Admin Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I know there are a lot of people out there who use Firefox. Because of this I would like to know what your most useful addon is? Personally, there are 2 addons I can not live without; Firegestures - Control your browsing by just using your mouse, a must have Foxmarks - Synchronizes your bookmarks, also a must have, especially if you use several computers like I do. so give us your most useful addons and maybe also your fav theme?
dluddy Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Adblock and the Google Toolbar are mine currently
By-Tor Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Yahoo toolbar (mainly for search) and Download helper. Download helper is very handy when you're saving video streams from places like YouTube... and generally ANY video streams.
Pugwash Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Adblock and Exif viewer. Oh, and Firebug for work.
LordRasta Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 ietab for me. While I detest IE, there are just some sites that aren't FF friendly.
abat Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Foxmarks has already been mentioned but it is excellent for synching across my two machines. The really cool thing is it can keep bookmarks in synch on my dual-boot Windows / Linux machine.
slay Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Stumble Upon, Tab Scope (shows a little preview of the tap when you drag the mouse over the tab). Adblock Plus is mandatory.
vric Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 why do you need a toolbar for search when you have a search box already in there ? I lost most of my addon when I upgraded to Firefox 3
Blerkselmans Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Tab Catalog works well for me, and Download Helper (already mentioned)
Nex_necO Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 noscript It's a must. Let's you control what scripts to run on websites.
ajoesmith Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 dont have any addons but have a vista aero theme, look great!
pfran42 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Try Piclens..it is AWESOME for viewing pics when doing a search for a watch!!! http://www.piclens.com/
slask111 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Adblock, noscript are given addons. Dont surf the net without them! Foxmarks is also handy, Download statusbar is also one of my best addons. Makes downloading files very easy. PicLens for browsing pics is very neat, try that and PDF download. Easy to open/save pdf files.

T, I thought you used Opera? I switched to Opera because of you....
Watchya Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 FoxyProxy - enables me to browse sites like this from work You can specify rules so certain URL's are directed through a different proxy than normal
cornerstone Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 I thought you used Opera? I switched to Opera because of you.... I tried Opera because of you. It sucked, with it's crazy magic wand. For my extensions I have a lot of dictionaries, FlashGot, Statusbar, and I did have Firebug but it doesn't work yet in 3.0.

For my extensions I have a lot of dictionaries, FlashGot, Statusbar, and I did have Firebug but it doesn't work yet in 3.0. Well I have to admit, but I don't know what the magic wand is and I've been using Opera for almost 2 years now.
cornerstone Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Well I have to admit, but I don't know what the magic wand is and I've been using Opera for almost 2 years now. That may account for it not annoying you then. Ah, I'm just kidding. The wand is the thing that saves the passwords, and it was fine. http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/2/ Opera just didn't work with the sites I needed it to, since I was specifically using it for those sites, and to save passwords.
geo1nah2a Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Google Browser Sync: sync bookmarks and passwords to The Cloud and all your pc's:) Forecastfox: weather system bar Hyperfox: A must have. Fast references/wiki look ups etc Piclens: one of the coolest plugins.. almost a standalone, it is so much fun browsing google/photo sites with their interface. Eurotimez has his photos on photobucket and it is so cool browsing it! And adblock etc for security.. Edited July 18, 2008 by geo1nah2a
llsteve80 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Google toolbar was all I had. Unfortunately, firefox 3 blows so I got tired of all the connection time outs and locking up and incredibly slow performance and uninstalled it. Running opera now, seems to be OK so far. Ebay was a little screwy with it, but I jumped to IE to do what I needed. I tried some patches and stuff, don't remember what, to try to get FF3 to work properly, no go. Piece of junk IMO. Maybe I'll DL FF2 soon. Enjoying the test drive of opera.
