FireFox extensions

What FireFox extensions do you use?
  • Adblock Plus + Filterset.G - Browse the Interent virtually Ad free, well almost.
  • NoScript - Another indispensable extension. This is another great anti-popup/ad mechanism as you can only allow scripts from the current site and disallow all others by default.
  • Fasterfox - Use for loading pages faster, killing servers, the usual.
  • TabBrowser Preferences - Makes so if you click a link it opens a new tab rather then a new window.
  • Tab Saver! - Nice if FireFoxe happens to crash and you don't lose anything.
  • Tab Mix Plus - The "undo closed tab" option is nice since I often accidentally close a wrong tab or something. When I'm working with a lot of tabs also, this helps them stay alot better organised.
  • I.E. Tab - Use ONLY when FireFoxe doesn't display a site correctly and thats rarly.
  • DownThemAll - A great download extension that allows on to queue files and links to files from a site then download them at once. Also downloads files in smaller chunks, resulting in increased download rate for quite few sites.
  • Imageshack Right-Click - Right click on any image I see in a webpage and transload it to imageshack. Very useful and I use it pretty much daily.
  • Forcastfox - I like to know the weather two days in advance and can't ever watch the weather on tv.
  • Minimize to tray - Needs no explanation ...
  • Siteadvisor - Make sure a site is safe and such, not really needed and might be uninstalled.

Ironically, I.E Tab crashes Firefox on me, so I uninstalled it.

I use the following:
  • Save Image in Folder
  • Save Link in Folder
  • All in One Gestures - Enhanced navigation.
  • ReloadEvery - Reloads selected tab automatically.
  • phpBB User Hide - Comes in handy on the older forums.
  • NoScript
  • Fasterfox
  • Video Downloader - One-click download of streaming video from popular sites.
  • DownThemAll
  • Tab Mix Plus
  • Foxytunes - Winamp controls in Firefox.
  • Session Manager - Restores last session.
  • Gmail Notifier - Small popup on new message.
  • Mouseless Browsing - Use keyboard shortcuts to select links, forms, and images.



    (DownThemAll is good for a long string of repetitive downloads to a single folder, Save Image/Link is good for a few, organized downloads in multiple folders.)
 
Siteadvisor- Never hurts to make sure.....

Adblock- Popup and adblocker.

Noscript- Blocks ads, popups, javascript, etc.

blocksite- If i find a bug on the comp, i'll ad the source its coming from here first.

Extended Cookie manager- For those dang 3rd party/tracking cookies....
 
AdBlock + Filterset.G
Tab Mix Plus

I also like to use the 4chan, Video Downloader, DownThemAll, and Styles extensions, but I keep my extension thing minimal because FireFox is bloated and leaky enough already. Sad but true. :(
