My Favorite Firefox Add-ons

The best advantage of Firefox is numerous useful Add-ons made by the users. Here is the list of my favorite Add-ons.

1. IE Tab
   
   IE Tab can open IE-only pages in a separate Internet Explorer window or just view them in a Mozilla/Firefox tab. Believe it or not, you can run Windows Update from Mozilla/Firefox.
   
   
   

2. Forecastfox
   
   Forecastfox is an extension that brings international weather from AccuWeather.com to your Firefox web browser. You can use your US zip code or you can easily find your town or city by using the built in search tool.
   
   
   

3. Google Notebook

4. PDF Download
   
   Are you annoyed to click on a link and then wait a lot of time just because the PDF plugin is loading? This extension, every time you click on a link, checks if the target is a pdf file and in this case let you choose what you want to do (open pdf file inside or outside Firefox, download it to the filesystem or view it as HTML).
