My must have Firefox addons


  • Australian English dictionary: Hey, I'm in Australia right now, why would I have a New Zealand English dictionary?
  • Firebug: For all your web application debugging needs
  • FireGestures: Going back and forwards is just a left and right swipe away, and flicking between tabs is as simple as a quick "left mouse click, right mouse click", and vice versa to flick the other way
  • GreaseMonkey: When the formatting of a site is nearly "just right" and needs that slight tweaking, or when auto-complete for login fields just doesn't work
  • Personal Menu: Gives me the option of hiding the menu bar (and quickly making it visible with the alt key)
  • Session Manager: The ability to restore accidentally closed tabs / windows, and also remember entire browsing sessions (for those times when I need to restart FireFox but don't want to lose all my windows)
  • Tabs Open Relative: When opening a link in a new window, opening the tab to the right of the existing tab instead of right at the very end of the tab list

About Me

My photo
Melbourne, VIC, Australia
Jerrold is a recently migrated Melbourne based software engineer with roughly 5 years experience developing in Java and the web technology stack (HTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript, etc). More recently, he's started developing in Python (well, Jython, but close enough) and is unsure if it's flaws outweigh its advantages of having a more sugary syntax. He is currently working at a small South Melbourne based company which specialises in sales incentive management / reporting software, and is being schooled in the finer points of small company operations.
