When looking at your basic FTP file listing in a browser, it can be a ‘bit on the dull and boring side. Why not spice that up with a custom user style? If you have Stylish for Firefox installed - and pick up the “FTP pages were awful” style you could even make them look this pretty…
No more ugly black and white boring listings for me, I like this much better. Not only does it look better but it is also much more functional too.

When it comes to downloading files, I like the default Firefox download manager. Sometimes though I am looking for a little more power when it comes to downloading things from the Web.
If you yourself want to become a master downloader - here are the extensions you need to have in your browser’s tool belt.
- Download Statusbar - This extension puts your current downloads in the status bar (or right above it) so you don’t have to worry about the default Firefox download manager popping up without warning and throwing off your current browsing.
- FlashGot - Download one link, selected links or all the links of a page together at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular, lightweight and reliable external download managers.
- PDF Download - PDF downloads need more control! This neat extension allows to choose if you want to view a PDF file inside the browser (as PDF or HTML), if you want to view it outside Firefox with your default or custom PDF reader, or if you want to download it!
- FireFTP - If you need a good FTP client extention that brings that FTP functionality right to the browser, look no further than FireFTP. Along with transferring your files quickly and efficiently, FireFTP also includes more advanced features such as: directory comparison, syncing directories while navigating, SSL encryption, search/filtering, integrity checks, remote editing, drag & drop, file hashing, and much more!
- Fast Video Download - My personal favorite of the “download that flash video” series or extentions that are out there right now. Download video from: Angry Alien, Anime Episodes, Anime Forever, Bad Jojo, Blip.TV, Bo-Funk, Bolt, Break.com, Bubblare.dk, CollegeHumor.com, Current.TV, Daily Motion, Danerd.com, eVideo Share, Google Video, Grinvi, iFilm, Libero.IT Video, HI5 (VideoEgg), My Space, MetaCafe, News.NTV.ru, PornoTube, Put File, Streetfire, Totally Crap, You Tube, V-Social and Vidiac.
So what do you think deserves to be number six on this list?
