If you missed the previous post on How to download Mozilla Firefox, check it HERE!!!
Once
your installation is complete open your new Mozilla Firefox Browser, you will
see a start up page. You can take a tour or follow these instructions on
customizing your new browser.
ADD-ONS
The
great thing about this browser is you can install additional programs to suit
your needs on your task bar. Lets get started!
OR
Once you click on your Add-on icon it will take you to the following page:
On the top right corner there is a search bar, type in what you are looking.
(example I typed in "Download music") once done press the search icon or press Enter.
Note: Sometimes when the download is complete a little
restart link will appear, this will restart Firefox (don’t worry all your tabs
will be resumed).
A few of my favorites include:
- Flash Video Downloader – This helps you to download any video (flv, mp4, HD) from YouTube-like, Facebook, Break, Metacafe and more in one click. You can download mp3, music (iPod), avi and more with various file sizes and qualities.
I have
encountered one site (that shall not be named) that sometimes does not allow
this extension to download movies from (probably because it isn’t a flash
video), so I have backup extensions which work.
Flash and Video Download
UnPlug
2. Ghostery – This allows you to block scripts from
companies that you don't trust, delete local shared objects, and even block
images and iframes.
It basically blocks any system from tracking you or your
actions on the site. It also blocks certain adverts from running on the web
site.
There are many other Ad Blockers
you can choose from, another on I use is Adblock Edge is an extension for
blocking advertisements on the web.
3. YouTube
MP3 Easy Downloader - Downloads MP3 from YouTube easily and hassle free. You
will get a button on your action bar that redirects you to www.youtube-mp3.org
for easy download of the video as high quality mp3.
