Firefox extension favorites
I've long been an advocate of Mozilla's Firefox over using IE for browsing the web. I thought today I'd list a couple great add-on extensions to Firefox that make surfing the web a richer experience.
WeatherFox »
Want to know the weather in your zip code without having to visit ever more annoying news or weather sites? Well then, WeatherFox is the extension for you! It's simple to configure (enter your zip code) and it sits unobtrusively in your FireFox status bar showing graphics and displaying descriptive forecast info. Simplicity is key to this add-on and I recommend it to anyone who steps outside and wonders "Should I bring an umbrella with me today?" or who lives in a windowless cave.
SpellBound »
Ever find yourself copying and pasting text into Word from a form you're filling out online? If so, you may want to look into SpellBound. It enables spell checking of any web form with a simple right-click. You can choose your region/language of choice before downloading to customize SpellBound to meet your diverse needs. I checked this post with it! Again, simple to use and extremely useful. You'll miss it when you're using someone else's computer.
