I have been using FireFox for some time now and there are a lot of useful extensions for the browser but I fond a lot of useless one also. Which extensions do you like?

My favorite are:
* Yahoo! Toolbar [Mozilla version of Yahoo! Toolbar]
* eWebMail Color and Graphics [Enables Color and Graphics for Yahoo! mail, Hotmail, and others]
* Tabbrowser Preferences [Enhanced control over tabbed browsing]
* Web Developer [Adds a menu and toolbar with various web developer tools]

Mine are Googlebar, Tabbrowser Preferences and ChromEdit. Actually, they are the only extensions I have on this Firefox right now. The FirefoxView and ieview extensions are quite handy too, as they allow some integration between IE and Firefox. The good thing about Firefox is that it has lots of extensions for download!

Take a look at the Flash Blocker...

It eliminates those annoying and fat advertisements made in Flash.

And it allows you to manually start the Flash files that are really part of a web design, or the Flash files that are mini-games.

Recommended for those that are not blessed with a broadband connection to the i'net...

I find the many Firefox extensions coded by the fanatic Firefox users from around the world very useful. It really has made me more productive in front of the computer. My favourite extensions are:

Furl - this extension allows you to "furl" any page, ie save any page you like on the free and super useful service http://www.furl.net

JustBlogThis! - one touch access to blogging. Works with Blogger, Xanga, Movable Type, etc.

del.icio.us - add bookmarks to the popular del.icio.us bookmarks manager with one click.

Livelines - allows me to add news and RSS feeds easily to my Bloglines account

Gmail Notifier - check my Gmail inbox every other 5 minutes for new emails.

My favorite Firefox extention is adblock. This extention can block whatever i don;t want to see. It is great, since i am still using 56k dial up internet connection, I can block flash, large image, and adv. to improve the speed of loading the web page.

Second favorite Firefox extention is Tabbrowser Extension. I can totally get control of tabs. The undo closed tab and save session feature is fantastic.

Bookmarks Synchronizer is another must have firefox extension. It allow me to have a same bookmark in every computer, even the computer in school.

Just to let you know, he hasn't made that pic. It comes with the Noia 2 Extreme theme (I think thats how you spell it), I've got it on Firefox, and its really cool.

My favourite Firefox extensions have to be:

  • Fire FTP - An FTP plugin for Firefox, works really well!
  • Foxytunes - Controls your favourite media player (which in my case is JetAudio) through Firefox

   Sun May 22, 2005    Reply         

I have just downloaded this new extention called Adblock (which is now going to be one of my favorites) which allows you to block ads that you don't want to see from any website. It is very simple but effective way to block banner ads or images that you may not want to see.

Here's my list:

  • Adblock for one
  • Web-developer: whole page design concept has changed ever since I've had it.. it's ultra awesome
  • FireFTP - gone are the days of crappy browser based FTP :P
  • CookieCuller - which lets me protect cookies like that of astahost/trap17 and wipe out all the rest at the flick of a button
  • Google Pagerank
  • Google Preview - which provides thumshots of google search pages
  • ColorZilla - this one is extremely handy - tells you the color of any part of the page in a multiple variety of formats along with RGB breakdown.
  • Foxytunes - control Winamp/any common media player straight from the status bar.
  • ShowIP - shows IP of current page in status bar
  • Image Toolbar - which provides you with a hovering IE like Image save toolbar.. no more right-click, Save :P
  • BBCode - Forum posting is incomplete without this one. Makes posting a breeze
  • Last but not the least - couldn't live without this one AT ALL - FlashGot ... redirects all your downloads to your fav. download manager, even for the redirection links that your down. manager is incapable of catching upon click :P

Wheeeee... that's my list - currently all on my supercharged firefox.. :P

   Wed Jul 6, 2005    Reply         

I would have to say that my favorites are Roboform (I do hate filling out online forms), the theme manager, MyQnA Toolbar (I'm an active member in Gaia, and Tabbrowser preferences.

definitely it has got to be scrapbook. the plugin i use the most.

   Sat Jul 9, 2005    Reply         

Also is Firefox easy to use i do not want to get it if it makes everything alot more work for only small in return.

   Mon Jul 11, 2005    Reply         

I use Adblock - although it doesn't save on loading time, it unclutters the viewing page and time so you don't have to look at annoying flashing banners or even worse, accidentally click on them :P

Also Google Adsense Checker even though it only takes 10 seconds to actually physically log into my adsense account, it's even quicker to just moniter the clicks through firefox, which is very handy although not necessary.

My favoruite one however is the one which adds Opera-style mouse gestures to Firefox. The mouse gestures was the only reason why I was still using Opera rather than Firefox but hwen my friends showed me that the same functionlaity but just as good was avaliable as an extension in Firefox existed, I switched over and I've loved this extention the most. The best part is that it draws a line (optional) when you drag so you know what's going on.

I want to introduce 3 useful extensions:

CustomizeGoogle - Once you type in the Google search textbox, a list of popular search keywords matching your input will appear. A link bar is also added to the top of the result page so that you can easily do the search in other search engines.

NoScript - No site can run javascript without your permission! Plus feedback options.

Forecastfox - Displays your local weather in the status bar. Quite handy.

Where Can i get firefox and is it free? Are the extensions easy to download? I hate banner ads. Is there an extension that will block them when i am surfin the web?
[post="43890"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

Yes, Firefox is free and very customizable. It is easy to use, but also allows room for advanced customization.

You can download Firefox here:
Download Firefox

There are extensions and themes available on that site also. Adblock is a very helpful extension that is used to block annoying ads.

Definately WebDeveloper and GmailNotifier,

Besides Adblock, Google Toolbar, Proxy switcher, User Agent Switcher, Faster Fox,
I never go to firefox without Grease Monkey.
Totaly transforms the Browsing Experience. There are thousands of Scripts available which can be used with it.

A few favorites rolleyes.gif.

# Adblock so I can disable them nasty advertisements
# CookieCuller - same reason as above, kill only cookies that are needed. I got too many profiles etc saved I otherwise never clean
# BBCode - speeds up posting a bit
Flashgot I don't need as DAP has a firefox extension built in to move all downloads
#Bugmenot: bypass compulsory login for webpages. just right click on login screens for various sites
#save to folder: I like adding images to my HD for later use (forum posting imgs). This speeds up a lot when saving to various folders.
#All in one gestures: I like right mouse gestures
#colorful tabs: colors stuff, handy
#customize google: removes ads, adds links to top of page to do same search on other search engines
#download statusbar: ads statusbar to bottom of page instead. real handy. Ads some extra stuff too
#fasterfox: speedboost! Although this one may cause memory leaks.
#IE view lite - lite version has no memory leaks, view same page in IE.

The best thing about firefox is that it allows to stuff up so much on it! So, once anyone has just downloaded Firefox, he should check out the extentions and add-ons for Firefox at the Mozilla Site (mozilla.com) By the way, here's what I use-

  • Fasterfox-Of course, when you using the best browser, you should get the best performance! This one really speeds up surfing, and noticeably for those who're on Dial-up or ISDN.
  • AdBlock Plus-You've heard much about this by now :) , it blocks the ADs we tell it to, like a good pet - I like my pages clean, no ad-business cranking them up!
  • Spellbound-This spell-checker is a must for someone like me, who posts a lot to often in forums and is horrible with US spellings! Its also handy when you're doing a feedback or a review, makes you look serious! :)

That's all I stuff my firefox with for now. I tried out loads of extensions when I first got Firefox, but now I only have the ones I really need!

Besides FireFox and it's features out of the box I don't need much.

But I do find the Gmail Notifier and AdSense Notifier extensions extremely usefull and perhaps even a necessity for me these days. they certainly save alot of time and trouble for me.

I don't like to have too many extensions as FireFox on it's own is fairly chunky.

   Tue Sep 12, 2006    Reply         

Right now I only really am using forcast fox, gmail notifier... oh and some tab added features one. I've been meaning to re-pimp out my firefox so I'll probably go through a bunch of the ones mentioned here later and see which are of use to me.

My favourite is "VideoDownloader" you can download videos from youtube and such sites :P

   Tue Oct 10, 2006    Reply         

Mine would have to be VideoDownloader. You can rip videos from Youtube, google video, etc. by getting a direct download link. It's very handy if you see a video you like on a page and have no way to get a copy for yourself.

Is that on the FireFox site? That extension could be handy, iv'e always wondered how to download those instead of having to re-stream them all the time so I can show other people.

If you have a direct link that would be great too.
