addons-title



Firefox extensions are one of the reasons why many people opt for it.
This article is about few firefox extensions i found really interesting and why they are interesting.

-Gmail space:Everthought of an online storage drive other than rapidshare or megaupload.Well many will say that g-mail is a good option.But i can assure that there aren't many whose first thoughts are g-mail.May be this is because the other options are more easy to use.But now we can't complain about the easiness because the
task of a personal sharing space is only at the reach of a free firefox extension.G-mail space or G-space lets you use your g-mail space of nearly 3gb which one is never going to require,unless he recieves thousands of emails daily,as a personal storing and sharing space.Its interface is like a FTP window.One smart use of this service will be to use this to create a backup for your windows drive or your favourite multimedia drive.You can also listen or preview the multmedia content in g-mail space.You can even back up your system without spending a single byte from your pc harddisk.
