Newest Firefox extensions discussed every Friday.

This week, we are focusing on blogging extensions for Firefox.

Performancing Firefox Extension

If you have a Wordpress, MoveableType or Blogger account, this extension will be invaluable to you. The Firefox extension provides you a full featured blog editor for your posts within Firefox.

Unfortunately, Performancing is only available for Firefox 1.5 or higher. I would recommend getting the latest and greatest of Firefox. Get Firefox! It can't hurt and it is definitely advised.

But there are more advantages to using Performancing that disadvantages:

  • Image FTP Upload
  • Basic Metrics Chart viewing
  • Blogger.com improvements (Currently there are issues with the blogger.com service)
  • API url autodetect
  • Much improved stability and performance.
  • Fixed PFF from promting password on firefox startup (for masterpassword users)
  • Optional "Powered by Performancing" tag insertion.
  • Better category support for other blogging platforms.
  • Quick File FTP upload (under Performancing in the context menu).
  • Bug fixes for trackbacks.
  • ..and more!

 

ChatZilla 0.9.73

ChatZilla is an IRC across platform messaging client that combines Internet Relay Chat (IRC) with existing web standards like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

The Firefox extension is setup where you don't even need to leave Firefox to start chatting.

ChatZilla is also available in numerous additional languages: Catalan, French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.

 

gTranslate

Have you ever been to a blog where you don't understand anything.

gTranslate takes the web page your viewing, highlight your text you want to translate, and right-click and select Translate.Your translation will appear in the submenu. Slick, Huh?

Quick, down, and dirty. :-) It works beautifully and its another one I'd recommened to Power Surfers.

Again, I want to let future extension developers know that if they are coming out with a new extension and they let me know, I will review it, give my opinion on it, and post it here for everyone to see.

Catch ya L8R. See ya next week.
