Recently I found this cool firefox addon called Fission which lets you mix address bar and progress bar together, that means you can see the progress bar progressing in the address bar itself when you open any link in firefox.

BlockSite is cool firefox addon which lets you block any website of your choice in firefox, and it will also disable and block all the hyperlinks to the websites you blocked.
This utility however can be used for novice firefox users as the extension itself can be disabled and uninstalled from firefox. You can enable or disable the warning messages displayed whenever a site is blocked to access. This extension basically adds the site blocking functionality that was removed from adblock plus.
Recently One of the reader asked us whether, how can we make firefox windows transparent just like windows vista. I goggled for the same and found a cool free firefox addon called Glasser which makes firefox windows transparent after installation.
This extension requires windows vista, windows 7 with aero glass as the active visual style to be activated in order to function correctly. Make sure to deactivate window blinds if you have it installed on your computer.
PageZipper is a one of the cool firefox addon which really makes it very simple to go to the next page, it scans the entire page for the text Next and automatically loads the next page when you scroll down at the current page.

SkipScreen is a really useful firefox addon for lot of users who download various types of files from the popular file and media sharing sites like Rapidshare, Megaupload, zShare, Mediafire, and more.
Most of these file sharing web sites have a annoying waiting time limit before a free user can start downloading the requested file.

Links2Tray is a small utility which sits in your system tray (near the clock). It will display a menu of bookmarks combining Internet Explorer Favourites, Bookmarks From FireFox, Google Chrome and Opera
It allows a quick access to the bookmarks of all the browsers installed on your computer. Choose the browser of your choice with which you want to open these bookmarks in Links2Tray menu.
Bookmark Duplicate Detector is a cool firefox addon which lets you find out duplicate bookmarks among all your firefox bookmarks. It also lets you delete all those duplicate bookmarks so, that you can get rid of all the duplicate bookmarks forever.
This is the best extension which lets you find and delete all the duplicates bookmarks one by one. If you have lot of bookmarks this extension is the best to remove duplicates bookmarks easily.
Auto Dial is cool firefox add on which lets you see the most frequently visited websites every time you open a new tab. It shows you the recently visited sites mesh with 3D parallax effect.
However the first run sucks as it depends on your firefox history, would be really cool if you surf for a lot on web through firefox.
