The best mozilla firefox addons. How to enable plugins in mozilla firefox browser. The best Mazila extensions for everyone

Igor... Update: June 14, 2019.

Hello dear readers of the blog site! As I already noted, the developers of Mazil Firefox initially decided to implement such an assembly of a web browser, in which its basic functionality would contain a minimum set of options, and all the rest are added as plugins depending on the needs of a particular user.

Thanks to this feature, Mozilla gained many supporters, and a positive overall assessment helped this browser to occupy one of the leading positions in the world market for quite some time. True, then the time of the almighty came Google chrome, whose reign continues to this day. However, Firefox, with the release newest version running on the Quantum engine has a chance to impose a struggle for leadership again, because the glory of the extensible browser itself remains with it.

Thus, Mazila of all competitors in the course of its development has acquired the most extensive set of plugins (add-ons or extensions). This circumstance alone is capable of luring some of the users over to his side. True, in recent years, Chromium has been trying to seize the palm in this aspect (), but Mozilla does not give up, and such competition ultimately benefits consumers.

How to download and install the Firefox extension

Before using any add-on for Firefox it is naturally necessary. After this task is completed, you can select and add the extension you need on the official page of the store, where all add-ons are systematized by category in order to facilitate the search:

To install the extension in the Mozilla browser, click on the selected picture and go to the next web page, where you will find concise information on this add-on: author's name or pseudonym, current version, date last update, short description, user reviews, screenshots demonstrating the essence of his work, etc. In case of a positive decision, after examining all the data, press the button Add to Firefox:

Before starting the installation, the system will ask for confirmation of the operation with your permission to access the necessary data and tabs:

By clicking on the "Add" button, you finally activate the download of the extension to the browser. The operation is simple and does not require any additional effort. After a few seconds, you will receive a confirmation that the plugin is successfully installed in your Firefox:

This is a standard installation procedure, which, in general, usually ends there. But when adding some plugins, a new tab with a developer page may open at the same time, where there are details on the downloaded extension, including its current and previous versions, data on the frequency of its updates, instructions for setting up, etc.

In the future, to perform various actions on any plug-in, you need to select the appropriate item from the drop-down menu hiding behind a cryptogram with three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner of the Mazila window:

As a result of these gestures, you move to the appropriate tab, where it is possible to perform various operations you need with the installed add-ons, including setting, disabling or even completely deleting:

From this tab you can go directly to the installation of other extensions by clicking on the link "Download add-ons" where some plugins will be recommended for you. If you haven't found the ones you need, then you can click on the "Find more add-ons" button, which will take you to the store page (which I mentioned at the beginning of this section), where there is a huge selection for almost all occasions.

I draw your attention to the fact that below we will consider the extensions that can add absolutely free(there are also paid samples for performing special tasks) or with basic free functionality.

Popular Mozilla Firefox add-ons for everyone

First, I will present a selection of plugins that solve a variety of tasks and may be of interest to absolutely all Internet users who prefer the Firefox browser.

1. "State services"- the plug-in is designed for setting an electronic signature on the State Services portal, where citizens of Russia can use it to draw up absolutely any document online, without spending their precious time visiting official institutions.

This add-on is not yet listed. official store Mozilla, so its installation is somewhat different from the standard one, which can be done with official page of State services... After completing the process, just go to the "Extensions" tab and enable the plugin using the button of the same name. The work of the add-on will be marked by the appearance in the upper pane of the browser window of the symbol in the form of the national flag of Russia.

2. Browsec VPN Is a popular extension that implements a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel on the Internet, which makes it possible to guarantee user privacy and replace the real one using proxy servers.

Since the real IP remains behind the scenes, this technology allows you to unblock the content of sites on the territory of another country. Let's say you are outside of Russia and want to watch a video on a certain Russian resource that is prohibited from being shown in the region of your current location.

When you activate Browsec VPN and configure the virtual location "Russia" you immediately get access to browsing, which would have been impossible without this add-on. Let's see how privacy and blocking bypasses are implemented in practice.

So you install the plugin in the usual way, as a result of which a symbolic image of the globe will appear in the upper pane of the browser window on the right side of it. After clicking on it, a splash screen will appear, where the extension can be activated using the "Protect me" button or using the slider at the bottom right:

To select the country where the target web resource with blocked content is located, click on the "Change" button. The extension will give you a list of countries to which you can move, of course, in a virtual sense:

To use a proxy against countries that are marked "Premium", you will have to fork out $ 4.99 per month. Unfortunately for the large number of Russian-speaking users living abroad, Russia is among the paid options (screenshot above).

However, there are analogues of this add-on on the network with a free option to bypass the blocking of Russian sites (this one, for example). I used Browsec VPN as an example because it is one of the highest quality overall privacy tools out there.

3. Google Translate, ImTranslator, Dictionary- a multifunctional add-on that makes it possible to choose a translator (Google, Microsoft Bing, Translator, Yandex). Includes 91 languages ​​and is able to quickly translate using a dictionary, speak text, save history, reverse translate and much more.

In order to translate a fragment of text selected on a web page, you need to select it, click right click mouse in and out context menu select the appropriate item that appears there when the extension is active:

4. Video DownloadHelper- very functional plugin Firefox to download video... After installing and activating the extension, when you visit one of the web resources with which it works (and there are a huge number of such sites on the Internet), as a result of clicking on its icon, information about the videos on the page will appear, moreover, you will immediately be given the opportunity to download video files to different formats:

If you move the cursor to the bottom panel of the window instead of the arrow pointing to the right, a set of tools will appear (in the screenshot above, it is highlighted in yellow), with which you can perform all available actions (getting information about the program, going to a web page with a list of supported sites , analysis of the video resource web page, conversion of local files). From here, you can go to the settings that are striking in their breadth.

5. Adblock plus- a very convenient extension in our time, when the space of the global network is filled to capacity with advertisements, often incredibly aggressive. It will help to block the advertising content of absolutely any web pages and thus adjust the Internet for yourself. In this case, in addition to a much more convenient viewing of content, you also get fast pages, the loading of which is accelerated without unnecessary advertising.

However, in life, semitones always rule, and radical measures directed towards one extreme or another usually do not lead to a completely acceptable result. Where am I heading, you ask? And to the fact that in Adblock Plus the developers have provided the ability to implement my favorite rule of the "golden mean", which is taken into account in the settings that allow you to block
annoying ads, but display unobtrusive and often helpful ad units.

6. Adguard Anti-Banner Is another type of ad blocker that can be used to block all types of ads, including video ads (including on YouTube), banners, text ads, pop-ups and other elements that irritate the eye.

In addition, this Firefox extension has the ability to prevent the download and installation of spyware, and advertising applications(adware), protect your personal data, block monitoring systems for user behavior on the network, protect you from negative and virus-containing resources.

To the user-specific settings containing numerous useful options, you can go from the already familiar "Extensions" tab. By the way, there are a wide variety of filters with which you can optimize the work of Adguard Anti-Banner to your taste (among others, there is a filter for useful ads, it is already enabled by default).

7. WOT- add-on for Mazila, providing protective functions in terms of identifying various suspicious or even dangerous web resources when surfing the network, including those infected with viruses. The more users install this extension Mozilla Firefox into the browser, the larger the database will be at our disposal, since each, in addition to receiving information about the visited in this moment website, can give him his assessment:

The level of user confidence in a particular web project is expressed in a certain color (red is the highest degree of unreliability, yellow is a call for caution, green is a white and fluffy resource). Moreover, you can filter out untrustworthy sites right on the search results page, where they will be marked with the appropriate icons:

8. Firefox Color- an addition that makes it possible to make appearance your browser more attractive and convenient to work with by choosing among a variety of new, popular and selected design solutions for Mozilla Firefox (about themes for all the most popular browsers).

9. Text Link- sometimes on web pages there are inactive links provided in text format... So, this addon speeds up the opening of pages at such URLs, saving you from additional unnecessary gestures (copying - pasting into the address bar of a new tab or window). After downloading and installing Text Link, you can open the pages to which the text links lead by a simple double click on them:

10. Tab Mix - Rename Tab- allows you to quickly change the title of the active tab, which also significantly saves time when such an operation is required to be performed many times:

11. Gmail ™ Notifier- a plugin that allows you to interact with several Gmail boxes at once without leaving the current browser tab. After installation, which takes place in the standard way, the branded icon of the Google mail service will appear in the upper right corner of the window, by clicking on which you can call up the contents of your account in a miniature:

In the settings, where you can get from the same window, you can specify your main account jail and 5+ additional, specify the interval for checking letters, activate sound notification when fresh mail arrives and much more.

A distinctive feature of this extension from many others of a similar class is that you do not need to enter authorization data separately, you just need to log into each of those Google accounts from which you want to track notifications.

12. Image Search Pro- this addon provides the ability to perform reverse image search in multiple search engines... After installing it and turning it on, move the cursor to the selected picture, call the context menu by clicking on the right mouse button and select the appropriate item:

By going to the page the desired search engine from the list you can find out the source of this image, as well as find all its versions with different resolutions.

Best Firefox plugins for webmasters and SEOs

1. - the most successful plugin, in my humble opinion, of all the extensions of this class. It may well serve as a tutorial for beginners in the practical study of HTML and CSS, and is also an excellent assistant when editing page elements:

True, life is moving forward, and this add-on is no longer supported due to the fact that such a tool appeared in the basic functionality of Firefox, which is activated using the F12 key or by using the Ctrl + Shift + I keyboard shortcut.

The same can be done if you right-click on any page open in the browser and select the item "Explore Element" from the pop-up menu that appears, as well as if you open the Mazil menu hidden behind the icon with three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner, and follow paths "Web Development" - "Developer Tools".

Despite the fact that the Firebug plugin itself is no longer relevant, I advise you to follow the link to the material about it, because all the basic information presented there will certainly help you in the practical application of any such tool.

2. - a great addition, especially for those who are trying to improve their practical skills in editing and layout of sites.

Developer. Having entered this page, you, of course, can pay attention to the section " most popular »add-ons for Mozilla, but we dare to warn you - firstly, the description of all add-ons is in English (therefore, the information may not be entirely clear), and secondly, not everything that is popular is really needed. So, let's get to the point.

1. Speed ​​Dial

Speed ​​Dial will greatly simplify the work with the browser at the start. This component is immediately recognized by those who changed the Opera with the "Fire Fox". The main task of Speed ​​Dial is to remember the sites specified by the user and display them in the form of thumbnails on start page- the so-called "quick access tabs". Thus, you can open your favorite and most visited sites at any time with just one click. You can customize these tabs using the Speed ​​Dial button that appears on the toolbar at the top of the window. A new site can be added using the command: "Set in Speed ​​Dial".

2. Adblock Plus

The purpose of the add-on is to block annoying ads in the form of pop-up windows like "You are the 999th visitor, click and get a prize" and messages like "Violetta wants to add you as a friend." All these "punchy appendixes" on websites using Java and Flash technologies, Adblock Plus easily recognizes and limits. Thanks to easy management and super efficiency, this plugin has become one of the most popular plugins and is included in the list of "Best Add-ons for Mozilla Firefox".

3. ProxMate

ProxMate is a very useful extension for Firefox users who are interested in foreign TV series, clips, TV shows, sports broadcasts. Despite the fact that recently the Internet without borders has been promoted, you have often seen a situation when, for example, a YouTube video “Not available in your region”. In order to avoid such unpleasant situations, we recommend downloading and installing this add-on. It works like a proxy and can replace your IP address and hide your true location. At the same time, the work of the plug-in will not affect the speed of the Internet connection.

4. Interclue

Without this add-on, active internet surfers will have a hard time. If you do not want to constantly feel like a bait for distributors of advertisements, malware and broken links, then by all means install Interclue. The development will inform you about unreliable sites even before you visit them. When you hover over the link, you will see an information window with information about potential phishing, spyware, erroneous links, etc.

5. Update Scanner

If you constantly visit the same web resources and follow all the updates, by all means get such a thing as Update Scanner. This plugin will monitor completely free of charge any changes occurring on the pages specified by the user. Information will be displayed in a pop-up window in the lower right corner. In this case, the changes will be highlighted in yellow, so you don't have to look for what's new on the site.

6. URL Fixer plus RU and UA

There is no point in talking a lot about this plugin. All it does is fix common typing errors in address bar... But this is enough to download it. After all, it often happens that you press the next key or type in the wrong language. URL Fixer not only fixes the address where you touched the adjacent letter, but also translates URLs that were accidentally typed in Russian or Ukrainian layout... For example, hammering into the line: "пщщпдюсшюгф", you will get what you really wanted: google.com.ua.

7. LastPass Password Manager

Afraid to forget your email password or social network? Get rid of this phobia in no time with the LastPass Password Manager add-on! The plugin remembers all authorization codes and helps you manage all the passwords that you use while browsing the Internet. LastPass Password Manager will automatically complete all forms, and it also supports importing saved data from other password managers such as PasswordSafe, Roboform, Keepass.

8. Video DownloadHelper

This extension will not only simplify the process of downloading files, but will also be able to rip videos from the popular YouTube and Rutube hosts. Yes, yes, you can save YouTube clips and movies with just a couple of clicks. Another one hidden opportunity Video DownloadHelper - convert video. But to activate it, the developers offer to fork out a little.

9. IE Tab

Despite the rapid development of web technologies and the adaptation of Internet resources for the maximum number of users, there are still sites or their individual components that can only be displayed Internet browser Explorer. So, in order not to launch two web browsers at the same time, you can solve the problem by installing the IE Tab plugin. After that, with the opening of pages "sharpened" for Internet Explorer, there will be no difficulties.

Good day, dear readers, visitors and other personalities! Today we'll talk about Firefox extensions, or some of them.

On the Internet, there are quite a large number of browsers that allow you to view the pages of the world wide web. Once my choice fell on the browser and since then I, not without reason, consider it the best browser of all the existing ones.

The main argument in favor of this is the browser's own kernel, to which many plugins and extensions can be installed.

Of course, for some time now, extensions have appeared in Opera, and then in the once-new Google Chrome, but for me, FF still remains (and for a long time) will remain the leader in this area. However, the taste and color are all different, and therefore we will not argue which browser is better.

Let's get started.

Introductory

Download the browser itself, if suddenly you do not have it, you can.
You can download extensions for FF from the same site, namely

I will not talk about installing the browser and plug-ins for it - there is nothing complicated there.

However, literally for all the extensions that I am talking about, I have already written instructions for use on my website, and therefore you will see a link to an article with it right after a short description.

As they say, everything is for you;)

Firefox extensions - ad protection

Every Internet user should have this thing.
Necessarily.

Firefox extensions - protection against viruses and problems

Firefox extensions - Download Statusbar

In the same place, by the way, another of my favorite extensions is described, which was not included in this article for some reason.

Firefox extensions - weather

Firefox extensions - skip idle screens

Firefox extensions - automation and macros

Foreword before afterword

There is not everything here, especially since I am constantly trying something new, writing articles, changing my taste and so on. Therefore, look for all the other usefulness either in the heading about ", or under the label" Firefox extensions ", or simply through the search on the site (located in the upper right corner).

You can also find a lot about various settings, such as your favorite article "" or "", or beautiful themes, icons and other joys of life.

In general, I do not pretend to be true. Someone will really like everything that I recommend, but for some reason all these bells and whistles will not be needed at all (although I can hardly imagine a person who does not need ad blocking on websites), and someone does use other browsers (although there are similar extensions there too).

Afterword

In a nutshell, something like this. It goes without saying that this is not all, but I hope that it has already turned out to be useful and definitely come in handy.

Enjoy your use and thank you so much for reading.

As always, if you have any questions, additions and all that different - write in the comments. Here you are always welcome.

When faced with a problem, you start looking for a solution, reading a lot of instructions and not even suspecting about the extensions that are created in order to solve these problems in seconds.

Content:

Allows you to see web pages according to your desires, without pop-up banners and flashing messages.

It has four dozen different filters available that automatically recognize unnecessary cluttering information and block it.

Please note: if the site you wish to visit is a threat, the plugin will immediately block the domain to avoid further problems.

The add-on also has the ability to create your own filters using the built-in tools.

This allows the user to block pictures, videos, scripts and even styles that interfere, distract, or simply do not like.

One has only to save the created filter and it will be applied every time you log on to the Internet.

Improving their product, the developers have endowed the extension, starting with version 2.0, the ability to skip some ads in support of those sites that do not abuse it and do not make it intrusive.

It will be understandable and useful for both experienced users and beginners.

All that is required is to add it to your browser, after which you can work as usual.

The only difference will be that when you go to a new web page on the network, which contains in itself will be highlighted.

In this case, you just need to expand it and download the video you like in just a couple of clicks.

The add-on allows you to download from a lot of popular sites:

In addition, for greater comfort, it also provides different formats of the same video, allows you to download several files at once and convert them in the process.

The add-on was created as easy to use as possible, but at the same time it contains a lot of functions and capabilities.

https://youtu.be/xhqUx-b5-bE

The tool, developed back in 2006, but due to constant modifications and its purpose, is still one of the most relevant when working on the Internet, it is one of the best extensions created for data protection.

It blocks any Java applets and other elements of web pages that carry in itself.

Please note: you always have the opportunity to create a whitelist and thereby exclude the sites selected by him from the number of blocked ones.

Added to yours, it will successfully defend against the most common attacks, such as:

• CSRF attacks;
• XSS attacks;
• cross-zone DNS spoofing attacks.

NoScript will avoid vulnerabilities and close everything possible options interception of user data, while not weakening or slowing down the functionality of the computer.

It also features progressive DoNotTrack technology aimed at eliminating even unknown vulnerabilities.

A multifunctional translator that will always allow you to understand the content of even foreign sites that are completely designed in another language.

Based on three translators at once - Google, Microsoft Bing and Translator, it has 90 languages ​​at its disposal and is capable of working with text, the size of which reaches 10 thousand characters.

By the way, we have a material on our website that describes in detail the pros and cons of all major applications and services.

Its capabilities include both the translation of the entire web page, and individual words, phrases and sentences present on it, which can be simply selected with the mouse.

ImTranslator has a history of all completed translations, which will not allow you to lose the information you need.

Its functions also include:

• language recognition;
• scoring of results;
• reverse translation.

The add-on has a number of hotkeys that can speed up your work with text at times. Includes an editor and spelling corrector designed for 8 languages.

Including it allows you to use for data entry.

Designed for practicality and simplicity, it fully corresponds to this, and based not on one, but several dictionaries at once, it also embodies the reliability of translation.

Not the most technically difficult, but very useful, and most importantly, often used, it is responsible for creating and allows you to design comments for them in various styles.

In or through the mail, when you have questions or for the sake of a joke, we constantly take screenshots, save them as a souvenir or exchange them, and with this add-on for Firefox it is much more convenient to do this.

It also allows you to capture any object on the screen and provides a choice of what to do:

• print a screenshot;
• save in PDF format;
• export the result to OneNote.

Please note: FireShot Pro differs from other add-ons in the ability to take a screenshot of all open tabs with just one click of the mouse.

It also has an editor that allows you to scale the picture, crop it and change its size in every possible way. It is he who is responsible for creating comments and has a large set of tools for this.

There are enough malicious sites on the network and this add-on was created to protect users from threats posed by them.

Unlike other add-ons, it is not based on computer analysis of web pages, but on the opinions of real people.

Hundreds and thousands of people around the world work and make online purchases and when they come across dubious sites, as a rule, they leave reviews about them.

Using a well-thought-out algorithm, it analyzes the ratings left for certain web pages and, in its own way, emphasizes the reputation of each of them.

When the animated icon turns green, it means that the site is trustworthy and secure.

Yellow asks you to be more careful, because full confidence the page did not deserve. Red indicates danger and advises you to leave the site as soon as possible.

In addition, the add-on independently blocks domains that pose an undisguised threat, excludes downloads from the Internet, and also warns against making purchases in online stores of a suspicious nature.

An unlucky add-on created for Mozilla Firefox, solely so that you no longer have to constantly click the Refresh button.

If the site is not self-updating, and you expect changes from it, this add-on is for you.

ReloadEvery is relevant, because millions of people often follow sports competitions, changes on the stock exchange and other processes that can change in an instant.

It successfully refreshes your selected page at a given interval of time. To enable it, you just need to click on its icon while on the desired site and set the required period.

There are standard 5-, 10-, 30-second intervals, as well as 1-, 5-, 15-minute intervals.

Please note that its functions allow you to create, customize and save your own intervals.

Among other things, the add-on has the ability to update all open tabs at random periods of time, which are selected randomly.

A useful browser add-on for those who have regular problems connecting to the Internet.

Scrapbook allows you to save web pages so that you can view them even when offline.

In other words, it creates entire databases from such pages and at the same time has a number of possibilities:

• saves not only the text of the site, but also the pictures, the style of its design and multimedia inserts, while observing its structure;
• saves several tabs at once;
• has the ability to save those pages to which the links on the selected page lead;
• provides the ability to create several databases at once.

Improving the latest version, the developers have endowed it with finding the necessary information in the database by title and even by time.

In addition, for greater convenience, the user can leave comments to the saved pages.

There is also a block for notes and the ability to edit web pages: delete, add, change content on the pages.

The topic of privacy of personal data on the network is gaining momentum from year to year, respectively, with this, applications and plugins are regularly created, one of the brightest representatives of which is Ghostery.

As an add-on to the browser, it is focused on finding beacons and various network bugs that their owners or advertisers specifically place on websites in order to track traffic.

It recognizes the traces of more than five hundred companies and even such giants as and, along the way, providing all possible information about the way they collect data.

However, its main advantage lies in blocking embedded documents, various images and scripts, which are fraught with a threat.

Please note: Ghostery never asks to register or provide any personal information. The use of the add-on is entirely anonymous.

To develop and improve the plugin, the GhostRank function was also added to it, which allows those who are not indifferent to add the bugs they have found to the existing database.

In connection with the constantly emerging restrictions and blocking of individual sites and even social networks, attempts to bypass the barriers that are put up by providers have become relevant.

One of the best options for those who use the Mozilla Firefox browser is FriGate, which solves all problems based on a connection to a proxy server.

He successfully manages to unblock web pages, spending a minimum of resources on it.

It is worth noting that FriGate is able to recognize which site is blocked and which is not, so when you enter regular, readily accessible web pages, it is disabled.

The only drawback is a little slower work with locked resources and, unfortunately, this cannot be fixed.

For greater openness of their product, the developers have made available to users the choice of algorithms by which access to sites is performed.

Depending on them, the speed of work can vary up or down.

Despite the fact that today the browser is no longer as popular as a few years earlier, it is still used by millions of people around the world. At one time, this browser became popular due to the support of extensions, of which an incredible amount was released for Firefox. Gradually, many of the features that popular plugins added have been replaced regular means... But even today there are many extensions that make the life of Fire Fox users much easier and more enjoyable. The most interesting and useful such extensions, in our humble opinion, we will list in this article.

What extensions are most often installed by active netizens for their browsers today? Ad blockers, of course! After all, "surfing" without being distracted by annoying banners and pop-up windows is much more pleasant. In addition, you do not waste traffic to download unnecessary graphic elements of the web page. Why did we choose uBlock and not the more popular Adblock? Because uBlock searches for and blocks ads on the page much more thoroughly, does not "slow down" the browser and offers a much more convenient interface for "whitelisting" resources.

The best, in our opinion, extension for ensuring the safety and anonymity of the Internet. It will allow you to change the user's IP and enable traffic encryption through the VPN server. Thus, you will gain access to web resources that do not work in your country and will be able to bypass IP blocking in any game or service. ZenMate is distinguished from other similar extensions by its relatively high speed and stability of the VPN connection. If you, for some reason, did not like this extension, then try using a good alternative -!

Do you think Mozilla Firefox is fast browser? We are ready to agree with you! But to speed up the loading of web pages even more, try installing the Fasterfox add-on. This is a set of tweaks that allow you to disable unnecessary functions and services of the browser, which can negatively affect the speed of its work. Keep in mind that the extension interface is in English only!

Just a great solution for people who want to shake off the feeling of being watched by a web browser. It disables all sorts of mechanisms for collecting personal data and statistics, which the visited resources can obtain both "legally" and fraudulently. By the way, the add-on has a very nice interface and it feels like it kind of "speeds up" the browser.

An extension that helps automate work with the browser through macros. If you do not know what a macro is, then this addition will not interest you at all. For those who know how to use (and maybe even write themselves) macros, iMacros will give you almost limitless possibilities for setting up automatic execution of various operations with Firefox.

A small but useful extension that prevents JavaScript from running on pages. One of the main advantages of this limitation is increasing the speed and safety of the browser. However, some pages may not display correctly due to JavaScript disabled. Websites where NoScript interferes with work can be added to the "whitelist".

If the previous extension disallows the execution of scripts, then this - on the contrary, allows you to make them "work" for your benefit. Typically, Greasemonkey is used to change the look of your favorite web service or social network. For example, replace the boring white background of the page with a beautiful image. The extension also allows you to disable some of the restrictions of services that interfere with work. For example, you can disable protection from going to a suspicious site from the Vkontatke social network.

An abbreviation that stands for (no, not World of Tanks, as fans of multiplayer games might think) Web of Trust. It allows you to view the "reputation" of various web resources and identify fraudulent ones among them. Indicators of "honesty" are displayed both in the search results and when entering the URL you need pages manually. If the WOT icon turns into a color other than green when visiting the site, we recommend that you do not download files from this site and, even more so, do not carry out financial transactions on it. Better just leave such a resource.

Proxy manager that is much easier to work with than with standard Firefox tools. The extension allows you to easily switch between servers added to the list, move frequently used proxies to a separate section, and even automatically check their health. This extension also works with Thunderbird and SeaMonkey.

These are all the extensions that we can safely recommend to almost every browser user from Mozilla. Of course, there are other useful additions, so to pretend to compile the most complete list"utilities" we dare not. What extensions do you use? Share in the comments!
