Post your Favorite Firefox Add-Ons

[PC Hobbyist]

I thought it might be fun to see what everyone's favorite Firefox Add-Ons are. If possible and to make it easier to others please post links and not just the names.

Here is a great tip to make it easier to view this list: If you first install the add-on CoolPreviews, you can simply place your mouse over the links below and you'll get a pop-up preview of that window. That way, you can quickly read what the add-on is about, and if you are interested you can even download and install it from within that preview window. Better yet, you can keep the preview window open and just select (at the top left) to show the next link. That way, you can view all the links without ever having to open a new tab.

Okay, here are mine in alphabetical order:


Adblock Plus
Colorful tabs
CoolIris
CoolPreviews
Dictionaries
Disablemenu
dotCOMplete
Download Statusbar
Firefox Showcase
Fission
FullerScreen
GoogleEnhancer
ImageTweak
Speed Dial
Tab Mix Plus
Yet Another Smooth Scrolling


And here are some that could come in handy.

No Squint
pdfit
Snap Links



As a side note: You can back up all your add-ons with free programs such as MozBackup, or add-ons such as FEBE (see also Cleo for use with FEBE) or OPIE. That way, if you reinstall Firefox, you don't have to individually get all your add-ons back.



If this becomes a helpful thread, maybe the admins can place it as a sticky. We'll see how it goes. Thanks in advance for sharing.

My favourite add-on is StumbleUpon. In fact, it's the only one I use

And here is the link for the curious among us.
StumbleUpon

Really that's the only one you use? Wow. You should give other ones a try too. They can be pretty nice.

Well, I'll try others in this thread after I go back to Firefox

Here is the list:
Video DownloadHelper
Adblock Plus
FireGestures
Download Statusbar
PDF Download
PicLens

There was one more that showed a progress bar near the tab's icon, but don't remember the name any more and i can't find it any more.
EDIT: it was Tab Mix Plus, but waiting for a version for Firefox 3

Nice list.
FYI - Tab Mix Plus for Firefox 3 can be found here (it's a developers build). I haven't had any problems with it. The link to that forum is here.

FireGestures seems cool. I'll have to check it out now.

PicLens is now called CoolIris (same people who make CoolPreview)
