Favorite Firefox Extensions?

Posted by Cliff on from the customize-your-browser dept.

vwjeff asks: "Extensions are perhaps the greatest feature of Firefox. On my Firefox install, I use Foxy Tunes, AdBlock, IE View, Mouse Gestures, and Forecast Fox. What extensions do you use on your Firefox install? (assuming you use Firefox, of course)"

  1. IE View makes me barf. by NoMoreNicksLeft · · Score: 0, Troll

    My favorites are:

    1. Greasemonkey
    2. Download Statusbar (which should be the default download manager, imo)
    3. Favicon Picker (though I can't find a decent 16x16 dilbert icon to save my life, and what's the point of using the generic one which the bookmarks bar never seems to keep? Gotta love just dropping the text, I can fit 50 icons across the front.)

    Extension Developer and DOM Inspector are also important. And Adblock/Flashblock are indispensable. Also loved Session Saver, until it broken in deerpark.

    If the price for extensions is memory leaks and frequent crashes, I'm perfectly happy with my Standard Browsing Experience.
