How to make firefox safer!

[Dak]

I am not sure if this belongs here, or if someone has already made something close to it.


Note: None of these were made by me, I just found them.

Ad Blocker Plus:
This firefox add-on allows you to simply disable all ads on a site, without having to do it your self. It blocks text ads, flash ads, picture ads, and more. It is a great firefox add-on and I have had it for months. Simple and easy.

Firefox Add-on

Finjan secure browser for firefox.
This program allows you to see if a link / site is safe before you click it!
If a site has been suspected of malicious viruses / etc. It will not let you view the site directly, but instead take you to an area that asks you if you would like to continue. Great if you do not have a virus program installed! Does not stop you from using your favorite programs to hack, scam, etc.
Green = Safe Site
Brown / Dark Yellow / Dark Gold = Unknown / Cannot receive Data
Red = Not Safe / Possibly Not safe.
Highly recommend this!
Saved me numerous amounts of times!

Flash Block:
Lag on certain flash areas? Such as Gaia's new flash registration, or flash games, flash ads, anything else flash? Tired of lagging?

I have a crappy computer thus why I got this, It allows you to stop flash areas and asks you with a simple icon that you click to display the flash. If you do not want to display the flash you don't click it. Simple enough.

CLICK! Online Screen caps!:
Don't know how to take a screen cap of an area on the Internet?
This allows you to take a screen cap of an actual page on the Internet and it will show the page AS IS at the moment you take the screen cap. This is a good add-on if you need proof of a certain area, or if you need to show a friend news from yahoo or something, but they are away for a few days or weeks. This does not work with flash on the internet due to it taking a live screen shot and not a still one. This only works with firefox, it might work with IE if you go to the website area.

CLICK! FF Addon

EXAMPLE: Screen cap using it of my old gaia account.
PAGE
Just a simple click of a button and you can save a page!

Tabrenamizer

FF Add-on

Paranoid? Parents don't want you there? Etc?

Tabrenamizers can change the name of your tab to what ever you want. Easily change it back to the original content. etc.

I use it to hide my tabs sometimes, such as when I use webcammax to show my pc to people etc. Works great. Allows me to customize tabs to anything I want.



Tiny URL creator

With just a right click you can make any link a tiny url fast!

Want to preview a tinyurl before you click it? tinyurl.com's new preview thingy... Somewhere on their site you know?


by Intuit Innovation Lab

I use this because my "recently closed" area isn't working.
I use it to view my previous websites visited. It records the data of where you go through your whole firefox session.
(From when you start firefox that moment until you close it, repeat.)

CLICK! addon seems interesting but i'd rather use Screengrab!

[Dak]

Added them to the bottom.
I used to use NoScript but I don't use it much anymore. Its on my disabled list. xD
I will have to test screengrab.

[k[ore]]

yeah noscript is usually more trouble than its worth, so i always set mine to globally allow scripts because it usually restricts all the useful/good features as well as the bad ones

[Dak]

Thats why I disabled it on mine. xD

I forgot to add something. Weather type thing.

[second2none]

It you know how to use no scripts properly then its the best addon out of all of these. specially the XSS function
