Quincy Jone’s daughter and one of the stars of The Office (one of the funniest shows on TV) Ms. Rashida Jones is our babe of the week this week. In looking for pictures for this post I find that she is much cuter while moving for some reason. She is still hot though, she just looks so yummy on the office. Jim is a lucky guy, I’d love to have to choose between Karen and Pam.

This weeks question of the week is a simple one. What are your five favorite Firefox extensions. If you still aren’t using Firefox then you are a moron and you should go download it right now.

Adblock

Adblock is reason enough to use firefox in my opinion. Permanently remove any ad that you don’t want to see. You can use wildcards to remove ads entirely from a server or just remove any individual ad. You can get adblock right here.

Duplicate Tab

The name says it all, right click on a tab and duplicate it. I am a bit of a tab whore and I use this one all the time, it comes in very handy. Get it right here.

Googlebar

This is not the standard google tool bar that you get from google. I prefer this one because it allows you to also search dictionary.com and you can click the google button normally to open your search results in the existing tab or middle click it open the results in a new tab. Get it right here.

IE Tab

I do a lot of web designing work and I need to make sure that all of my pages work in both browsers. I also rarely run across sites that don’t function properly in firefox so this comes in handy as well. You can also setup this extension to automatically open certain sites in an IE tab, great for those sites that don’t work in Firefox. Get it right here.

Last Tab

One thing that absolutely drove me nuts about Firefox when I first started using Firefox was when I had three or more tabs open and I was working with the first and then jumped to the third tab. When I would close the third tab the second tab would open. This drove me absolutely nuts, I was working with the first tab before I went to the third tab and when I closed the third tab I wanted the first tab to open again. I seriously don’t know if I would use Firefox if it weren’t for this extension it bugged me so much. Get it right here.

Flashblock

My favorite Firefox extension is definitely Flashblock

To put it simply it prevents flash programs from running until you click on the big “play” button in the middle of them. Yes this does cause an extra step when playing flash games or movies (like youtube.com) but it also stops all those horribly annoying flash ads from driving me bonkers.

I hate ads. I really do. They annoy me no end. I struggle watching TV at times because of the repetitive and annoying ads. This handy little program stops all those animated “Hit the bullseye and win a PS3!” stupidity from ever occurring on my browser. For those of you that wish to have a little better control over what content appears on your screen…this extension is for you. Get it right here.

Forecastfox

My next favorite is Forecastfox.

It’s a handy little weather program that…well…tells you the weather report. I’ve always been frustrated with weather.com and their huge ads and junk (see Flashblock). With this one I’ve got a constant view of the current weather (and multiple days forward) complete with radar…all in an unused portion of the browser. It’s very customizable and easy to use. Get it right here.

FireFTP

This is a basic but handy FTP program. Don’t ask me exactly what they are used for…it has something to do with uploading/downloading stuff from FTP sites. I’ve needed it when I was running my personal website and after using a couple other free ones I settled down with this. It integrates nicely into Firefox and has never let me down. Get it right here.

Google Send To Phone

If I was one of those uber crazy high end cell phone users I’m sure I’d be all over this one. But so far I’ve used it as a simple text message sending program and it’s been awesome. The only thing is you’ve got to know what carrier the phone is that you are sending messages to. Just click, paste or type, and send it! Piece of cake. Get it right here.

Adblock

This is a stronger more complex version of the ad blocking program that is built into Firefox. Again my hate of advertising pushed me toward this one. It allows you to block out pictures from appearing…but even better allows you to dig deeper into the pictures originating websites and block ALL the possible pictures they might send. Get it right here.
