Craigslist Image Preview in Firefox



This tool combines two tools I really like, and makes them easier to use. I shop and sell and recycle on Craigslist. There is a firefox extension that displays the images from with the ads, without having to click on the links. Looking for a bike or a car? Scroll quickly and see what looks like what you are looking for. Simply, but super effective. I used it recently while shopping for a tandem bike, and it worked super well.

Do you do web design? Here are some very helpful webdeveloper extensions.

The Technology Bites blog has a post about Useful Firefox extensions. I've bookmarked several of them for looking at later, but there are three on their list that I've been using for quite some time.

  • Web Developer Toolbar -This extension adds a toolbar to your Firefox menus, with an incredible host of tools available. Simple put, I can't figure out how I got away without it. Try it.
  • FireFTP - FireFTP puts FTP in your firefox browser. Works well, seems quick, simple and easy to use. I've had some small issues using it, I get menus (like right-click menus) that don't get away when they should, but it mostly works.
  • ColorZilla - Is great for figuring our colors. Click the button, hovor over a color you like, and click it. The Color will be picked, and you can send anyone of several color code formats to your clipboard to paste into something else.
