Open docx diles With Firefox

The docx file extension is the new format of Microsoft Word 2007. If you do not have Microsoft Word 2007 on your computer and wish to open a docx file, the new Firefox extension from Microsoft should help.

The plugin is called OpenXML viewer. After installing the plugin, you will be able to read docx file just like a HTML webpage from Firefox.

Blocking Ads with Adblock Plus FireFox Plugin

One of the main reason that I love Firefox is because of all the plugins that are available out there for free. Here's another Firefox plugin that I find really useful -- the Adblock Plus.

"Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them. Right-click on a banner and choose “Adblock” from the context menu — the banner won’t be downloaded again."

Unless you like reading ads, or I would recommend you to install this plugin right away and get rid of all the annoying ads!

Play Online Flash Game in Full Screen with Flash Game Maximizer Plugin

If you are like me who like to waste time on online flash game, I would like to recommend this Firefox plugin to you -- the Flash Game Maximizer.


Here's what the plugin does:

"Click a button or hotkey to reload Flash content in the entire browser window. You can then resize the window (and the Flash content along with it) as you like, including playing your favourite games in true full-screen mode."

I have tried the plugin myself.. works great!

Viewing 2 Web Page In One Browser Tab

Sometimes when surfing the Internet, you might want to see two web page at once, i.e referring to an article while writing an email, or online resume. Instead of flipping back and forth between two browser tabs, you can display 2 both on the same tab, side by side.

For FireFox, there's plugin called Split Browser which can help you to get this done easily. For Google Chrome, this can be done as well even without plugin. Use this Javascript bookmarklet called Google Chrome Dual View. Just drag the bookmarklet to your bookmark toolbar and when you hit the button Google Chrome will ask you to input two web addresses. It will then open them up side by side in a single browser tab.
