firefox-mac-pdf

In ye olde days, displaying PDF documents in the browser drove me nuts. You’d unwittingly click on a link, and your entire web browser would freeze up for 30 seconds while Adobe Reader started. But since PDF is baked so closely into the OS X system, this Firefox plugin is wicked fast, and thoroughly helpful.

Superb Firefox extension, which remembers which sites you had to change the text-zoom level for. This should be baked into Firefox by default, if you ask me.

Locationbar² | Firefox Add-ons | Mozilla Corporation

Nice plugin for Firefox which simplifies the URL field and emphasizes the hostname of the URL. Could help users avoid phishing attacks. Should this be the standard URL display in Firefox?
