Favorite Firefox Addons/Themes

Cheesus · 6 Days Ago

What add-ons or themes can't you live without?

For me its:
Foxy Proxy
Download Status Bar
Flash Block
Hide Menu Bar
Fast Dial
Customize Google
Stealther
Tab Scope

I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 5, so good looking compatible themes are hard to find...

Any suggestions?

I just starting using Firefox the other day and I like it. Now I want some good stuff to add to it too. I searched for a Wii theme and couldn't find one. It would be awesome if someone made a Wii theme.

I just installed FlashGot which is a nice add-on to have especially since there's no way yet (afaik) to add downloads into FlashGet from Firefox browser clicks. There's an option in FlashGet to accept downloads from IE browser clicks but not FF. FlashGot can handle downloads for many other download managers as well.

Can you guys put a short description for some of the add-ons whose purpose is not so obvious just by looking at their name? For example, greasemonkey. I don't know wtf that is.

Squall, that image zoom is just what I was looking for a couple of minutes ago. I was looking at an image that I wanted to zoom in on when using Firefox and I instinctively looked at the bottom right for the zoom tool that's in IE7. Thanks for that.

FEBE:
to fully backup your firefox profile in its entirety. VERY useful.

Keyscrambler:
Keystroke scrambler, allows you to type stuff in your browser safely (passwords for example), without having to fear keyloggers.

Shareaholic:
something nice ;p

Finder fee for the seo extensions ;p

V1ncent · 6 Days Ago

These are main for me:

BitComet helper ( you get this when you install BitComet)

DownThemAll!

McAfee SiteAdvisor (you generally get this when using McAfee)

RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin ( you get this when you install Real Player)

Stealther

I use Noia 2.0 eXtreme as theme. Apart from flashblock (sites full of flash based ads tend to kill speed due to extreme CPU usage) and a dictionary the rest installed extensions are disabled cause most of the time I don't need them. Here's a list of them though:

DOM Inspector
DownThemAll
Firebug
Live HTTP Headers
Modify Headers
SpiderZilla (VERY useful if you wanna download a whole site or directory)
Talkback
Web Developer
wmlbrowser
XHTML Mobile Profile

Note that I don't use Adblock since ads don't really bother me.

NamesSolidSnake · 6 Days Ago

WTF? Who doesn't want Adblock Plus? Lol.

Also, uh, you can zoom in a webpage just by holding CTRL and scrolling up or down with the mouse wheel.

And god, Squall! You're a Firefox freak!

Lol.

Also, uh, you have to remember that I just started using Firefox exclusively this week. So yeah, I don't know about those little shortcuts and features.

galson · 6 Days Ago

Unplug and DownThemAll! are enough for me

Exodus · 6 Days Ago

Only a couple here too: Adblock Plus, ChatZilla, DownThemAll and NoScript - all pretty self-explanatory.
