Does anyone else get excited everytime a new firefox add-on comes out? Well, I do and I also know that installing and uninstalling various plugins takes a ton of time… (This is what I do for fun…just kidding) But I do like to look at plugins that increase productivity….

And here are the top 10 best firefox plugins for increasing your productivity..

1. Leechblock : Wasting too much time on twitter? Facebook? Stumble Upon? Leechblock is here to rescue you! Use leechblock to “block” you from visiting these websites during specific times of the day. (Most useful when you’re trying to get work done but just can’t beat the urge to check up what your friends are tweeting about)

2. Meetimer: Are you a serial procrastinator? Need to track where your time is actually going (which btw is a great technique to start taking back control of your time)..This little add on will show you exactly where you’ve ‘been’ all day. Perfect for starters.

3. URL Fixer : Tired of typing goggle.com? google.cmo? gogole.com? URL fixer does exactly what it says and takes care of typos for you.

4. Colorize Tabs: Too many tabs open for research? (or whatever other reason) and just can’t find the one tab you actually need? Spending too much time trying to find the right tab? Here’s your solution — this little add-on will allow you to colorize tabs so you can get back to it in a flash.

5. Tree Style Tabs: Too many tabs taking up too much room? Tired of clicking the more arrow to see all your tabs? Need sub-tabs? Here’s a solution…make your tabs appear like a folder tree. The nice thing is you can change where you see your tabs. You can set them on the sidebar and then choose how much space they take up. Gives you tons of flexibility and allows you to regain some screen space.

6. Evernote Clipper : I don’t think I could live without evernote…and I don’t think I could live without ever note clipper either. Need to save a page to read later? You can either save up the entire page or select portions of it to save, hit the clipper and evernote takes care of the rest. This is digital data capture at it’s best.

7. Greasemonkey: Greasemonkey is an add on that allows you to run several scripts on websites you visit to increase your productivity and efficiency.

8.  No Squint : As some of you already know, I have terrible eyes and that means staring too long and hard on the monitor not only stresses my eyes but also gives me headaches and reduces my productivity. Thankfully, there’s no squint! An easy to use add on to increase font size on per-site basis. And yes, the point is it remembers your preferences for every site..

9. Your Favorite To do List Software’s Widget: Nothing keeps you more motivated than having a list of what you need to do right in front of you when you feel like procrastinating. And, the good news is firefox has addons for a ton of to do list sites like Remember the Milk, Todoist and so many more.

10. Gmail Manager: I’d be running around like crazy without this addon! Gmail Manager allows you to manage multiple gmail accounts easily. It saves me tons and tons and tons of time each and every day and seriously, I can’t imagine life without this little tool! If you have more than one gmail account, use this tool!

That’s it….Do you know of a firefox add-on that should be added to this list? Just leave your comments below and I’ll definitely check it out!

And yeah..do let me know if you liked the post..it took some time compiling (on a friday night too)!
