Mozilla firefox is the best web browser in the world with second position.The reasons are
  • Lot of addons
  • Improved security
  • Open various file types with inbuilt plugins
  • Colorful personas to decorate firefox
Everything is ok but what about security from your side in browser.Here I provide 5 best addons to enhance your browser security and take that to next level.

1. Wot: (Worth of trust)
As the name suggests it gives rating to websites by their traffic and users rating.If you open any phishing page it will warn you with a message.After installation of this addon it shows search results of Google and other search engines with three colors red,green and yellow.If the color is red it would be the unpopular website or link.Now you can surf websites without worrying about scams and phishing attacks.

2. No Script:
This is the best tool to secure your browser from useless and risky scripts.It removes all scripts from the webpage in that way it gives no chance to irritating and tempting ads.By using this addon you can choose your websites which are runs without scripts.It comes with don't track opt out feature by default.

3. Bitdefender quick scan:
An online tool runs in the cloud environment and scans your pc to detect malware and completes the test within 60 seconds.It scans for malware in pc by performing quick scan and check for digital hashes of the applications and other critical files.After that it sends these reports to bitdefender server and it analyses that report,give a detailed information about malware detection process.

4. Session manager:
In the time of browsing we install addons and install software on pc.At that time some of the software asks quit your browser to complete installation,if you do that you may lost your work on browser.To overcome this problem session manager addon is the best choice it saves and restores the current windows or some tabs.

5. Adblock plus:
It deals with online ads and block them in a manner.It accepts only static advertisements and if you feel those are also irritating you can block those also by setting filters to that website.Actually no script addon do the same action but it blocks all the scripts in a webpage.So we loss some of the useful content also.In that way adblock plus is better than no script.You can read the detailed article on “how to block ads on firefox” using adblock plus.

Businesses are much more clever now: they see how popular the web and social networking is and often block those sites from employee access. Not only are work places doing this, but so are schools, colleges, even some libraries and churches. If you want to access your social networking profiles, email or blogs from one of these locations, it can be frustrating. At a company that does live chat customer support software that I work for we needed to access our tools from all over the world and it was very difficult. Also we all know that it’s really hard to stay away from these sites for 8-9 hours a day while at work or school; so here are 8 methods you can use to access these blocked sites.

Proxy Servers

Proxies are the most popular method of accessing blocked websites because they can bypass network restrictions. They help protect your privacy by letting you surf anonymously and securely. The connections are encrypted and help to prevent monitoring on your network, so it will never be traced back to you. Best of all they’re very simple to use: enter your URL and check/uncheck a few specifications and you’ll be surfing within seconds.

Examples: Hide My Ass, Proxify, Rocketsurf, Web Proxy, Orkut.pk, BackFox.

Short URL

Sometimes converting the domain you’re trying to access to a short URL might work. More than likely the short URL service will not banned or blocked from your network and you’ll have no problems accessing it. However, if the short URL redirects back to the domain you’re trying to access, then you still won’t be able to access it.

Examples: bit.ly, TinyURL, is.gd, SnipURL.

Google Cache

Most search engines have a cached version of a web page. These are stored versions from the past. What Google does is take a snapshot of each web page and then stores it as a backup. It won’t be the most recent version, but it should be good enough until you can access the actual page later from your own personal computer.
You can access a cached version by clicking on the “cached” link from search results, or using the Google cache search operator (cache:www.domain.com) – where domain.com is the actual blocked domain that you want to access.

Receive by Email

With a services like Web2Mail Lite, you can access any web page right from your email account. To request an instant delivery of any web page, simply send an email to www@web2mail.com. Be sure to enter the URL address of the web page you want to receive in the subject of your message. You’ll usually receive a reply within 5 minutes.

View as a PDF

With PDFmyURL you can view any web page as a PDF file. Just enter the URL and you’ll get an instant document to download. They also have a bookmarklet that you can add to your browser bookmarks bar so that you can easily convert any web page you’re viewing to a PDF file.

Translation Services

Translation services allow you to translate a web page from one language to another, but where the catch comes in is that the translated page is displayed on their own server. You can re-translate any page, even if you don’t need to. You just want the services to fetch the content and display it as a page on their own domain. The downside is that it may not work for all websites and it sometimes strips all of the styling from the page that it translates.

Examples: Google Translate, Yahoo! Babel Fish, SDL FreeTranslation, Tolingo.

Subscribe to RSS Feed

Most websites now support RSS feeds, which is great because you can subscribe to them in a feed reader or by email. This comes in handy because you don’t have to access the actual website in order to view the content (updates, new articles, etc.) There are even some social networks that now support RSS feeds, so you can subscribe to updates from your friends and view them within your reader or by email.

Examples: Google Reader, Feedingo, Bloglines, NewsBlur, FeedMyInbox, FeedBlitz.

Google Mobile Version

You can use Google mobile to access a mobile optimized version of most websites. It displays the normal HTML pages as if you were viewing them on a mobile device and also removes any JavaScript and CSS scripts. It also breaks longer pages into several smaller pages for you.

To get the mobile version of a web page, enter www.google.com/gwt/n?u=domain.com into the address bar – where domain.com is the blocked domain that you want to access. Alternately, you can also use a service like Mowser to get the mobilized version of a web page.
These methods may not work for everyone or for every website; it will take some trial and error to figure out which methods are effective. Just be careful as some of these methods may put you at risk for breaching company regulations.
Everyone has their own preference when it comes to accessing blocked sites. Which method do you prefer?
