It’s time for more fun and useful Firefox extension picks. Without further adieu:
- Tark (Temporary Bookmarks): Is your Firefox bookmarks littered with bookmarks that had only short-term bookmarks that you failed to clean up after you used them? Tark lets you save those temporary bookmarks with an expiration date. After the time elapses, Tark’d bookmarks icons will change and you can choose to keep it or delete it.
- Easy DragToGo: Firefox lets you drag text, images, links, etc with your mouse. This extension extends that functionality. Check out the link for the full list of things you can get with this.
- TooManyTabs: Many of us get carried away with too many open tabs. Here is another extension that trys to address this issue. TooManyTabs allows you to store up to over 50 tabs in multiples rows by a single click. Saves some space and memory as idle tabs are put aside. {experimental add-on}
- App Discover: A lot of web applications have it’s excellent desktop alternatives that extends them like Adobe AIR apps, Prism apps, etc. App Discover alerts you of those Apps that are available when you are on relevant sites like Twitter, etc. It’s great if you like descovering new apps to try. Or you could come to ShanKri-la where I do the work for you. π
- GreaseFire: If you love Greasemonkey extension, GreaseFire is to GM where AppDiscover was to finding apps. GreaseFire automatically finds scripts from UserScripts.org for the site you are visiting. It’s a great way to find new Greasemonkey scripts.
Also, check out our Top 15 Greasemonkey Scripts for GMail & Google Reader. - FastForward: You may be familiar with Amazon’s recommendations that helps you find out what else is liked my most people who also looked at the product you are looking at. FastForward experimental add-on does just that for a website you are on. It takes you to another website which most people viewed next. If you have been looking for a StumbleUpon alternative, you could give this a try.{experimental add-on}

The more tabs plug in seems to have been made to order for me! Must get it.
You’re right live wire. Too many tabs is a plugin for me. I’ve got to check other week picks.

Really enjoyed reading this post and I’m definetely going to check the extensions that you have picked out. I have to agree with the post above, when i saw the ‘too many tabs’ extensions i thought this sounds great as me and a lot of friends have this very problem. My tab count also slows my PC down considerably so this would address that issue which would be good for when i’m running mutiple programmes. Thanks for the help.

K, you’re killing me, with all these great tools you always blog about and me not having enough time to keep up, I had to create a special bookmark called Shankrila Picks, so I can save all the info and keep track of it.
I really like the App Discover! I don’t see how you keep up with all this stuff man. It truly amazes me.
I’m grabbing Tark right this second. I’ve got like a million billion bookmarks that should have been gone a long time ago. But, I always forget to delete them.

The FastFoward extension looks really cool. This could be very useful. I really like these blog posts you do! Thanks a lot!
K,
How do you have time to find all these great extensions. I can’t even keep up with all the things you talk about in this blog. The Fastforward looks really interesting to see what others are doing. The Toomanytabs also looks good. It is amazing how many tabs a person can get open in a few hours of surfing. Sometimes I get lost.
Thanks for the info.

I like the idea of temporary bookmarks. I have so many bookmarks (100’s) that I bookmarked at the time to get back too. They still sit there today clogging up my list and making it harder to find my long term marks.
Awesome list as always. Tark is my fav from this post. I am struggling with too many bookmarks! π

JR, wow.. that’s very flattering! π Now that you have a bookmark folder, I will keep ’em coming. π
Bunk, that’s the way I roll. Just kidding man.. I am just obsessed with finding new and cool things and this blog is just an extension of my interests. If only I had the time blog everything I find..
Andy, thanks for those kind words.. I feel like I just had a can of Red Bull.
Syahid.. I am learning to love Tark as well.
Sometimes I feel like all I write about is Firefox. But, all your comments just prove me wrong time and again. So, I shall keep finding good and fun extensions and will posting them!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Have a great week.
Great collections of extensions, especially TooManyTabs. I usually get carried away and at the end of day I’ve got so many tabs that I have hard time finding particular one.

I really love firefox extensions, I just wish some of the coders would clean up their code, because some of them can be quite a bit of memory hoggers, and the memory doesn’t go away after it is used, it just stays there.
Oh My! That is a whole lot of cool Firefox apps. Never knew they existed. And did you know this: Just today heard that there is a portable form of Firefox browser that you can carry along in your memory stick wherever you go. Not sure if you’ve posted about it already.
I love how many extensions Firefox offers and how often they are updated. My favorite extension is probably ad blocker as it keeps my computer running fast instead of getting bogged down with pesky ads.
Tark is handy. Thanks.
As to Easytogo, I would prefer Firegeuster.
The extensions listed by you are awesome. The FastFoward extension is of great usage indeed. We all appreciate your work.
I second Lily on the FastForward extension. Does a great job at doing what stumbleupon does, except you don’t have to download another whole new browser to get the functionality. Cheers k.
