Favorite Firefox add-ons

[Darq]

I know a lot of you use Firefox (probably most of you), so I felt it was necessary for all of us to share our favorite add-ons that make living on the interwebs easier.

I'll start off with a few:

Obvious first choice: Ad-block plus

Gets rid of a lot of clutter and speeds up some sites. You can select to turn it off on certain sites that you want to give money to as well. (Like i do with KATG and Digg)

Now, go forth and post your favorite Add-ons!

XD okay!

I just downloaded this a few days ago (okay, yesterday) but I already really like it. Some would argue that it's kind of useless because you can have these links in tabs, but I find use in it anyway: Auto Dial. Instead of having a blank screen when you open a new tab, you have a list of the sites you most frequently visit. Also (I hear this was a problem in past versions) it highlights the text in the bar so you can do what you already do naturally by now, which is start typing as soon as you ctrl+t. whee!

All the Better Google ____ from Lifehacker are pretty good. The del.icio.us one is pretty useful for del.icio.us users. I've switched to Safari and can't think of any of the ones I used to use with FF.

Ad-Block Plus of course.
Forecastbar Enhanced.
DownloadHelper.
Unlinker.
Gmail manager.

Hoping an update comes for HTTPGuideDog for v3.

a list of my most favorite add-ons:

Better Gmail: just a few small tweaks to the page that really make a difference

Better GReader: same as above (also, if anyone uses GReader, I'd love to share articles with you! It is one of my favorite things on the internet)

Download Statusbar: view and manage downloads from a tidy toolbar

Cooliris (FORMERLY PicLens): cmon, if you don't know what this is, or don't have it, boo on you.

StumbleUpon: I don't use it as much as I used to, but it comes in handy every so often

Woot Watcher: well, I am always curious in what they have for the day (and if there is a woot-off) even if I can't afford any of it. I swear, one day, I will get my bag of crap!


and finally, the bestest, Greasemonkey: so many cool things you can do with this one. You can find cool codes for it at Userscripts.org, some of my favorites of THOSE being able to hyperlink ANY link on the page so I dont have to copy/paste all the time, extending forums pages so I can be lazy and not have to click to go to the next page (it just loads there FOR me! whee!), and AutoLogin (my favorite) so any page that has my username/password saved in the fields will auto log in (saves a few seconds and clicks, worth it to me, even though it is kind of a pain if other people want to jump on the computer to check their shit. If that happens though, all I have to do is click the little monkey in the corner of my browser and Greasemonkey is disabled until I click again. I fucking love the internet)
*edit: ALSO, there is one to remember what was last typed in a field the last time you were on the site, in case the browser crashed in the middle of a 4 paragraph post or some shit

aaanyway, wtf else is out there?

google toolbar - I use it for erryting. get it.
better youtube - all sorts of options, but I only made it so that videos don't autoplay
customize google - again, tons of stuff I don't take advantage of, but I only use it so the pictures in google images hotlink directly to the image files, and instead of going to a second page (or having 100 results per page) you just scroll down, and it automatically loads the next 10 results (30 on image searches) on the same page
firenes - nes simulator with every game (I couldn't find one it didn't have) that plays right in your browser
downthemall - downloads all of a particular file type from a page, and automatically names it and saves it on your computer (good for porn sites that only give you 6 30 second clips on a page)
image zoom - lets you adjust the size of images, bigger or smaller

Foxmarks Allows you to sync bookmarks between browsers on different computers. I love this one, my surfing experience is the same no matter where I am.

Oh! Ooh! I want to play. Let's see.

Greasemonkey for the scripty goodness.
Better Flickr/gmail/greader/youtube improve their respective services greatly.
Customize Google does just that.
CyberSearch turns the Awesome Bar into a google search bar that searches as I type, very handy.
Delicious is my social bookmarking app of choice.
Download Statusbar keeps things tidy.
DownThemAll! is a nice, fast downloading app, which is great for taking all the images from a *chan thread or grabbing something I want from a site quickly.
FireNes is fucking glorious. Instant access to thousands of full NES games inside your browser with no additional downloads (use it at work, kids!).
PicLens or whatever it's called now makes images searches a joy.
Tree Style Tab allows me to fiddle with how my tabs are displayed in relation to each other.
Wikilook allows me to highlight any word and get instant definitions and information in the same window.



Ah, so many meanings.

I'm also trying out Ubiquity, which aims to bring the web together.
