womble -> Useful Firefox extensions (12/25/2006 12:20:10)
|
Having ended up totally uninstalling Firefox after having problems with the recent 2.0.0.1 upgrade, I ended up reinstalling from scrtach and of course reinstalling all my favourite extensions, which gave me the chance to ditch the ones I never used, but in the process I also discovered a couple of new ones I think are going to be very useful.
Broadband Speed Test and Diagnostics - as the name suggests, allows you to test your broadband speed and perform diagnostic tests.
quote:
This extension adds an item called 'Broadband Speed Test and Diagnostics' to the Tools Menu in FireFox.
It performs the following tasks:
- Display your public IP address and your public domain name
- Perform download and upload speed tests
If you have troubles with your broadband connection, it can:
- Troubleshoot and isolate problems by performing a couple of diagnostic tests (NIC card, local gateway, DHCP server, DNS server, web site)
- Display local IP configurations (private IP address, MAC address, default gateway, DNS server, DHCP server, routing table, ARP table, active connections)
Very nice! [:)]
Load Time Analyser allows you to measure and graph how long a page takes to load in Firefox.
Domain Details, with a right click of the mouse can find you loads of information, including WHOIS information, on the site you're on.
quote:
Find the whois information, IP Address and other information, including Search Engine stats and server information, on the site you are visiting.
The extension can also find a visual map of the location of a site's server.
