Firefox addons...

I haven't written any updates lately because I've been very busy, but now I'm back...

These are Firefox addons I foumd, I hope you'll find them useful:
Meebo - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5700
let's you connect to many IMs right from your browser(opens in a new tab).
Gspace Panel - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1593
allows you to upload files to your Gmail account in a fast and easy panel(opens from a bottom left button).
PDF download - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636
let's you download a PDF file when you click its link instead of trying to open it.

Surfing the web anonymously

If you want to surf the web anonymously there is a simple solution - Proxy servers.
A proxy server is a server you can surf from using its identity and IP, there are sites that provide this server for free, here is a list of some of these sites:

http://www.youhide.com
http://youhide.net
http://anonym.to
http://www.allowu.com
http://www.avoidr.com
http://www.theproxyfree.com
http://www.proxybrowsing.com

All these proxy servers are pretty fast, but if they are uncomfortable, there is another way of using them - a firefox addon called SwitchProxy.
You can download it from here(this site has a guide on how to use the addon too): http://mozmonkey.com/switchproxy/

GreaseMonkey

GreaseMonkey is a Firefox addon i've been using for a while, i think it will be useful to everyone. GreaseMonkey lets you add a Javascript to a site or sites - changing/adding adjustments to the site that only you can see. For example you can add a script that lets you download DivX files from video sites like stage6.

To download GreaseMonkey(Firefox only):
http://www.greasespot.net
To download the DivX download script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12589

To install a script:
1. Install GreaseMonkey and restart Firefox.
2. Find a script you want to add and view it(in your browser, no need to download).
3. Go to Tools > Greasemonkey > New Script. Now a dialog will show, wait a few seconds and click on Install, if the script is installed you will see a message in the status bar that confirms the installation.
*4. Notice the monkey head icon on the bottom of your browser, if you click it you can enable and disable GreaseMonkey.
