Integrated Windows Authentication

The Integrated Windows Authentication can also be used with Firefox. The following settings have to be made:

• Enter about:config in the Firefox address field.
• Accept the warning message that appears.
• Search for the key network.negotiate-auth.
• In the entry network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris the domains of the websites can be entered, where the windows authentication should be used. (Domains are separated by comma.)

I found this solution here.

Personas

As the daily work involves a lot of grey windows, it is nice that you can modify the layout of Firefox with the so called Personas.

At http://www.getpersonas.com/ you can search for a Firefox background image that you like. When you hover with the mouse over a Persona it is tested how it looks like at your Firefox. When you click "add it", then it is applied.

Persona Switcher

There are so many great personas. Why can't we switch between our favorite layouts?

With the Add On Persona Switcher we can do this.

When you go to the settings for the Persona Switcher you can make the following decisions:

• Show the personas in random order, and set the duration how long a persona is shown.
• Show the Persona Switcher menu in the main menu. There it is immediately possible to set a specific persona and to alter the settings again.

SQLite Manager

(Regrettably no longer supported since Firefox 57!)

The SQLite Manager was a great add on to access SQLite databases. It is possible with it to perform queries and make inserts and updates in the sql format.

In the meantime even the link to the old add on is no longer available. But I found a new add on with the same name here, but could not test it yet.

Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus is a great add-on to get rid of nasty commercials while surfing through the net.
