Flashblock

50star.png

Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click ...

Due to the security vulnerabilities constantly being discovered in the Flash Plugin, it is best to have Flash disabled by default with the user having the option to execute a Flash plugin as needed. Adobe Flash is notoriously insecure, with next to no configuration options, and annoying. Take back control of your browser by controlling what Flash programs execute when you visit a web site.

Flash Game Maximizer

Click a button or hit the hot-key to maximize (almost) any Flash content to the entire browser window. You can then enjoy your favorite games in any size you like, simply by resizing the browser window. Now with less bugs and more features...

Particularly useful when watching streamed television events from sites that do not allow flash to full screen, or sites that present the flash window with annoying advertisement overlays.

Java Console

Java Console Extension.

The Java Console extension is not supposed to impact the functionality of Java in Firefox. It just lets you monitor and debug running applets. Unless you're developing a Java applet, you probably have little use for it.

  • Category: Developer
  • Side Effects: The Java Console extension is no longer supported as of JRE 1.6.0.10, this update cleans and removes the Java Console from Firefox 3.6.

NoSquint

Screengrab

It will capture what you can see in the window, the entire page, just a selection, a particular frame... basically it saves webpages as images - either to a file, or to the clipboard. It captures Flash too!
