Mozilla Firefox is indeed one of the best browsers available today. Firefox web browser is my favorite too. Tab browsing and pop-up blocker have won the hearts of many avid Internet surfers. Spell checking, session restore, integrated search, phishing protection and automatic updates are some of the widely used and popular features. Firefox can be immensely personalized by installing Add-ons.

I have compiled a list of Firefox Add-ons that I frequently use. It takes several days to explore all the Add-ons. Start your journey by clicking on Tools>Add-ons>Get Extensions from your Firefox browser window. Or visit the Firefox Add-ons page directly.

Password Exporter: You know how hard it is to remember thousand and one usernames and passwords. Every other website has a registration and login system. I have seen people writing down the passwords and usernames because their memories are not as much reliable. Some people even use password management software. It is very convenient to store all your website passwords and usernames in Firefox browser. Firefox remembers the form data including the usernames and passwords. When you upgrade your operating system or when you move to a different computer you can use this handy Add-on. Install this Add-on and export your passwords to a file. On the other computer, install the same Add-on and import the file. All your usernames and passwords will be magically retained.

Yesterday, I had to upload a table and a paragraph of text in one of our websites built on Drupal CMS. I prepared the content in OpenOffice.org Writer. I quickly inserted a table and typed the text in a paragraph in OO Writer. I also added some colors to the table to enhance the look and feel of the document. I thought I could easily replicate the design in the Drupal CMS.

I logged in to Drupal and inserted the post with the table and text content. This post defaced the ambiance of the whole web page. The table was displayed in the extreme right and I had to use the horizontal scroll bar in the browser to see the content. The post needed CSS to fix the problem.

I am developing a solution to add a custom CSS file to Drupal from several days. Due to stringent deadlines of the existing projects I'm unable to spend much time on it. The idea of WYSIWYG editor flashed in my mind. I quickly downloaded the TinyMCE software from Moxicode and the TinyMCE module from Drupal. Installed them on the local copy of the Drupal site. The WYSIWYG editor never turned up in the content posting area. I had to spend some more time to fix the installation issue. I did not have enough time to fiddle with WYSIWYG editor installation.

I looked at other alternatives. I exported the OO Writer file to HTML which gave me only 800 lines of XHTML. Inserting 800 lines of XHTML markup was really not worth for a small post.

Finally, I copied and pasted the table from OO Writer to OO Draw. Exported the table as a jpeg image. Uploaded the image and inserted the text in the Drupal site. Added a one liner markup to float the image to the right of the text paragraph. That gave me what I wanted.
