Firefox

Firefox is a popular open-source web-browser from the Mozilla foundation. It is remarkable for its extensions and plug-ins, all developed by the surrounding community.

Some really useful extensions

• Google Browser Sync: developed by Google. This extension allows to synchronize the Firefox (bookmarks, history, cookies, opened tabs and saved passwords) by storing the configuration online in a Google account.

• Google Gears: developed by Google. This extension allows dedicated web-apps to go offline. One example is Google Reader. Now you can work offline with your web-app. And when you're done, you simply go online and synchronize.

• del.icio.us: This extension integrates seamlessly your bookmarks with your del.icio.us account. Works well for shortcuts too.

• Greasemonkey: allows to run user scripts, little custom-made javascripts that run over the web-pages opened by firefox.

• Google notebook: developed by Google. Embeds seamlessly the notebook service provided by google for online storage of notes and text snippets. The only way of actually using this tool.
