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.
