Stumbled upon (no pun intended) two new ones today:

Web Comments - Find out what others think of that site.

-Found this using that extension.

Safe Browsing - prevent phishing.

They're relatively new, so I can't vouch for their reliability yet. I'm suspicious that the second slows browsing times down a little. I'll verify that later.

Others I use:

-FasterFox
-PDF Download
-IE View
-TabBrowser Preferences

Extensions are what makes FireFox the kickass browser that it is. So post 'em up... what do you use?

 

I use the PDF download extension.

 

adblock is the first one i install. it makes most websites readable without all the crap.

 

wow, i just discovered the wonderful world of extensions. i just got the weather and music player ones.

 

I'v got the tabbrowser prefs, weather forecaster, and fasterfox installed right now. I tried some more. The tabrowser prefs are a must have imo.

 

what else does the tabbrowser prefs allow you to do besides open a new tab by clicking on that icon on the left?

 

It opens links in for example yotatech posts in a new tab instead of a new firefox browser. You can also customize the characteristics of when to open new tabs etc. more.

 

I use two that I care about:

Firesomething - I use it to get rid of "Mozilla Firefox -" in the title bar.

Image Zoom - This has got to be the single most useful extension ever!

 

you can accomplish this by pressing the Ctrl button and then pressing the link too. that will open it in a new tab.

(this might be the same thing, i dont know. haven't used the extensions as i havent found a reason for it yet)

 

I use Stumbleupon, Tweak Network, Auto Copy, Disable Targets for Downloads (which sometimes doesnt work anymore), Tabbrowser Preferences, Image Zoom

Stumbleupon is my favorite though. If I'm ever bored it will always take me to an interesting website.

 

I had a number of developer extensions i used that allowed me to control Javascrip and meta transtions from the icon bar. VERY usefull but aparently not supported in the new 1.5 version. SO half the extensions i was useing dont work yet. (till someone reprograms them) I hate the firefox's own 404 page that now shows up in the new version.
