Having free space lets us work more efficiently. The absence of clutter gives off a neat look which results in us working better. This simple fact is not restricted to our physical work; it also applies to our computer and internet experience. Having more space to work with is just better.
Firefox users can now improve their browser based on the abovementioned fact by using a great Firefox add-on titled Compact Toolbar Buttons. This little add-on decreases the in-between spaces of your toolbar buttons. Here by toolbar buttons, we mean the back, forward, stop, refresh, and home buttons.
Here is how the buttons on our Firefox looked prior to using the add-on:

Usually, people like me (when searching for a particular thing), have to open different links simultaneously to get what we need, so we have to go for the basic process which includes opening them individually. Here’s a firefox addon that saves you some time in doing so. It’s call “Multi Links”, a nifty addon which lets you open, copy or bookmark multiple links at the same time.
All you need to do is, simple right click & hold to drag a box around your required links, when you release, it will automatically open (in a new tab), copy and bookmark those links which is the default option and you can change it to your requirements. You can also fully customize the look of these links through colours, border styles etc.
You can select groups of links in different areas of the page by using the shift or ctrl keyboard keys. This comes in handy if you want to open #1,2,3,4 and 7,8,9,10 in Google missing out #5 & 6 for example. You can either drag a box around them all and then use shift or ctrl to deselect #5 & 6 or select #1,2,3 & 4 and then hold shift or ctrl and draw another box around #7,8,9 & 10.

Being secure, on the web specially is something we all need. There are thousands of risks roaming and getting evolved in shape of different malwares, viruses, file & more. Since these things come via your browser and majority of us use firefox, here are some of the best and useful plugins/add-ons which can help you be safe on the internet.
1- Request Policy
RequestPolicy is an extension for Mozilla browsers that improves the privacy and security of your browsing by giving you control over when cross-site requests are allowed by webpages you visit. It is the first comprehensive client-side protection against CSRF attacks and the first tool to enable the use of modern browsers without cross-site information leakage.
It is compatible with Firefox 3+, SeaMonkey 2.0, Flock 2.0, Songbird 1.0, and Fennec 1.0. It works wherever these browsers do (Linux, BSD, Mac, Windows, etc.).
