what is your favorite FireFox extension
now FireFox is only as good as the extensions you use, out of the box it lacks many essential features so lets make a good wiki page with all the extensions people actually use and like.
please don't just post comments, edit this page and add your extensions.
maybe later on we should have review articles of these extensions
Alaa
- AdBlock Plus get rid of ads
- AdBlock Filterset.G Updater automatically download adblock rules
- All in one sidebar move downloads, extenstions, etc to sidebar
- Del.icio.us Complete best del.icio.us integration module
- Firebug essential extension for webdevelopers, debug html, css, js on any website live
- Flashblock prevent firefox from loading and playing flash automatically. let's you choose when and what to show (essential considering how much memory and CPU flash consumes not to mention loud music while you're working).
- TabMixPlus since the folks @ mozilla insist on getting tabs wrong this extension fixes everything. open tab next to parent is an essential usability bugfix
- Web developer another essential extensions for webdevelopers. I like their html forms debugging tools.
