I would like to make a list of the best firefox extensions. These are the ones I use and personally they are amazing.
Bug Me Not (best extension ever) Fasterfox Forecastfox StumbleUpon Gmail Manager IE tab (this allowed me to never open ie even when I need to view a site designed for ie!) Trashmail.net (only needed when bug me not fails) Image Zoom Firefox Showcase (highly recommended) keyconfig Dummy Lipsum (great for web designers) Printable Sparknotes (great for students who don't like to read books) Those are the best extensions I use. What should I add to this list. I am also Thinking about making this topic a poll once I have entries from you guys. |

I used gmail notifier for a while, but then I found gmail manager, and it is much better!

I had more Firefox favorites before the last Firefox upgrade but here are my current favorites that I've not seen already mentioned in this thread:
DOM Inspector View Formatted Source Blog This Image Zoom Google Toolbar I am really hoping that they come up with an upgrade for my Roboform toolbar soon. I really miss it. I also really liked the Edit CSS extension as it is a great help when you are just learning CSS. You could edit your CSS file for the page and watch it change right before your eyes. Anxiously awaiting an update for this handy extension. |

Currently I mostly just use Forecast Fox, gmail notifier, bugmenot, tab clicking options (lets you choose different tab options based on actions), and I have a couple at home for making better formatting for html source/css viewing but I forget their names... I used to use tonnes of extensions but I've toned it down alot since then... I always just ended up getting pissed every time they update FF and my extensions broke for awhile
Edit - I forgot, here I use "Beer o'clock" as well haha. Just a fun little extension that, as you get closer to beer oclock (the end of the day on friday usually) it pops up funny little messages like "5 errors to find until beer oclock!". Its pointless but fun hehe |

I am not a frequent Firefox user, because I prefer Opera, but I like Firefox for some Extensions it offer and also use it to test my pages and etc. So here is what Extensions I m using.
HTML Validator - To validate my html files fast and easy Web Developer - The best thing, I use it a lot Edit CSS - I like to see in real time my pages when I edit css Show IP GMail Manager ColorZilla IE View - Useful, when I want to look how the site look in IE Session Saver - Very needed for me, I usually have lots of tabs opened Tabbrowser Preferences gTranslate Faster Fox User Agent Switcher - Need it sometimes Customize Google - Cool thing, I use Google a lot Disable Targets for Downloads - I hate to close those blank tabs/windows DOM Inspector Tab X - Comfortable to close a tab Forecast Fox - Cool Image Zoom - Cool PDF Download - I usually want to have the PDFs in my HDD Adblock - No comment But when Firefox was my primary browser, I used some more. I remember an Extension, which used to get back to the Tab I was before after closing some, but so much various extensions are available, I did not find it, but I didn't really search as mad. |

Ah yes, Firefox extensions — the one thing that puts Firefox above all other browsers. I've got a lot of them installed, so I'll just list them down. It's up to you to check them out at Mozilla's website for the details, though the extension's name should give you a clue on what they do. =^^=
I'll even throw in the themes and plugins I have. =^^= Extensions (enabled: 27, disabled: 0; total: 27)
Themes (2)

I'm wondering if the guys who developed Remove It Permanently (RIP) will come out with an updated version for the new FireFox release. I really miss being able to cut out (permanently) elements that I don't ever want to see on Web sites.
AdBlock's a good extension too, but it doesn't let me kill nearly as much as RIP did. |
