Useful Firefox Plug-Ins

Firefox is one of the most popular browsers used on the internet today. One of the reasons the browser is so well liked is that it works with a wide variety of plug-ins that enhance its usefulness. A plug-in is a small piece of software that works with the browser to allow it to work more effectively. These plug-ins are not software that must be saved to archival DVDs or to a blank media CD-R to work. All you must do is download the plug-in and the software does the rest.

However, when asked about their favorite plug-ins for Firefox, many users mention three specific programs. The first of these plug-ins is Click and Clean. Click and Clean allows the user to delete temporary internet files, cookies, download history, local shared objects, private data, and browsing history in a fast and efficient manner. Click and Clean also deletes files in a secure manner, so the user can be sure that the data has been erased.

Abblock Plus is another popular plug-in offered by Firefox. Adblock prevents pop-up ads, banners from installing tracking programs onto your machine. Many users especially appreciate the fact that the user can manipulate Adblock Plus, allowing it to be disabled or enhanced for certain websites or on a temporary basis.

Shockwave is a nother plug-in that many who view video and animation online as well as play online games consider essential. Shockwave allows the browser to display rich multimedia and interactive content that would not be displayed if the plug-in were not installed.
