Add-ons You Should Downloaded Immediately After Installing Firefox 3 (Release Candidate 3)

Mozilla launched its next generation Firefox browser recently ,the Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3. There are many browsers to choose from IE 7 , Safari ,Opera. But the one I prefer is Firefox. So I updated my Firefox browser by downloading the latest release on my Macbook which has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in it.

DOWNLOAD FIREFOX 3 [Mac] [Windows]

Well I had customized my older Firefox 2.0.0.* with numerous extensions, plugins and themes. I decided to do the same with my Firefox 3. I thought I would update the previous add-ons and there would be no problem.But sadly I discovered most of them were not compatible with Firefox 3 . I think you must have also experienced the same.

So I decided I would search for some useful or better addons that would be compatible with the newer version of Firefox.

But before proceeding I would like to mention some new features that are introduced in Firefox 3.

• Speed and memory usage enhanced
  
• Replacement of older password dialog.
• One-click site info
  
• New Download Manager with resume feature.
• Full page zoom (well in mac os you dont require this)
• Save sessions before Quit.
• Star Button for quick Bookmark
• Better Protection.
  
• Integrates with any OS (windows , Mac , Linux)
