threeme2189 · Jun 1, 2005

what is your favorite firefox browser extension or extensions available for download at the mozila website?

my personal favorites are the Gmail notifier, smoothscroll, tabbedbrowsing preferences and all in one guestures.

Adblock (by far), Tweak Network Settings, & Image Zoom

I agree... Adblock is awesome.

I also like IE View for those pages w/ ActiveX or some Flash (for some reason Firefox and Flash don't get along, no matter how many times I install it. No one else seems to have probs w/ it..)

Oh... FOXYTUNES!!!

That is an awesome extention... no switching between pages, especially good for players that don't have a mini-mode. (foobar2k -

)

BBcode is best by far!

Adblock and all in one gestures

I'm a big fan of ForecastFox.

Launchy's good too

threeme2189 · Jun 4, 2005

jow could i forget the addblocker.

Adblock, definitely, and later I will check out foxytunes I guess it is so I could can control XMMS from FF.

TekeTorvo · Jun 7, 2005

I agree with ForecastFox. Also, the Tabbrowser extention.

dAvies.lOcker · Jun 7, 2005

My favs are

Adblock
GmailNotifier
fireFTP
Athens Toolbar (great for getting research papers off multiple Athens sites)

FoxyTunes is good, but i dont use it anymore - i leave winamp on random anyway

addblock
and the one that changes the name of firefox randomly (firesomething..thats the actual name of the exstension

)

another vote for adblock, slowly inching my toward an ad free internet lol

Adblock and Tabbrowser Extensions are just about the best I've used to date. I also use Spellbound, a great spellchecker

Session saver is easily my favourite. Very useful if the program crashes, you accidently close the Window, or if you just want to close firefox and continue to read later, or the next day.

khiloa · Jun 7, 2005

Session saver could be handy if I have to restart to load an extension or something like that and I have a jillion tabs open, I hate to loose them all! I tried Foxytunes since my last post in this thread and its kind of nice but I have gotten rid of it already. Nothing against it, it is just not my kind of thing, I do not mind taking 2 extra seconds instead to skip to the next song from XMMS itself rather than almost instantly from FF.

whitebloodcell · Jun 7, 2005

I used to have foxytunes but I never used it, seemed easier just to go into iTunes.

khiloa · Jun 7, 2005

Ditto.

Tabbrowser Extensions > *

Unfortunatly it's not on Mozilla's download site because it used to be quite buggy and they didn't want it on there.

Other favs:
Download Statusbar (a zillion times more convienient than the download window...)
Linkification (double click on an unlinked URL and firefox goes there)
IEView (right click -> view page in IE for those pages which don't work in FF

)
Popup Count (tracks number of blocked popups, but more importantly lets you easily change per-domain popup settings)

Those are great, Jiggy! Thanks!

The download statusbar is a very cool little extension.
