Favourite Firefox Add-ons

[Zenbaas]

Hi i recently downloaded firefox to try it out and i see there are loads of add-ons for it. I was wondering what are some of your favourites.
I must say i love the piclens add-on. Looks so cool.

* Download Statusbar
* Flashgot
* MinimizeToTray
* TabMixPlus

There are tons more.

I've installed 'DownloadHelper' for downloading videos especially from Youtube. Then I also have Fireshot which I use to take screenshots. Other than that at work we used Selenium IDE which 'records' keystrokes and can play it back later.

If you use more than one OS or more than one machine - Linux, Mac, Windoze - try Foxmarks to sync bookmarks (you don't have to use their web server, just set one up yourself).

Another FF addon thread!

I've recently discovered these two really nice ones:

Link Alert : adds a little icon to your cursor when over a link to show what's behind it

Snap Links : Lets you draw a selection box with your right mouse button, then opens all links in the selection in new tabs

I only use AdBlock and Web Developer

ReloadEvery

 

[Globetrotter]

Adblock Plus
Mouse gestures
Tab Mix Plus
Webmail Notifier
FDM plugin
English/Afrikaans dictionary
CSSViewer
DOM Inspector

I just hope that once the final version of Firefox 3 is released, the coders for the add-ons will move along swiftly to ensure their add-ons work with v.3 as well. No point for me using FF3 if my mouse gestures are not working!
