The 1 Firefox Extension I Didn’t Know I Needed

I have been accused, from time to time, of being a Firefox Extension slut. I haven’t found many extensions that I wouldn’t take for at least one ride around the tracks to see if I liked it or not. While most extensions end up annoying me and getting uninstalled, I do still keep a healty list of extensions installed. And I’m always looking for more.

So an article titled “The 25 Firefox Extensions You Didn’t Know You Needed” is barking right up my tree. It’s a good article, too, but what makes it a keeper is one single extension that I never knew existed, let alone knew that I needed it. But oh, how I needed it!

Probably the extension you didn’t realize you needed, Menu Editor allows you to rearrange or remove items from both the main context (right-click) menu and the main menu bar (File, Edit, etc.). Once you have enough extensions installed, you begin to realize that the placement of certain extensions in the menus does not equate convenience with priority or frequency. The result is often a cluttered menubar or context menu that turns browsing into a dexterity test. With Menu Editor, a few minutes of sorting gives you that new-install feel without the loss of any functionality. Neat freaks, rejoice!

This is awesomeness, pure and simple!
