Internet is full of information and then there is multiple times of junk over here as well. Firefox allows you to make certain customizations which help retrieve the information you seek with being annoyed by the distractions like ads or flash videos. Some of the popular Firefox extensions which let you concentrate on the important information are:

AdBlock Plus: This extension is an advertiser’s and publishers nightmare come true. It allows readers to block ads altogether leaving you with just the content you need. I mentioned AdBlock Plus and not AdBlock because it is more advanced in tracking ads and thus is more potent.

Flashblock works on same lines as well. It block those annoying flash videos from starting once you open a webpage which has flash content. Youtube videos won’t start on its own after installing this add-on.

BlockSite can solve help you if you want to block certain websites. This extension goes a step beyond in blocking the hyperlinks of those websites too. It can not be used for parental control though because it is not password protected.

GMail Ad Blocker: Firefox extensions like AdBlock Plus can’t really block the contextual ads in Gmail. This extension can let you do that.

ProCon Latte is a filter which can block content of any type you put in blacklist. You can block websites of gambling or porn by using this extension. It can be used for parental control because of password protection support.
