Firefox Extensions

I've been downloading some Firefox extensions, and there's sooo many to look through. I thought I'd make a topic dedicated to organizing the best Firefox extensions into topics.\

FoxyTunes (controls your media player)
Adblock Plus in combination with Filterset.G (removes almost all ads)
Save Link in Folder (lets you save dl'd files in diff folders rather than all in one folder)
URL Fixer (fixes typos when entering URLs for example it will fix "www.google.con" to "www.google.com")

wow adblock plus combined with filterset.g really does do the trick, alot better than standard adblock.

If you use popular extensions, they will get updated. Just look at my list, it says which ones can have 2.0. if most of your faves are compatible, then get it. the biggest letdown is fasterfox, which isnt compatible yet.
i'd suggest downloading it.


4w4k3, i agree, this ad thing is amazing. a little screwy with pages that need ads for formatting, like imageshack, but other than that, awesome.
