FlashGot

Tired of "saving as..." one by one all those movies, music files, pictures, programs, and so on? Are you afraid of losing them in the middle of download if you get disconnected or close your browser, being forced to repeat all that tedious work? This latest version of FlashGot will make sure none of that happens. Easily one of the best download managers available today.


You can get more info on this extension from its homepage and you can download it from this link.

Picture This

A word is worth a thousand images as you will see when you highlight a word or words on a page. Use PictureThis to see what Google Images sees. It's a whole new way of adding instant context to the web.

Ability to match on large, medium, or small images

There are a hell lot of extensions available for Firefox. You guys have listed some good ones but some really good and important extensions are missing. Example: Adblock Plus, FireFTP, Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer, Foxytunes, IE Tab & Link Alert. I know all extensions can not be covered but these are really important ones.

Hello techtree staff. I am a regular visitor of your site. I have noticed that recently all of your desktop screenshots have a nice cool black theme. Would you please tell me the name of this theme and from where to get it? ThankYou. I would also be grateful to any other reader if he/she could provide me with the name of a nice black color theme for Win XP.
