10 FALs on Firefox Extensions

As a reminder to myself, and a recommendation to others, if you’re using Firefox you may find some of these extensions useful. I’m hopeful that eventually I’ll have a list of 10 extensions that will complete a 10 FALs (Frequently Asked Links) series on Firefox Extensions.

1. Tab Mix Plus
   - I was introduced to this extension by a colleague at work. Provides session management and every possible feature you could think of for tabbed browsing.
    
2. AdBlock
   - A great utility to filter out advertisements and other content from a site.
    
3. Session Saver
   - Saves everything in your browser environment and restores the state when you reopen Firefox.
    
4. Clone Window
   - An extension that most Internet Explorer users look for to maintain content of a window when creating new instances of the browser window.
    
5. SnapBack
   - Originally introduced by Safari, the SnapBack extension allows you to return to the point where you last typed a URL or selected a bookmark. Hat tip to Don for the SnapBack link.

Frequently Asked Links

I’m going to coin a phrase that I haven’t seen elsewhere but hope at the same time that I’m not abusing someone’s copyright. Either way, we’ve all heard of Frequently Asked Questions or Frequently Answered Questions, but more often I find myself looking for information sources where I can spend time trying to learn or understand something as opposed to just finding an easy solution. So, to aid with this, if I come across something that should be helpful in learning or understanding something I’ll drop it in a section called Frequently Asked Links or FALs to aid others in their quest for knowledge.
