ScribeFire- Internet word processing tool. Makes it easy to create articles, add links and photos. You can save articles in the dashboard and post them later according to your schedule. You can post directly from ScribeFire to Wordpress blogs and many other blog systems.
FoxClocks- A small globe in the lower left side of my browser, that, when I put my cursor over top of it - shows me the time in all the timezones I preset.
Colorzilla- If you ever need to know the color of something as you browse the internet this tool enables you to find the exact HTML code for the color so you can reproduce it in your graphics program. You just hover a crosshairs over the color and the code shows up in the bottom left side of the Firefox browser.
SpeedDial- A matrix of visual links to web pages I use often. Once setup this becomes your home page. You no longer need to type anything in or go to your bookmarks. Your bookmarks are like screenshots right in front of you in a grid. This is highly customizable and one of my favorites of my favorites!
FireFTP- If you use FTP programs at all you'll absolutely LOVE this program. It's free, and it provides an exceptionally stable FTP program within a browser window. Unbelievably cool and easy to use. Full featured.
FireShot- Screenshot program that captures the entire page - regardless how long it is. It has a built in editor so you can edit and save it very quickly for republishing screen captures online.

What Is Your Productivity Cockpit?
Everyone that works online for a substantial part of their daily experience has a productivity cockpit if sorts. Some just use Windows and their computer's desktop environment. There are standalone programs that can accomplish most any task. Is that the most productive and efficient way to go about it? I'm going to propose that there is another way to go about it - and that will make you much more productive. If you haven't already, go and download the latest version of the Firefox browser from Mozilla (.com). This browser is the most important piece of software on my computer - and it's totally free. It has become my productivity cockpit because I really don't have to leave it in order to accomplish nearly everything I must do online each day. Prior to using Firefox I used Microsoft's IE, like most of you have. Once I switched I couldn't believe I'd been going without it for so long. I tried all the other major browsers on the market - Safari, Opera, Chrome, Avant, and Orca. Firefox is much more than a browser. First off, it's open-source. Which means that any competent developer can create plugins that add functionality to the browser. Nearly all the plugins are free - with some developers asking for donations to support the ongoing development of the plugins so they can work with upgraded versions of Firefox as new ones are released. With all these plugins turning Firefox into so many different things - I rarely leave the browser at all. For compositing this article I'm using the ScribeFire plugin - it's a word processing plugin that makes adding photos, links, and other content to internet articles easy. There are FTP programs (FireFTP), Screen capture programs (FireShot), Color pickers so I don't have to look through code to figure out what color is I see in the browser (Colorzilla), a world clock plugin (Fox Clocks), an easy links system to websites I visit often (SpeedDial) and many more that I use daily. Here is a short description for each of my favorite plugins I use with Firefox. There are thousands of plugins to choose from, and no doubt I'm missing some that could make my life online even easier. You must try Firefox if you haven't already... These are free plugins you can install simply by going to the "add-ons" link. My favorite Firefox Plugins:ScribeFire- Internet word processing tool.
