Nice Translator Firefox Extension is in my opinion one of the best translation tool there is.
Whenever i need to have something translated, i just visit nicetranslator.com, but this extension makes it a lot easier by just highlighting the text on a page, right click on it and then i can “nicely translate it” into one or multiple languages.

Download video and mp3 from youtube with Greasemonkey script
Jan 31st
I just stumbled into a very cool Greasemonkey script called YouTubeHD Download Mp3 and Video.
The script does exactly what it says: downloads mp3’s and videos without the need of a software or extra Firefox extensions.
I’ve tested it myself and it works perfect.
Click on the image to enlarge.
If you don’t have Greasemonkey, you can downloaded from here.
You can then install the script above.
Extra: another great script for Youtube videos is YouTube HQ + 720p, which will automatically force your YouTube videos into high quality.
Enjoy them!
