 		5 Mandatory ARG Firefox Extensions
Hello all.

Just wanted to post a few extremely useful extensions to the popular web browser Firefox ( many consider this the only viable web browser around Wink ) that are very helpful when participating in the world of Alternate Reality Games.

1. All-In-One Sidebar ( http://firefox.exxile.net/index.php )
-Very handy to keep organized. Doesn't conflict with the Unfiction sidebar, either.

2. Gmail Manager ( http://www.longfocus.com/firefox/gmanager/ )
-Have multiple GMail accounts for ARG purposes? Log in to all of them to check mail at once without having to log in on the site.

3. IE Tab ( http://ietab.mozdev.org/ )
-On an site that just isn't rendering correctly with Firefox? Simply pop open a new tab and change the engine with a single click. Internet Explorer access without having to open it up.

4. Image Zoom ( http://imagezoom.yellowgorilla.net/ )
-This one is a godsend. Need to look really closely at a certain puzzle/document? Triple click and select your level of zoom, or simply hold down the right mouse button and zoom with a scroll wheel to find all of those subtle clues in an image or text.

5. MyStickies ( http://www.mystickies.com/ )
-Virtual sticky notes that stay where you put them. Need to come back to finish reading a text but have to go AFK for now? Create a sticky, smack it where you were. You can even write on them!

Honorable Mention:
StumbleUpon ( http://www.stumbleupon.com )
-Simply install, select topics that you like, and then click a tiny button to be randomly linked to an interesting site. Maybe you'll stumble upon an upcoming ARG!

Thanks for reading, and if you have any extensions you think should be added to the list, tell us! Smile

 		7. Image Zoom- That puzzle image have a small hidden image? Check by zooming to great detail.

8. Session Saver Working for hours on the latest puzzle, but accidently close the window? No worries, The next time you start up Firefox the page will skip over home to the last page (or pages, with tabs) visited. Not recommended for computers with multiple users.

9. Dictionary Tooltip Reading up on the latest ARG updates and don't understand a word? With this tool, double clicking the word will open up another window with the definition. Efficient!

These are all tools that should help any ARGists.

EDIT: What's up with the unworking BBC?

EDIT2: Thanks Cather and Colin
