Add wings to your Firefox

Firefox has a large number of fans and users with its unique design. This publication has also made related introductions before. However, for the majority of users, Firefox is not so approachable. The downloaded firefox is not very powerful. We need to customize it through the plug-in. We can say that Firefox is used as a plug-in. Below I have selected several classic plug-ins for you and told you about their settings and usage. I hope you can make good use of Firefox and enjoy it!
Tip: to install a plug-in, you can click Install on the relevant web page or drag the downloaded plug-in file to the browser dialog box to start installation.

Tag Management
Although Firefox has a built-in tag browsing function, many people still think it is not as convenient as Maxthon. For example, double-click the tag to close the page and undo the tag, it is not supported by Firefox to restore the last page viewed at startup. TabMix is a stable and fast paging tag browser plug-in. It can customize tag browsing. After installing the plug-in, select "TabMix option" in the "Tools" menu to set pagination browsing (1 ).

Select the "Mouse" tab, click the "column, and select" close current page "in the" double-click a tab "drop-down option to close the page by double-clicking the tab, in fact, there are other operations that can be selected for an action, as needed. It is quite useful for the author to protect the page and to undo the tab group. Because the page is often closed by mistake, many options are displayed when the "menu" tab is selected, you only need to hook up related projects.

Ad Interception
Adblock is a powerful ad filtering plug-in. It is powerful and accurate, and allows users to define their own filter rules. After installing and restarting Firefox, you can see the options about Adblock in the tool menu. First, we use the simplest method to set filtering rules, you only need to right-click an ad image or another image to block and select "block image" when you browse a webpage, for some embedded media, such as flash animation, the translucent Adblock label will appear on the top or bottom of them. You only need to click the Adblock text on the label, the Adblock filter dialog box is displayed to block the current flash animation. At the same time, we can add some wildcard rules to shield web page elements. Click "Adblock preference" to set filtering rules (2 ).

Adblock supports two types of filtering rules: simple expression and regular expression. Simple expression filtering rules are composed of one or more wildcards added to a line of text, for example, enter "*/ad/*" or "*/ads/*" in the filter condition. These rules mean that any URL with the words "ad" and "ads" will be filtered. You can try to write some filtering rules, which is very interesting! However, some advertisements dynamically change the URL, such as automatically adding content based on the daily date, which simply blocks/ad. The use of the regular expression/ad (d) */can accurately block the situation where ad is followed by several numbers. However, regular expression filtering rules are more complex, so we will not introduce them here. Here is an example for you to experience its powerful functions. Add a regular expression filtering rule to the adblock:
/(Wwwd ?. Skycn.com/) (images /. *. gif) | (tuijianimg/) | (js /)((. *. js) | (21cn. *. (htm)/below is the comparison before and after adding, the effect is very obvious (3 ).

Knowledge

Regular Expressions are powerful tools for pattern matching and replacement. It is widely used in Java and other programming languages and various scripting languages. It is powerful but slightly less readable. If you are interested, you can study it further.

Weather display
It is cool to display the real-time weather in your current city in a browser. In fact, you only need to install the forecastfox plug-in. When you install and restart firefox, the preparation dialog box is automatically displayed. Click "Search for code" to take the city of Nanjing as an example, enter "nanjing" and click "Search" to find the corresponding city code. forecastfox supports many Chinese cities, not only provincial capitals, but also weather forecasts for many second-level cities. Enter the city code in the forecast area code. After you confirm, the weather forecast will be displayed! After entering the settings page, you can set a series of parameters such as the location of the weather forecast. Click the custom prompt and tag button. You can add some variables in the dialog box to add new forecast items. A wide variety of variables are listed below the window, for example, "humidity", "Maximum daytime temperature", "minimum nighttime temperature", etc. (4), we can add as needed, you can also add Chinese prompts or punctuation marks between variables to make the display clearer. For example, you can add the following section: "humidity: [hmid], daytime maximum temperature: [hi], minimum Temperature at night: [low] (excluding quotation marks), the content of "humidity", "Maximum daytime temperature", and "minimum nighttime temperature" can be displayed in reality (5 ), in addition, We can insert "/n" where we want to wrap the line to achieve the effect of line feed.

Web page capture
If you like a web page, you generally use "Save as" to save it, right? In fact, this is too troublesome and is not conducive to further sorting. The Troubles of using ScrapBook do not exist. After the installation is complete, the "Capture page" and "Capture page settings" appear in the right-click menu on the webpage. You only need to select the "Capture page" command to save the page, after that, you can view the captured page in the "tool/ScrapBook" option. What should I do if I find the information lost? Click "Tools" in the sidebar and select "Advanced Settings tab". Remove the default options and select a safer folder, in the future, the captured page will be placed in the specified location. Of course, web page capturing is not a whole basket. You can click "Page capturing Settings" to set the page to be saved in detail, for example, in which folder is stored or which link targets are crawled together.

Caller
Some web pages need to be opened or downloaded using specific programs. What should I do? The Launchy plug-in is an auxiliary tool that allows you to right-click and choose to use any external program to open the selected link. It supports almost all of our common applications, such as Maxthon and storm audio and video. After you click "Launchy", it automatically searches for various software installed on the computer and lists them. To call this function, you only need to right-click the connection, select the program to be called in the pop-up menu (6 ). For some special applications. We can also add non-default Supported Applications by writing scripts. This article will not detail the method to be added. If you need it, you can refer to the relevant forum.
