Flashblock

Flashblock. Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla and Firefox browsers that takes a
pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and
blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves a placeholder on the page that
allows you to click to view the Flash content.
· Netcraft Toolbar. The Toolbar community is effectively a giant neighbourhood watch
scheme, empowering the most alert and most expert members to defend everyone within
the community against phishing frauds. Once the first recipients of a phishing mail have
reported the target URL, it is blocked for community members as they subsequently
access the URL. Widely disseminated attacks (people constructing phishing attacks send
literally millions of electronic mails in the expectation that some will reach customers of
the bank) simply mean that the phishing attack will be reported and blocked sooner.
· Adblock. Adblock is a content filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers. It is
both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker. Adblock allows the
user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address.
· SessionSaver. SessionSaver restores your browser -exactly- as you left it, every startup,
every time. Not even a crash will phase it. Windows, tabs, cookies + scrolling -- they're all
saved.
· Mouse Gestures. Mouse Gestures are a fast way to execute commands without using the
keyboard, menus or toolbars. Instead, the user holds down a mouse button (usually the
right one), moves the mouse in a certain way to form a gesture, and then releases the
mouse button. In web browsers like Mozilla Firefox or the Mozilla Suite, gestures are
used to go back or forward a page, switch between tabs, open multiple links at once,
control text or image size, and numerous other functions.
· ForecastFox. Forecastfox is an extension that brings international weather from
AccuWeather to your Firefox web browser. You can use your US zip code or you can
easily find your town or city by using the built in search tool. It is unobtrusive and
lightweight, yet can be customized to display nearly as much data as the leading desktop
weather programs.
· Web Developer. The Web Developer extension for Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla adds a menu
and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools.
· FoxyTunes. FoxyTunes allows you to control your favorite media player without leaving the
browser. The controls are positioned on the status bar or one of the toolbars, so no extra
space is wasted. FoxyTunes has several nice features. You can control the playback,
adjust the volume, see what's playing, and more.
· About This Site. About this site is a Firefox extension by Gina Trapani which gives you 1-
click access to various services that provide information about the web page you are
viewing.
· Tab Mix. Tab Mix is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox browser which enhances its tab
browsing capabilities. Tab Mix's main objectives are to be small, fast, easy to use, logical,
and without bugs while containing the most natural features related to tab browsing.
· Greasemonkey. Greasemonkey lets you add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web
page to change its behavior. In much the same way that user CSS lets you take control
of a web page's style, user scripts let you easily control any aspect of a web page's
