adblock plus is essential for me

Posted at 5:49 pm on Aug 23rd, 2008 by keici

I type .xom constantly

I couldn’t live without FoxMarks to sync my bookmarks across systems, and I use AdBlockPlus.

Posted at 5:56 pm on Aug 23rd, 2008 by jazzman

I use FlashGot, Gmail Notifier, Download Statusbar, and Web Developer! That is my standard set of addons to firefox! I have some other that are disabled until i realy need them! :D

TamperData is totally crucial.

Noscript for blocking urchin.js and those increasingly annoying scripts that prevent you from viewing a page if adblock is turned on.

I also use Adblock plus.

@7: Never heard of that!

I always use Adblock Plus Download Status bar and something called Compact Menu Blue, It shrinks down the top menu, and if u use the ifox theme, instead of using an ugly blue logo, it gives you a nice pretty apple button, I use a few others too… but none to important to others to use, like an add-on that turns off the automatic playing of flash files, If I want to view them I click on them and they play. Great For annoying adds that shout in your face when you blaring tunes… you know… the ones that say something g a y like “CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE JUST WON…” YEAH RIGHT!

BTW I run Vista x64 Ultimate on my PC and XP on the laptop… I must say… I like vista, when using more than 10 plug in’s for Firefox… but if using less than that… XP and Vista opens Firefox about the same.

I generally find myself installing Firebug, FoxyProxy, Hackbar, NoScript, FlashBlock, Web Developer Toolbar, Foxmarks, Modify Headers, Tamper Data, and User Agent Switcher. Greasemonkey usually ends up on some boxen here and there.

Posted at 8:12 pm on Aug 23rd, 2008 by Zach

AdBlock Plus, baby!

Posted at 10:35 pm on Aug 23rd, 2008 by yooper

Adblock plus
disable backspace navigation
desk cut

I’ve got a few others but the former are those I find to be the most useful. The last two should’ve been integrated into Firefox by default though.

download status bar is a must! I hate the standard download screen. I use Adblock Plus as well, great add on.

Posted at 11:25 pm on Aug 23rd, 2008 by moloch

For all you “.com” mis-typers, a shortcut:

Type the name of the .com you want, for cnn.com, type ‘cnn’ in the address bar, and press Control+Enter. It adds the “http://www.” and “.com”.

You can also do Control+Shift+Enter, Shift+Enter, etc.

What about the Google Toolbar? That’s one of the best addons, it has support for multiple systems and navigators, has popup blocker, spellchecking, it’s multilanguage, has search feature, bookmarks and a long etc.

Posted at 12:55 am on Aug 24th, 2008 by kholdstare

User Agent Switcher
adblock plus
pdf download

But where’s the torrent search?

Posted at 1:00 am on Aug 24th, 2008 by BigD145

Splitbrowser. You can split the browser in half; great for side-by-side browsing of different web pages, especially on those giant, 22″ widescreen LCD’s.

Apart from the usual adblock/noscipt/flashblock and some developer/maintenance stuff I also insist on slimsearch and when at some point I saw it featured tried flagfox which I find to be surprisingly interesting, it adds a little country flag for every site you visit using an internal db and it’s often surprising and elucidating.

As for google toolbar… I consider it malware just by the way they try to push it alone already.

Is there one that makes FF3’s interface not suck?

Posted at 3:34 pm on Aug 24th, 2008 by Rawrl

Noscript,Google toolbar and FEBE are good for me

I can’t believe I am the only one who finds Speed Dial essential…

It can seriously speed up your daily operation

Posted at 8:37 pm on Aug 24th, 2008 by visionetiks

my top 3:
1) Adblock Plus
2) Filterset.G Updater (for adblock plus)
3) NoScript (like flashblock)

others:
DownThemAll / Flashgot
Customize Google
GreaseMonkey
Stylish

addons from FF2 I wish they’d update:
Fasterfox
Tabbrowser Preferences

Posted at 9:13 pm on Aug 24th, 2008 by Aud1073cH

bugmenot

Adblock Plus, Mouse gestures and greasemonkey are my indispensible ones. I’ve never come across a site that wouldn’t let me view it with adblock on (and tend to forget that the internet has adverts until I have to go back to IE), but put instructables on the whitelist anyway because aw shucks, they asked so nicely.

Colourful tabs (or whatever it’s called) is useful at work when I have a lot of google and msdn tabs open to make them stand out from the rest.

Posted at 5:32 am on Aug 26th, 2008 by PKM

I basically NEED Tab Mix Plus to use firefox. It lets you set it so that tabs can span multiple rows. Right now I have 5 rows of tabs open, 6 columns per row.

Image Zoom lets you right click on any image and increase / decrease its size using the scrollwheel (and other features)

IE Tab with the auto-sites filter for sites that just refuse to work in FF

Forecast Fox – I like it on the top of FF on the same row as the Menus

Adblock Plus of course

BugMeNot for random crappy news sites

Posted at 2:59 pm on Aug 26th, 2008 by Justin

AdBlock Plus, TamperData, Download Statusbar, and l337key are my essentials.
