Firefox Extensions You Need to Start out with!
I have just recently accepted a job as a Creative Director for a Web/Print Marketing Agency, and as I sat down at my new desk and fired up my computer I realized that I forgot to get a list of all the great Firefox extensions that I had previously. You can guess how annoying it was for me to keep looking for the extensions that I desperetly missed.
Well, no more! I have have decided to make this list available to the world so that all those web/print designers can quickly access all the "must have" extensions, plus I'll add one of the most important free softwares that everyone needs.
Memento - The best sticky notes software out there. Memento is about 345k and does pretty much everything with little desktop notes that I want it to do. The emphasis is on being convenient, unobtrusive, and easy to use. I hope you find it useful too.
If you have any other must haves, please add to the list!
