This is a Mac only extension to Firefox that allows you to view PDF documents directly within the browser. This is similar to the functionality that Adobe PDF Viewer adds on the PC but does not require an additional application installation.
Once installed this add-on will make any links to PDF files display just like any other webpage in Firefox. This means that you don't have to open Preview or another PDF reader to look at the files. This also save you from having a load of unnecessary files in your downloads folder.
The add-on is very fast and once a page is loaded there are options for you to adjust the zoom, number of pages displayed and also for saving and printing the document.

Adblock Plus - Ad Content Blocker for Firefox
As the title may suggest this is a great content blocker add-on for Firefox. The add-on sits silently in the corner of your browser and unobtrusively filters ad content from all pages visited. The content removed is based upon a compiled list you select when installing it.
At any time you turn it off, view the filtered content and add unfiltered content to your blocked list such as images and flash elements. The best thing about this add-on is that it works really well and simplifies a lot of ad heavy pages.
I have tried a few ad-blockers but this is the easiest to install, set-up and use and works the best.

Sage-Too - Lightweight RSS Reader for Firefox
I have searched for a while now to find a light-weight, neat and simple RSS reader and have tried many that didn't suit my needs. Then I found Sage-Too.
This is a great add-in for Firefox that sits in a sidebar, not taking up too much space. You can set the update frequency of the feeds, the feed folder and how feeds open when clicked on.
What I like about this RSS reader over others is its simplicity and unobtrusiveness. It's automatically there when I open my browser (Firefox naturally) and will discretely notify me if new atricles have been published by a change in the feed's title icon. When clicking on a feed title I can see a list of atricle titles, unread ones in bold, and hovering over them will give me a longer description of the content so I can easily decide whether to view it or not.
You can organise your feeds using Firefox's bookmark manager if you prefer and even create custom subfolders to group similar feeds.
Check it out, it may be just the RSS solution you have been searching for.
