Well, they’re probably not brand new, but they are new to me…
FireFTP
FireFTP is pretty amazing because it gives you a 2-pane ftp client view when you access an ftp site with your browser. This will end up being a huge time saver for me since I frequently need to upload a single file to a site, and having to use a seperate FTP client for that purpose is overkill. Don’t get me wrong, using a proper ftp client has it’s benefits but for small, quick transfers, FireFTP is the right tool for the job.
Tints browser tabs with a color specific to the website loaded. It can pick a random color automatically (based on the site’s hostname), or it can pick a colour based on the site’s tab icon.
I think it’s pretty neat. It adds some colour to the drab grey firefox themes we have no choice but to stare at all day long. Admittedly, I haven’t been able to get it to work. I’m sure it’s because of a conflict with the TabMix Plus extension. REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN I FIX IT, THOUGH.
edit: Yep, it was tabmix.
