Firefox 6: The 3 Add-Ons You Should Download
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Mozilla is scheduled to do a proper roll-out of the newest version of its hugely popular browser Firefox today, but for those users particularly eager to get their hands on Firefox 6, Mozilla already made the update available for download Monday.
Most of the changes are cosmetic tweaks making the browser look sleeker. As with any version of Firefox, the best features are arguably the add-ons one can download for free, so we have rounded up three essential extra features you should get now, regardless of whether you're planning to switch to Firefox 6 right away or stick with the previous version. |
| As Mozilla rolls out Firefox 6, the best features are arguably the add-ons one can download for free. |
Before you download any other Firefox extension, be sure to get Adblock Plus, which will prevent all those annoying pop-up advertisements from bombarding you. Not only will this make your browsing experience more efficient and enjoyable, it may also stop you from making as many impulse buys online. Web of Trust
The Web of Trust add-on factors in millions of user reviews to rate each website's reputation so you can determine how safe it is before you click on it. The add-on also has a parental control setting that blocks any sites with a rating level indicating it's inappropriate for children. Invisible Hand
There are dozens of price comparison tools on the Web, but the great thing about the Invisible Hand add-on is that it will perform a price comparison while you're shopping even if you forget to do it yourself. If you visit a webpage for a product and that item is available for less elsewhere, Invisible Hand will automatically tell you where you should look to buy it at a lower price.
