How to download & convert audio & video from most media sites in one simple step.

I love the power of firefox. It allows you to do things quickly and easily for free that in the past took expensive and complicated software to accomplish the same task. Take video downloading for example. In the old days it was often necessary to download an separate application to accomplish this task. If the software was free, you were bombarded with ads. And once the video you were looking for was downloaded, if you were even able to accomplish this task with the given software being used, you were many times still left with the task of converting it to a format that was usable or editable to you. Not any more. Downloadhelper is another add-on that I have recently discovered, which, once installed, will allow you to perform all of those same task in one function for free and with no ads. Amazing! Watch the following video to see how to install and view a demonstration on how it works:

Block all Ads (including Facebook) and Secure your PC

I have resolved to keep my social sites updated with sticky content. On at least a weekly basis I will be updating my blog with new articles and helpful content. Here’s what I’ve got this week:

Adblock Plus. Most users of Firefox should be fairly familiar with Adblock Plus but if you are not yet a Firefox user, you need to start now. It is simply a better browser with a better browsing experience. http://www.getfirefox.com

One of the nice features of Firefox is the ability to add on extensions which help you to customize your browsing experience. One such extension that I’ve used for a long time is called AdBlock Plus. Google it. This particular extension allows you to block all ads that you come across on the Internet. Blocking ads is particularly helpful for several reasons:

1) Save space. No longer will your window be cluttered with useless ad information. By installing this ext. you will now only see the content that you really want to see.
2) Save bandwidth. Ads take up a lot of bandwidth causing much slower page load times.
3) Protect your kids. Let’s face it, some ads are just not appropriate, even on Facebook.
4) Protect your PC. Ads are not always as they seem. Some come packaged with viruses and spyware.
