5 best Firefox extensions for productivity

We all want to work less and accomplish more at the office and at home, right?. But staying in the productivity zone can be difficult.  

Firefox is a fantastic browser for productivity, and there are many different add-ons available that can increase your productivity. Here are the top five productivity extensions for Firefox.

1. LastPass Password Manager

LastPass Password Manager is a free password manager that securely stores all your passwords. It automatically fills out login forms for you and even generates strong random passwords. You can use it to store usernames and passwords for websites and email accounts.

LastPass is super-easy to use. You only need to remember your master password, and you can access all your logins from anywhere. You can even generate strong passwords using their random number generator.

Top features:

  • LastPass Authenticator
  • Family Manager Dashboard

2. Adblocker Plus

Adblocker Plus is among the best Firefox extensions for productivity because it blocks annoying ads while still letting you view content from legitimate websites. It’s compatible with both desktop and mobile browsers.

Plus, you can choose to allow some sites to load their content without blocking ads (like ours because our popups are actually super helpful!) and trackers or completely block them.

A filter list is necessary for each Adblock Plus function to work. Filter lists allow you to specify what types of content should not appear in your ad blocker. These filters are applied before any ads are loaded.

If you have no filter lists defined, then the default ones are applied. It works by blocking JavaScript code that loads advertisements. If you’re looking to save money on your data plan, then this extension is for you!
