Firefox Extension Dream Package #5: Last Batch Of 2007

[Saint_Michael 3]

Well I thought I kick in one more package of add-ons for the firefox browser for 2007; although some of these should have been in my last topic since most of them are google related, or rather google search engine related. Before we go into this last batch of add-ons here are the links to my previous topics on the different dream packages worth of google add-ons for you firefox users to use.

 

Dream Package #1

Dream Package #2

Dream Package #3

Dream Package #4

 

ImageCounter

 

WOW!! I wonder what this does, if you remember the link counter in Dream Package #3. its the same concept but this time you count images and stuff. So if you like stats and looking to see how many images websites use when designing those ultra-mega websites with the cool graphics, then this is an extension for you.

Update Notifier

Well to take a break from google a bit, this simple plug in just lets you know that your add-on's have an update and you can do a insta download and then restart your firefox without hte need to close and open it again.

Cache Status

 

Well ok this may not be the most useful plug-in but who knows you can get a more understanding on how your firefox works for you. Basically you can change the cache sizes on the fly with this add on without the need to do the about:config method, and so now you can actually get your firefox to take up half your hard drive if you wanted to .

This utility extension monitors your cache statistics for both memory and disk devices, pulling the numbers straight from the same place that 'about:cache' does.

 

RSS Ticker

 

Now this is a useful extension to have, especially for our trappers here, this extension basically load a new ticker at the bottom of the firefox browser of the lates "live bookmarks" you have on RSS feed's you have save, very customizable, and easy to figure to set up as well. So if there is a post you like you just click on one of the topics and you are there, but a warning it will be in lo-fi so you will have to scroll down to the bottom and then click to see the full version. Yeah it sounds like it is a bit more work then it needs to be, but it still is useful if don't have time to post and see a for topics you might want to post in quickly.

 

Firefox Version

 

2.x-3b4

Although I did have one more that displayed RSS but couldn't get it work, and although this dream package is short and sweet but it seems I have found the best of the best in firefox extension for firefox 2, and so hopefully when Firefox 3 comes out we will see a new crop of extensions and maybe improvements to the old ones in 2008.

 

 

UPDATE: I move the stuff from Dream Package 4 to here just to match everything up with the google extensions that I posted about. Added in a RSS News ticker should be very useful for the trappers.
