Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Here you will find different musings and descriptions of the various happenings in my life. Anything from political and religious opinions to fantastical writings that have absolutely nothing to do with anything important.

So, if this is your cup of tea or if you are just looking for the entertainment of reading other people's thoughts, I welcome you and invite you to subscribe to my blog (look for the link in the sidebar).

Everything you needed to know about shadowchaser

I'm a 49 year old Union Ironworker who has numerous interests. Currently I am close to receiving my AAS in Network Administration in Security and am seeking a career change over to the IT field. I love to cook, love my wife and family, and love to live life as fully as I am able to and I try to reflect that in my writings here. Hopefully you will be able to take something from what I place here and put it to good use. Please feel free to comment on anything you wish to here, tell your friends about this website and come back for me. May the Lord God bless and keep you.

I’ve noticed quite a few different blogs have posted their plugins that they are using with firefox. I’ve been using firefox for quite a number of years now and throughout that time I’ve tried numerous plugins. Included in this posting are the current plugins that I am using and maybe even a little bit about why I am using them. Now just because I am using these does not mean that you should use the same plugins, my suggestion is to install them and give them a try for a few days, after all you can always uninstall them if you decide that they are not what you need. So, without boring you even further, here’s my list of useful plugins.

  1. All-in-One-Sidebar this one is new for me but looks quite promising. Among it’s features are listings of bookmarks, plugins, downloads, history and more all in a neat and organized sidebar.
  2. Interclue A link augmentation tool and more! Better than other link preview tools I’ve tried out, Interclue brings to you:
    • a text summary
    • snapshot
    • many other options for configuring speed, productivity and privacy!
  3. EmailTheWeb
     Absolutely my favorite plugin for Firefox! Allows you to email the entire web page AS YOU ARE CURRENTLY VIEWING IT to anyone you wish to. So, if you are viewing a particular website where the content changes quickly and you wish to let your friends or family see it before it changes you can do so with just a few clicks of the mouse. Definitely worth the install!
  4. Fission Combines your address bar with a graphical progress bar that visually shows you the loading status of the page.
  5. Morning Coffee
     A refreshing manner to get your favorite sites on a daily, weekly, or other interval that you configure basis. If you have a site that only updates on M W and F then you can configure to only open those sites on those days and the best thing is….. IT ALL HAPPENS WITH THE PUSH OF ONLY ONE BUTTON! Easily configured and you can backup your configuration and even transfer them to different machines.
  6. NoScript
    Straight from the website: “this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java and 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.”
  7. StumbleUpon
    My second most favorite plugin for Firefox! I get many ideas from the time that I spend stumbling around the web. This is a must have if for no other reason at least for the entertainment value that it contains. Many different categories to choose from in the configuration mode.
  8. TwitterFox
    When you spend as much time on your browser as I do and you are a Twitter fan then you really need a plugin like this one. Check it out today!
  9. Xmarks
    Formerly known as Foxmarks, Xmarks is a bookmark syncronizer and search applet. Xmarks integrates with Google to bring you the top 3 results compiled from the millions of other Xmark users. You can also click on the Info icon in your address bar to receive detailed rating and information about the current site. Many other features as well, check it out!
  10. Zotero
    If you are a student or a researcher then this plugin is invaluable! It allows you to collect and categorize your sites and even eases the citation of your research. A MUST have for any student.

Well, that’s it for my list of installed Firefox plugins. Hopefully you can find at least one of these that is helpful to you. You are more than welcome to add any plugins you wish in your comments to this post. Please feel free to refer others to this post as well. Thanks for taking the time to check this out! Maybe next I’ll do one on handy freeware applications.
