I decided that since I love Firefox and all, I’ll write about addons that I find particularly helpful. So, the addon of the moment is… Link Alert! What LA basically acts as a warning addon; whenever you mouseover a link, if it is a download link, it will show the icon of the file, like .zip, .mp3, .jpg, etc. It can also show you if the link wants to open a new window on you, or if you are about to enter a secure site (https://). I find it very useful whenever I go on downloading sprees (something I do often, actually) and need to know the filetype, so that I don’t get jipped with a crazy filetype.
