5 Firefox add-ons to boost your browser

Here's another one: Google Chrome :p

Chrome is rubbish. When they can fix multiple background tabs loading at the same time without lagging then maybe I'll give it another look :)

My Essential 5:
Adblock Plus
Noscript
Flash Video Downloader
Tab Mix Plus
Save Images (lol @ Chrome users who will never have this).

That last one is awesome. As someone who looks at a lot of por...er pictures and wants a quick way to save them, I literally hit 1 button and it Saves the image to a predetermined folder and closes the tab, moving on to the next one. Or I can just right click and Save Images from all tabs to the right, etc. An extremely useful addon for the power user.
 
Omnibar that bring the Chrome search/address bar behaviour to Firefox.
DownThemAll - excellent download manager.

Is there a way to download an addon to a flash drive and copy it to another pc? My work servers won't let me access addons or update them :(

You can just copy your profile from your Pc to your work Pc.

Or just use this awesome program: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

Backup your profile and restore it when you are at work.

Otherwise you can give the Sync function a try.

Firefox should be renamed "Crasher"

Crasher? Why, it never crashes with me and I'm using it everyday.
Maybe you're visiting the wrong sites, I'd suggest you install WOT add-on to show you what sites is bad. :whistle:

Or he tried all the awesome addons he could find regardless of reviews. Just bad luck some didn't play well together.

WOT is a fantastic app. Also recommend it.

The best ad on for me is opera....sorted now :whistle:

Forget the hype of chrome and firefox rather get the best browser.

OPERA ftw....ok thats my trolling for today over :p

Infraction material for this level of trolling :p

This! Chrome is quite the resource hog.

Noticed it too. And it's write a lot heavier than Firefox.
