When using Firefox - or any web browser for that matter - one of the best practices you can develop is to always be mindful of your privacy and security. You never know when someone could be snooping on you or intercepting your data. Indeed, being vigilant about this could mean the difference between a blissful browsing experience and maliciously stolen accounts. Encryption is great but there are other considerations you need to make.

If you've ever done any sort of web management, then you've probably used FTP at some point or another. Most web hosts will have a primitive file uploader than you can use straight from your browser, but those are often a pain in the butt to use. The truly powerful FTP clients tend to be desktop-only, but FireFTP is a client that plugs into Firefox and makes the whole process easy. What is FTP?

I don’t know about you, but I still use browser bookmarks on a daily basis. There are people out there who claim that browser bookmarks have become obsolete with the advent of online bookmarking, social bookmarking, speed dials, and features like that. Well, that might be true and maybe I’m stuck in the past, but I still love my Firefox bookmarks. If you’re like me, you don’t really need much more than the basic feature set of the native Firefox bookmarks.

What's a safe way to find new websites you're going to like? Based on websites you already like, of course. That's what SimilarSites for Firefox does, and apparently it does it well enough to be featured on our list of Best Firefox Addons. But I'm here to take a closer look and see just how it performs in real life. To test it out, I am going to try it out on a number of websites I like and see if it comes up with interesting results.

Poor web design can really put a damper on your web browsing. Ever been to a website with a jet black background and neon font colors with flashing banner ads all over the place? Good luck trying to read that. But even properly designed websites can be hard to read thanks to intrusive ads or overall clutter. With Readability, you can bypass all of that.

When you stop and think about it for a moment, what the address bar does most of the time is… nothing. I mean, it just sits there, displaying the current tab's URL in the plainest, most utilitarian way possible. Is there some way to make the address bar useful even when you're not typing stuff into it? Location Bar Enhancer for Firefox is an addon that tries to do just that.

There's a reason the new Chromebook Pixel, an expensive high-end machine, uses a 3:4 aspect ratio rather than widescreen 16:9. It's because the Web is vertical. Webpages scroll up and down, but most of us have widescreen machine these days. As a result, most websites have generously proportioned margins – basically, just wide swaths of blank background, showing nothing. Sometimes that's nice, but sometimes you might want to use all of those pixels more productively.

I'm not easily impressed with add-ons, but All-in-One Sidebar is an excellent addition to anyone's Firefox browser. Yes, you shouldn't install too many browser extensions, but AiOS can easily replace several you're already using, and comes with so many different functions. All-in-One Sidebar is much more than a toolbar, making Firefox's most overlooked feature - the sidebar - actually useful.

Track the sites that are tracking you. Collusion is a free extension for Firefox that records every time you're tracked online, so you can see who is tracking you and try to work out why. The Mozilla Foundation says the extension is intended to help teach users about online tracking. "Not all tracking is bad," says Collusion's site at Mozilla.org "but most tracking happens without users' consent and without their knowledge".

Ciphers have been used throughout history to maintain secrecy and security for sensitive pieces of data. Instead of leaving important information out in the open and available to anyone for reading, these ciphers kept knowledge and messages locked away behind puzzles. At one time, those ciphers may have been simple, but now we have extremely powerful forms of encryption. Think about all of the sensitive data you transmit on a day-to-day basis through your browser.
