Mozilla Firefox – Plugins and Extensions – Add Print and Print Preview to Context Menu

16 Oct

Right-click on a web page and choose to print or print preview the page with the QuickPrint extension.

Do you frequently print web pages viewed in Mozilla Firefox, sometimes accessing the Print Preview feature to make sure your hardcopies look as intended? If so, you may find it frustrating to go through Firefox’s menus or use the Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut to access these features.

If you prefer using the context menu (right-click on Windows, Option-click on Mac), consider the “QuickPrint” plug-in. Just right-click a webpage and access the “Print” and “Print Preview” options from there. It’s that simple!…

Google Chrome – Disable Plugins Such as Flash Unless You Want Them to Run

16 Oct

Show boxes inside Google Chrome when a Flash, Shockwave, Adobe Reader, or other plug-in wants to run, allowing you to click to play them.

If you are concerned about the privacy, security, and system stability implications of running plug-ins such as Flash and Shockwave inside Google Chrome, you may have thought about completely disabling plug-ins. Unfortunately, doing so makes some websites difficult, if not impossible, to access.

One option is to have Google Chrome show you when it wants to run a plug-in, but not actually do so, giving you the ability to selectively turn on a Flash widget, play a Shockwave game, display a PDF file with an external viewer such as Adobe Reader, etc….

With the DblClicker extension you can double-click links to open up new tabs, useful for search results pages.

When browsing a webpage in Firefox that contains a lot of links, such as a search engine results page, have you found yourself opening each link in a new tab so you can easily switch back to the results page instead of having to use the back button?

If so, you probably have either held down the Ctrl or Command (Mac) key while clicking on each link, or you have right-clicked on each link and selected “Open Link in New Tab”….

Mozilla Firefox – Plugins and Extensions – Automatically Store Selected Text in the Clipboard

20 May

The AutoCopy plugin for Mozilla Firefox automatically places selected webpage text into the clipboard without you having to do anything.

Let’s face it – most of the time when you select text inside a webpage viewed via Firefox, your next step is to copy it to the clipboard for pasting inside another web page, word processing document, e-mail message, etc.

If you copy a lot of text, why not skip the copy step? Automatically have Firefox place selected text in the clipboard without you having to do anything with the “AutoCopy” plugin….

[MODIFIED] Mozilla Firefox – Plugins and Extensions – Generate Passwords Automatically with pwgen

22 Sep

If you’re tired of creating passwords every time you log into a new web service, the pwgen extension can generate passwords for you.

Although some web services let you logon with a preexisting Facebook, Google, Twitter, or Yahoo account, many still require generating user accounts where you need to enter passwords. Required for security, good passwords should include a variety of characters including lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and punctuation symbol. However, generating these passwords can be cumbersome.

The “pwgen” extension for Mozilla Firefox can help reduce some of the annoyances when signing up for new accounts by creating passwords for you. New passwords are automatically copied to the clipboard so you can paste them into websites and (optionally) password management applications. And if you don’t like a password or don’t find it tough enough for your needs, just click the “P” again to generate a new one….
