Stratiform

N/A

The components are split into sections that in turn are divided into tabs displaying the various customization options for each element: shape, size, color, look, etc. Thanks, then, to Stratiform you can make Firefox fit in with the rest of your operating system, or even make it look like another browser such as Chrome or Opera.

LastPass Password Manager

LastPass

If you are a disaster and forget all users and passwords for different websites but you think that function in Firefox is not safe enough to store your passwords, you should try this add-on. LastPass offers more safety than the built-in password manager in Firefox and that's the reason why LastPass is being installed by lots of users nowadays. LastPass stores passwords in its own server and encrypts them before they are uploaded to the server, so they are not accessible on the way. Of course, we recommend you to set an strange but easy-to-remember password, because that one will give you access to all your passwords. The other advantage is that it can create high-security passwords you won't have to remember (it will use them automatically). By that way you'll increase security but you won't have to rack your brains to remember them. Finally, you can import all passwords from Firefox automatically. Don't hesitate, safety is important and LastPass increases it.

Flashgot is compatible with most of the well-known download managers: FlashGet, Free Download Manager, Fresh Download, GetRight, HiDownload, InstantGet, Internet Download Accelerator, LeechGet, Mass Downloader, Net Transport, NetAnts, ReGet... Though it is mainly focused on Flashget.

OpenDownload

Jeremy Gillick

Very often, when you download a file by using Mozilla Firefox you are asked what to do, but the main problem we find is that it only ask you to save the file or to cancel it but not to run it after downloading the file and we think that is an important feature.
