What is so great about Firefox?
Firefox ? is the browser of choice for many keen Internet users. It comes from the Mozilla organisation, who have been involved in browser creation for longer than most. Firefox has a number of advantages:
People use Firefox for many purposes, work or leisure-related. We have therefore grouped the add-ons according to their broad intended purpose. Note that there will also normally be a major beta version of Ffx in parallel existence at any time, so we need to state whether an add-on works with that as well. For example at the time of inception of this article, Firefox 2 is the stable release (the version in general use), and Firefox 3 as the new version is also quite widely used. Ffx add-ons are of two broad classes, Extensions and Themes, and there are also plugins. We've kept them all together and are still working on this page. |
| [Must Have] | Firefox is one of the best browsers available. As a matter of fact it comes with overwhelming features out of the box, and yet, you can make it even better or better adjusted to your needs by adding extensions to it. The extensions in this section we recommend so strongly, that we think, you must have them! |

NoScript |
There's a browser safer than Firefox... The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox: this add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti-XSS protection available in a browser. NoScript's unique whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality... author: Giorgio Maone |

It mainly has two purposes: 1. Speed up browsing by de-proxyfying images and directly jumping to link-target It doesn't really increase your privacy. It can, but there are like a dozen ways to circumvent Redirect Remover, so don't expect it to do wonders. If you would like to test your Redirect Remover installation, have a look at the test page with all kinds of links containing redirects, special characters and so on: http://redirectremover.mozdev.org/rdrtestpage.html author: xeen |
