1) Download Status Bar
No Kidding, If it were not for this smart plug-in, I would become a raving maniac a long time ago. The number of small file downloads I make on a regular basis causes the constant download box pop-ups to turn into a big pain. The Download Status Bar packs all the information you want to see such as download name, speed, and amount completed into a status bar which appears at the bottom of your browser for easy and uninterrupted browsing.

2) Firebug

This plug-in is the ultimate tool for any web developer using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It allows you to edit your web page and view the changes in real time. You can hover over elements in your code and see exactly how your div’s are being positioned and displayed with a highlight tool. Over all it’s other features, my favorite is the ability to edit HTML and CSS for any element in an instant.

3) Xmarks (FoxMarks)

Over the years, I have often lost computers to fatal errors and blue screens. In doing so, I lost all my bookmarks which are essential to my daily work online. This nifty service saves you from ever having that problem. It backs up your bookmarks every time you exit the browser and they are then made available to you online or restore-able to a new computer.

4) DownloadHelper

Ever seen media players in a web-page with no download option? This easy to use plugin tracks actively streaming videos and mp3′s and makes it possible for you to download videos from most popular sharing sites.

5) DownThemAll!

For easy file downloads, this download manager is the first of it’s kind available in Firefox. It makes the job of downloading split files a whole bunch easier without installing extra, spyware ridden software.

Speed hacking is the #1 annoyance among all Halo 2 Vista multiplayer fans. Little do ordinary players know that speed hacking just serves sheer fun, although it [may] pose a large disadvantage. PLEASE do not over use this and USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Experience the PURE FUN in speed hacking by following these steps!

1. Go to http://www.cheatengine.org and download/install the latest version of Cheat Engine
2. Start Halo 2
3. Minimize the game (this is very important). Start Cheat Engine
4. Click on the flashing button at the very top left corner of Cheat Engine
5. Search for the Halo 2 process (halo2.exe)
6. You will see many intimidating settings (hex values, etc.). Don’t worry about those. You will only need the “Enable Speedhack” option, which is located on the right of the Cheat Engine window.
7. Adjust the speed to 5 (I prefer this number. You may play with this setting, but note that a much larger number may yield server lag.)
8. If you wish to reset the speed to normal, do not set the speed to 1. Instead, exit Cheat Engine and restart Halo 2.
—-OR—–
Use a number of 1.5 (closest to normal speed IMO)

Notice that this speed hacking method does not involve altering the settings within the map itself. This method simply speeds up the Halo 2 process so EVERYTHING is sped up (the main menu, melee, reload, etc.)!!!

Good luck and have fun!

Psssst…I would suggest creating a phony Live screen name along with a fake identity!!! And don’t do it too much on the same server or you will really annoy server owners (they could ban your IP forever)!!
