Fire fox Add-ons

I tried 3 add-ons.

1. ReloadEvery

This is a kind of useful add-on. With this add-on, you can reload the web page(s, if you are using several tabs) you are looking at automatically although you don't do anything. You can change it's setting in advance, then this add-on works every 5 seconds, for example, according to your setting. The interval is completely up to you. You can order it to work every 999 minutes and 59 seconds, I don't know whether such reloading is practical or not, though.


2. Quicknote

This is also, and perhaps a more useful add-on. This add-on enables you to make notes immediately on a web site. If you come up with something you want to write down when viewing a web page, you no longer have to open Notepad program. All you have to do is just to press the Ctrl key with F7 to access Quicknote which appears on the left side of the screen. It contains 4 tabs and each of those tabs has enough space. You will not have trouble in categorizing and saving a lot of information for sure.


3. MushroomKingdom 2


Unlike the two above, this add-on is far from useful, but I think this is pretty attractive. When you add this one to your Firefox, it becomes full of Mario characters. The button to go back turns into Mario's face and the button to go forward is now Luige(?)'s face. When you cannot press those buttons, they are sleeping. There are more small but witty changes, too. Their heart-warming looks must make you comfortable.
