PDF Download solves PDF nightmares for Firefox

PDF Download solves PDF nightmares for Firefox

 Most of the content driven websites like hardware reviews, tutorials and support sites features PDF version of the articles. When ever you click on any pdf link most probably Adobe’s Acrobat Reader will run inside Firefox which does all sorts of crazy things with it. What about downloading the pdf rather then letting Acrobat reader open it.

PDF Download solves the problems everyone has about handling PDF files with Firefox. With this extension, each time you click on a link, it checks the link for any pdf file and in this case let you choose what you want to do. You can either open pdf file inside or outside Firefox, or download it to the file system or view it as HTML.

Note PDF Download is not a PDF plugin, you’ll still need to have Adobe or the FoxIt PDF plugin if you want to open a PDF inside Firefox.

Largest Digg Tools Collection

 As you would know Digg is a community-based popularity website with an emphasis on technology and science articles, with recent expansion to broader topics ranging from politics, entertainments, photos etc.

Most of us who have got to the frontpage have experience the “Digg effect” resulting in crashed servers, and fuming diggers. Well i would love to share all the digg tools that I have found across the web.

Official Digg Tools

  • Digg Arc – displays stories, topics, and containers wrapped around a sphere.
  • Digg BigSpy – places stories at the top of the screen as they are dugg. As new stories are dugg, older stories move down the list.
  • Digg Stack – shows diggs occuring in real time on up to 100 stories at once.
  • Digg Swarm – draws a circle for stories as they’re dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow.
