Cool Add-ons for Firefox and Chrome - DictionaryTip, Tab Mix Plus

[Abstract Thinker]

DictionaryTip lets you double-click a word, and then right-click it for a pop-up definition.

Really easy to use. I use it every day.

Dictionary Tooltip

The Firefox link is in the upper-right. It's hard to find at first.

Edit: here's another one: Tab Mix Plus

Details can be found a few posts down.

That is pretty cool, looks handy so I installed it. I use rikaichan a lot. Just mouse over for the kanji meanings.

Abother one: Tab Mix Plus

Glad you all like the dictionary add on. Here's another one -- the one I can't do without:

Tab Mix Plus

It makes FF's tabbed browsing what it should have been out of the box. It completely rewrites the tabs behavior and:

- lets you have multiple rows of tabs
- lets you duplicate tabs or move them to a new window. I use this to build a window of tabs on a topic I might be researching
- lets you save windows (sessions) of tabs you use for specific tasks and you can recall them instantly (one window for bill pay, another for research, another for fun, etc.)
- has a long undo list of closed tabs -- right-click in the tab bar and look for "Closed Tabs List" -- very useful if you close a tab and want to get back to it
- always remembers the tabs from your last two sessions
- much more

Look for "Tab Mix Plus Options" and "Session Manager" in the Tools menu.

Enjoy.

Classic & simple : "morning coffee". Opens up your favorite pages in tabs with or without a cup of coffee.
