By using extensions,firefox can be made a complete web browser.I have Handpicked 13 extensions for mozilla firefox to provide the ultimate browsing experience

You can download thse add-ons at addons.mozilla.org

COMFORT

1.DownThemAll! ------ Firefox's Default download manager is not that efficient.With DownThemAll!,not only can you recover downloads that get stoppped abruptly,but the downloading process is accelerated and goes on comfortably.

2.IE Tab ------ Not all websites are displayed properly in firefox,mainly because they have been written for Internet Explorer.But Now,instead of opening IE in a separate window,you can harness the functionality of IE in firefox itself ,by using this add-on.Simply right-click a link and select the option 'Open Link In IE tab'.

SECURITY

3.No-Script ------Java Script poses an enormous security loophole.The problem is when you deactivate these functions,most websites will not be displayed correctly any more,especially in the age of interactive Web 2.0.With 'No-script' you can determine the websites on which scripts may run - namely which websites should always display scripts and which are supposed to be blocked.
