If you’re using Fire­fox you’ve surely heard of some­thing called Exten­sions. These add-ons – as the term exten­sion already sug­gests – let you extend and per­son­al­ize your Fire­fox instal­la­tion. There is lotta crap out there, though, which trans­forms the task of find­ing good exten­sions into a real chal­lenge. I’ve already listed the exten­sions I use here. Now it’s time for an update since I got my hands on some new exten­sions pro­vid­ing me with ever more fea­tures I really like.

First off, I installed the All-in-One-Sidebar, which makes – prop­erly con­fig­ured – many options more eas­ily acces­si­ble. Addi­tion­ally, I don’t need the Slim Exten­sion List any more; the AiOS takes care about that too.
Next, I stum­bled over loca­tion­bar². The author claims that it reduces the spoof­ing risk but that’s up to the user, I guess. How­ever, the other fea­tures are of more inter­est to me and the lat­est ver­sion finally allows the user to change some set­tings.
If you’re read­ing a lot of news or blog posts you have to know about Para­grasp. This exten­sion adds a high­light to the para­graph you’re cur­rently read­ing and allows you to com­fort­ably nav­i­gate a site by mov­ing the high­light. No more get­ting lost in long arti­cles and mul­ti­ple tabs, I promise.

Doesn’t sound like much and it prob­a­bly isn’t, but every­thing works fine for me. One day I’ll try this exten­sion which is rumored to syn­chro­nize even exten­sions which would be the best way for me to elim­i­nate dif­fer­ent browser con­fig­u­ra­tions at home and at work. Have fun
