This thread was started for everyone to give tips to everyone else on their favourite FF extensions. As it is now I have 45 extensions installed, and FF is still loading perfectly.
(Please, for security reasons only links to the main mozilla FF extension site (addons.mozilla.org))
The idea for this thread comes from browsing the FF extension site, there are tons of usefull extensions but they are sometimes hard to locate. This thread is to let the "word of mouth" on good and usefull extensions work it's magic.
So here goes, my tips as of yet:
All-In-One Sidebar
This is one of my favourites, it creates a toolbar that goes along the side of the browser instead of the usual pile at the top. This is how I mannage many of my extensions so that I have them easily available.
I was happy when I found this extension since I've wished a sidebar similar to the one in Opera in FF ever since I saw Opera in action. It's really usefull if you are like me and have tons of extensions but don't want to decrease the line count in your view window.
Separe
This extension is for all of those who, like me, really embraced tabbed browsing. It allows you to group tabs using a separator and sort the tabs. Also the separators (who is tabs themselves) generate previews of the tabs to the left and right of the separator so you can click a separator and see the previews and change which side of the separator a tab is located.
Auto Copy
This little extension I make extensive use of, it allows you to copy a text just by marking it in the browser view. No more Ctrl-C. It's one of the extensions that I first installed and I make use of it on a daily basis.
Flashblock
This one is an extension that I always have turned on, it blocks flash elements in webpages from loading unless you click on the stylish F that appears where the flash element is located. Very good when loading flashheavy sites that you just want a specific link on or something similar.
NoScript
This one blocks Java scripts and embedded Java applications on webpages unless you allow the site to run scripts. This is really good when browsing pages that you are unsure of what the scripts does etc.
CookieSafe
Another blocker, this one it blocks cookies from sites you are unsure of, as in NoScript you have to allow the site to use cookies if you wish them to.
Well that's all for now, more to come.
Please feel free to add your own favourite extensions with link and a description on what they do.
