yahoo, AIM, MSN and many other IM accounts.. Apart from that meebo provides great applications like online games, file sharing, video chat among others.. With no downloads required whatsoever Meebo is truly an innovative step towards instant messaging.

But what makes Meebo more like-able for me is the Meebo addon with the Firefox. Meebo Addon provides features like automatic login when you open the browser window, message alert, user login alert. These notifications are not present otherwise and this addon really helps you by giving alerts when you are also doing some other work.
