Fireday Review: FireFTP
Use FireFTP to carry around a lighter FTP application...WITHIN Firefox.
After using an FTP client for a while, it just seems like another application that I didn't feel like carrying around on a USB drive.
However, at 135k, FireFTP provides all of the features of a fully loaded FTP client with a small file size.

Fireday Review: CruiseControl Build Monitor
This week's review is strictly for enterprise team developers.
If you work on a team in a company, you no doubt have heard of CruiseControl at one time or another. Most companies that are serious about team development use some type of source control system and CruiseControl.
This week, I found a cool extension that adds the full functionality of CruiseControl into a statusbar notifier.
So let's get into the review, shall we?
Fireday Review: ColorZilla

Check out this weeks review of Domain Lookup
Umm...it's a little addicting. I had to use it to review it, right?
It makes registering domain names a little too easy and I got in trouble using it this week. :-)
Fireday Review: FEBE
An exceptional Backup/Restore extension for Firefox users!
Moving from one computer to another has some disadvantages...like remembering all of your extensions that you use on a daily basis.
This week, I review FEBE, the Firefox Environment Backup Extension. And when I say backup, I mean, Back-Up!
FEBE doesn't just back up and restore your extensions...it backs up and restores all of your user settings. You name it, it backs it up...and restores from the common .XPI file.
Fireday Review: MenuEditor
Do you use every single menu item on your Firefox pulldown menu?
As you start using Firefox more and more, you'll notice some of your commands aren't used as much or you resort to keyboard shortcuts.
So why keep some of the unused commands on your pulldown menu?
This week's review of the MenuEditor extension allows you to "cut & paste" menu items from your pulldown menu.

Fireday Review: Read it Later!
In Firefox, tabs get a little too unruly. Use this extension to keep a reading list of your favorite posts.
If you've always wanted a way to mark specific posts or articles for viewing later (when you have the time) instead of using tabs, this week's extension called Read It Later! has a lot of great features geared towards a blogger or professional surfer.
Fireday Review: gDocs Bar
Looking for a way to take your existing MS Office documents and conveniently edit them online?
If you work with MS Office documents remotely, then Google Documents is probably on your list of frequently visited web sites.
Then, this week's Firefox extension review explains how the gDocs Bar can be right at your side...(actually, sidebar) while on the road.
Fireday Review: AdSense Preview
SEO's and Webmasters will find this extension to be very helpful when analyzing ads on a web page.
The AdSense Preview extension allows webmasters and SEOs to actually see what results AdSense produces...without the fear of being banned by clicking on the ads.
Check out the AdSense Preview extension review here.
Fireday Review: Selenium IDE
Realize the bugs in your web application with the Selenium IDE...within your browser.
Who would've thought that a full IDE could be hidden in an extension?

Enjoy the review!
