Note 1: This is my first "geeky" post. Pre-requisites for reading this post - you should be aware of what 'Mozilla Firefox' is. If you are not, please close this page RIGHT NOW, you are embarrassing me. :P
Note 2: The list below is only suggestive and for the "normal" junta. Certified geeks need not read it (and hence I save myself from curses from some campus junta through this disclaimer. Phew!)

You've reached thus far. Congratulations! You've heard what Mozilla Firefox is. But probably you need to know a little more to exploit what Firefox really is. Even if you are aware of the so called 'plug-ins', the list below might help you a lot in enhancing your browsing experience.
Some plug-ins, which I think everybody wants to use, does not because they are not aware, and will get addicted to once they get used to it:
1. Video DownloadHelper
Ever visited youtube.com, or for that matter any site that offers video streaming capabilities, and you pulled your hair off your head because you were unable to download it.
Head straight to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006
After installing the plug-in, just visit the site you want to extract video from, click on the DownloadHelper icon, and Voila!
2. TinEye Reverse Image Search
Yup! You read that right. Always wondered what that image was? Try reverse searching the image on the web through this plug-in. Try it. Its amazing. Was looking for something like this for a long long time. This would help you figure a lot about the mysterious image that you had all along.

Just registered for a twitter account? But it is a pain logging into it every time to check for updates? Well, there's a plug-in for it. If you keep your browser open all the time (as we like to do), this would help you keep a track of your tweets, and post tweets as well, right from Firefox.

4. Personas for Firefox
And finally, whats Firefox to you if it isn't you own. Head on to http://www.getpersonas.com/ to get a cool new look for your window to the internet, and make it your own. Check out the cool gallery on http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/All/Popular
So, that's all folks! Until some other time, when I feel "geeky" enough to make a geeky post.
And by the way, I use some cooler plug-ins too, but they are too nerdy to write about here. If you are interested, let me know in the comments.
PS: For those who in the dark about 'plug-ins', you've got to INSTALL them to use them. :P
Icing for your Firefox...
