So what is RiteofTongue spellcheck. I use GuruNet to look up spellings and meanings. It's a Firefox extension that comes up with a rightclick when you highlight a typed word. If it thinks your spelling is wrong, you get a bolded version in the pop-up. Click it and your typed word changes. About as close to word spellcheck as you can get. addons.mozilla.org ForecastFox is a neat little weather program. Get international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com, and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension. addons.mozilla.org Try this one for faster use when you want to send in larger font to your printer. IE View - Adds "View page in Internet Explorer" links to the content and link context menu. Handy for previewing pages in IE, loading up IE-only pages when you run across them in Mozilla, etc. addons.mozilla.org Here's the one CB posted about. Image Zoom 0.1.7.1 - Adds zoom functionality for images. Use it for right mouse click, then scroll wheel to see detail in small pictures addons.mozilla.org A new one I haven't used. SessionSaver .2 0.2.1.028 By rue SessionSaver restores your browser -exactly- as you left it, every startup, every time. Not even a crash will phase it. Windows, tabs, even things you were typing -- they're all saved. Use the menu to add + remove sessions; right, shift, or middle-clicking will delete. "Simple mode" for peace of mind, or "Expert mode" for advanced flexibility. Just Click. Install. Rad. Added TextSaver: everything you type, saved (even in frames). Added RemoteSync: session-syncing between browsers (syncs Adblock, too). Added intelligent postData-restore addons.mozilla.org Another one that's new to me. Mouse Gestures 1.0.1 Mouse Gestures preview - By Optimoz Team Allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current webpage, without reaching for the toolbar or the keyboard. You can also use click-only "rocker" gestures which are even faster than drawn gestures. addons.mozilla.org This one sounds great! gTranslate 0.1b By Pau With gTranslate you can translate any text in a webpage just by selecting and right-clicking over it. The extension uses the Google translation services to translate the text. addons.mozilla.org Some here might use this one. googlebar 0.9.12.01 By John Woods Google toolbar for Firefox, with many of the features of the IE version. Major new release. Partial list of additions! Google Maps, Google Mail checker, Google Video, Google Desktop searching, Google Suggest, and website thumbnails(preview images) on the Google search results. addons.mozilla.org Tab X - Firefox Extension Tab X 0.9.1, by Stephen Clavering, released on May 31, 2005 Tab X preview - Tab X on the Mac version of Firefox Quick Description Adds a close button to each of the browser tabs, and removes the close button at the end of the tab bar. No longer hides the Close buttons in the various sidebars" addons.mozilla.org These, and many more, can be added and subtracted as you please. Makes Firefox unique among programs.
