Grammarly
The Grammarly extension gives you tools that help you write better . It is available for free Grammarly accounts . After you download Grammarly on Firefox , you can turn “ showing definitions and synonyms via double click ( all sites )” on . This option allows you to check simple definitions and synonyms in only two seconds .
The other three options , “ Check for writing suggestions ,” “ Correct spelling automatically ,” and “ Show phrasal predictions ,” are all convenient as well . These tools from Grammarly help you understand and type better online .
Firebug
Firebug is a unique browser extension only for Firefox that allows you to download videos and music from video or music sharing platforms .
If you want to download music , you can go to a music streaming provider like QQ Music . When you open firebug , click on “ network ” at the top of the panel . If you open the file with the largest size and is an mp4 in a new tab , you can save audio as an m4a or an mp4 for videos to your computer .
