Throttle Bandwidth of Firefox and IE

Why would anyone want to throttle the bandwidth of Firefox or Internet Explorer ? That was my first thought when I read about two tiny apps for Firefox and Internet Explorer for the first time at Sizlopedia. I mean, it is normally the other way round. You download some large file or use P2P networks and want to use a browser as well which means that there should be a way to assign a minimum amount of bandwidth for the browser instead of throttling it. Everyone should be capable of not download large files or browsing all those rich entertainment websites if he really needs the bandwidth for something else.

Firefox Extensions that I use

I thought it would be a nice idea to post a list of all Firefox extensions that I’m currently using on my main computer. All extensions work with the latest version of Firefox. To make things more accessible I decided to link directly to the homepages at mozilla that host the extensions.

Extensions are listed alphabetically and contain the mentioned link as well as a short description about the functionality of the extension. Feel free to add extensions that I have not listed at the moment, would love to receive some feedback on extensions that you consider a must have.
