3 Must have Fire fox Extension for Bloggers

By silki

Mozilla Fire fox is the preferred browser of the “informed netizens”. There is no doubt about that. The only substantial reason of the higher market share of Internet Explorer, is just that it is shipped bundled with the most used OS on the world, period.

When we think of “informed netizens”, Bloggers are the first presons, which come to my mind. Bloggers, who are full of creativity, who think critically, well I mean most of them if not all, and bloggers, who have to design and redesign their blog layouts and themes. For them, Mozila fire fox is the best web browser.

Did you say Why?

Just check out our Why Firefox section.

If you are not convinced, let me give you three more reasons. These are three essential Fire fox extensions, which are must to have in your tool kit.

FireFTP: I know you have been using Filezilla, or some similar FTP program for uploading your themes and plugins to your web server. They are nice, they are popular. But one inherent disadvantage is that they are stand alone FTP clients. Which means, you have to leave the comforts of you web browser and start a new program, if you have to FTP files to web server. However, FireFTP is a safe FTP client application, which is light-weight, and runs within your browser window itself. Use it, you will love it. However, one drawback is that, it doesn’t support SFTP.

ColorZilla: When you like at the color of a pixel on any web page extremely good, and want to use that color in your theme, how do you do that. You have to know the exact hex color code of that color. This fire fox extension ColorZilla, allows you to get that hex code in seconds. There are many other uses also for this useful firefox extension. There is another useful program called Color Cop, which you may also like to look at.

IE Tab: And finally, if you ever had tweaked the template or theme of your blog, you must be knowing, how important it is to test the theme in all the popular web browsers, specially Internet Explorer. It is not necessary, that if your template is looking perfect in Fire fox, it would also be looking equally nice in Internet Explorer. Your visitors may be using IE, and your theme, must be equally good for them as well. This Fire fox extension IE Tab, allows you to launch a new tab, which shows how the web page will look like if it was opened in Internet Explorer.

Cool nice Extensions. Go, grab them. They are free, obviously.
