Hi everyone. Earlier, I already posted a list of useful ones. Now it's time to publish a similar collection of add-ons for Mozilla Firefox, which you can immediately download to your computer. The main part of this article will be in the form of a guest post, which was kindly sent to me by Bogdan Sayenko, author of the code-shark.net blog. Well, the second part, according to tradition, I will add my list of seo plugins.
Firefox plugins
Using browser extensions is like driving a car with a new spoiler, tinted glass, chrome rims, and pretty vinyl decals. The main thing here is not to overdo it in order to feel comfortable and not look stupid. So with plugins for Firefox, there are thousands of them, eyes run wide.
I want to bring to your attention a dozen useful plugins to save time, increase productivity and your safety.
Better browsing with plugins for Mozilla Firefox
Do you often find yourself finding an interesting page on the Internet and want to save its content to study later? The popular web app has a Firefox plugin. With it, you can create notes for yourself from any part of any web page. Notes can contain text, photos, and even videos. They can be synchronized with your phone for access outside of your personal computer.
The Greasemonkey Firefox extension allows you to create scripts to do almost anything. This can be setting up search queries in the browser or moving notifications from Gmail to tabs. After downloading and installing the extension, you can find a large number of custom scripts on sites such as userscripts.org. With the help of these scripts, you can automate many things and customize them for yourself.
If you are constantly switching between your iPhone, laptop, Android tablet, then the Xmarks plugin has created just for you. With it, you can synchronize bookmarks, and even passwords between all your devices: computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, etc.
Are there any sites that you visit every day? If you have a set of favorite bookmarks, you can open them instantly with Speed \u200b\u200bDial. This extension will show you thumbnail images of each of your favorite sites when you start your browser. Thumbnails automatically update to current versions in the background.
Mozilla Firefox add-ons for working with videos, images, etc.
Streaming video cannot work without an active internet connection. And on sites like YouTube, there is no way to download the video. Easy YouTube Downloader comes to the rescue. This plugin allows you to save videos from YouTube and other sites to your computer so that you can later view them offline.
If you often need to take screenshots of websites, then Awecome Screenshot will make your life easier. After installing the plugin, just click on the camera icon. You will receive a screenshot of the entire web page, even if you do not see it in full. With it, you can annotate images with text, lines, etc., as well as erase anything unnecessary.
If you will be without the Internet for some time, for example, go to the country or get on a plane, then the plugin for Firefox Read It Later will allow you to save voluminous web pages with one click. At a time when you will not have access to the Internet, using this plugin you can still enjoy your favorite sites.
Security and privacy
There is a great variety of hidden tracking systems on the Internet, such as: tags, hidden pixels, beacons, etc. The Ghostery plugin makes parts of a web page invisible to the eye visible. For example, when I went to NYTimes.com, 7 tracking systems were monitoring my session at once. This plugin will help you avoid tracking systems by blocking their scripts.
Java and Flash are web technologies that create dynamic web pages with live animation. The downside of these technologies is that advertisers and all sorts of ill-wishers also use them to run trackers and malicious scripts in the browser. The NoScript plugin disables Java and Flash on all pages except trusted websites, thereby protecting your computer.
AdBlock Plus is one of the most popular Firefox plugins. And it's not hard to see why: it blocks pop-up, crawling, flashing ads, which are very annoying. This plugin is very easy to set up and use.
The LastPass plugin is very helpful when it comes to encrypting your data and keeping your personal passwords secure but easily accessible. Given the variety and number of sites that require a username and password for authorization, this plugin is simply irreplaceable.
Other Firefox plugins
Need full access to your FTP server, but don't want to leave your browser? This is possible with the FireFTP plugin. It works in a tab firefox browser and provides you full access to the server just like a separate program. It works with Firefox on Mac, Windows, and even Linux.
Why copy and then paste the text you want to send to Twitter? With the help of the Tweetlight plugin, you just need to select the desired section of text, press the key combination Ctrl + Shift + E (or use the context menu) and it will instantly go to your microblog to your followers.
Many thanks to Bogdan for sending me a guest post with useful plugins for mozilla. Well, now, as I promised, let's move on to my list of plugins, most of which, you guessed it, will be SEO topics.
The first one on this list, of course, is - a plugin that no SEO optimizer can do without. This plugin has everything - from showing puzomerok and the number of indexed pages in search engines, to statistics of external links and availability in directories, etc. As the saying goes, the plug-in is a "must have".
- another seo plugin for viewing puzomerki sites.
In terms of functionality, it is very much inferior to rds bar'y, but if you do not need detailed reports on sites, you can download this Firefox add-on for yourself.

Among other things, the add-on has the ability to update all open tabs at random periods of time, which are selected at random.
A useful addition to the browser for those who have regular problems with the Internet connection.
Scrapbook allows you to save web pages so that even while offline, you can view them. In other words, it creates entire databases from such pages and at the same time has a number of possibilities:
- saves not only the text of the site, but also pictures, style of its design and multimedia inserts, while observing its structure;
- saves several tabs at once;
- has the ability to save those pages to which the links are located on the selected page;
- provides the ability to create several databases at once.
By improving latest version, the developers have endowed it with finding the necessary information in the database by title and even by time.
In addition, for greater convenience, the user can leave comments to the saved pages.
There is also a block for notes and the ability to edit web pages: delete, add, change content on the pages.
The topic of privacy of personal data on the network is gaining momentum from year to year, respectively, with this, applications and plugins are regularly created, one of the brightest representatives of which is Ghostery.
As an add-on to the browser, it is focused on finding beacons and various network bugs that their owners or advertisers specifically place on websites in order to track traffic.
It recognizes the traces of more than five hundred companies and even such giants as Google and Facebook, providing along the way all possible information about how they collect data. However, its main advantage lies in blocking embedded documents, various images and scripts that pose a threat.
Please note: Ghostery never asks to register or provide any personal information. The use of the add-on is entirely anonymous.
For the development and improvement of the plugin, the GhostRank function was also added to it, which allows those who are not indifferent to add the bugs they have found to the existing database.
FriGate
Due to constantly emerging restrictions and blocking of individual sites and even social networks Attempts to bypass the barriers set by providers have become relevant. One of the best options for those who use the Mozilla Firefox browser is FriGate, which solves all problems based on a connection to a proxy server. He successfully manages to unblock web pages, spending a minimum of resources on it.
It is worth noting that FriGate is able to recognize which site is blocked and which is not, so when you enter regular, accessible web pages, it is disabled. The only drawback is a little slower work with locked resources and, unfortunately, this cannot be fixed.
To make their product more open, the developers have made available to users the choice of algorithms by which access to sites is performed. Depending on them, the speed of work can vary up or down.
