Two Firefox addons that can save you a great amount of time

November 22nd, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Firefox

Tired of clicking those next page & previous page links on web pages?

Save a great amount of time by simply installing one of this add-ons and it will auto load you the next page just under the current page your viewing. This works on almost all of the popular websites like google, yahoo, facebook, digg, blogger, wordpress etc.

There are two popular addons that allow this feature in firefox.

1. AutoPager 2. FastestFox

I personally recommend you to start with the FastestFox addon which i found bit faster and smoother than the Autopager. Further i noticed, FastestFox supports great number of sites than AutoPager does. For example, I did not see autopager works with flickr or wordpress. But fastestfox does it in smart fashion.

* Do not use both addons at once. It might make conflicts and may cause slow loadings.

Here are the description of each.

1. AutoPager

AutoPager, as the name implies is a dedicated addon to auto load the next page under the current page your viewing in a website. For example, take a look at a google search result, which will contain lots of pages. So you have to keep click on the next previous links or on the numbers to visit other pages. With auto pager this process made really easy.

AutoPager Publisher Description

AutoPager automatically loads next pages when you reach the end of a page. It works on a ton of sites,Google,Yahoo..

As i stated above, basically this addon works with many populer websites by default. But if a site does not supported by this addon that you often visit, then you have the option to ad that site through the AutoPager configuration sidebar. Go to Tools > AutoPager> Site Wizard. Unfortunately the configuration method is not that user friendly (if i am correct), you have to learn a new language called xPath (XML Path Language) to ad new websites that you want the Auto Load support.

Install Now !

2. FastestFox

FastestFox is a powerful addon that implements the auto next page loading feature as part of the program only unlike the AutoPager which is a dedicated addon for this purpose.

Publisher Description

Save time by speeding up repetitive tasks. Get faster, parallelized downloads, auto-loading of next page, improved searching, and more. FastestFox will dramatically enhance your productivity!
