Couldn't live with out my Adblock AND 'Adblock Filterset.G Updater'! (must have the 2nd one, but it depends on the 1st).
- BugMeNot bypasses asinine compulsory registration forms.
- Chipmark means I'll never lose my bookmarks seeing as they're not kept on my PC.
- Flashblock does ..well, you know ;)
- Also swear by Mouse Gestures (tho' other ppl prefer All in One gestures ..preferences at work).
- Sort Extensions and Themes ..because things MUST be sorted properly! :cool:
- Tab Preview, way cool extension, great for getting quick-flick views of pages
- TinyUrl Creator ..'s also a neatness thing (I wonder if there's a trend here...?) :D
This isn't my full list, I've got a couple of repeats with some of the above.

pffft....some of the extensions are so important that you sometimes forget its not part of the firefox install!! :D

I also like using BugMeNot and Adblock, especially for those annoying FLash adverts.

Thanks bdt for reminding me

"PDF download 0.6" - Never get surprised by a link opening a PDF in the browser.
"Adblock Plus 0.7.0.1" - Save time and bandwidth by blocking ads.
"Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.0.4" - Updates for Adblock
"Flashblock 1.5.1" - Blocks flash media.

*** I advise everybody using Firefox to at least install Adblock and the Filterset.G Updater. Compare (news24.co.za) before and after and be amazed...

as a buddy of mine says "walk and see more" ..or, put another way: RTFM :D ..bottomline dude: try 'em out and learn something but, presuming an XP box, set a restore point first (..cos you never know!)

these look interesting, but have searched and can't find 'em...

is the second one the same as 'ctrl tab preview'?
and 'sort extensions and themes' - is that the actual name of the extension?

edit: oops, sorry, didn't read your other post carefully enough - found the 'tab preview' one, thanks :eek:

yea, that it is. I've hunted that damn site up and down and there's NO sign of that extension any more. But it should come as no surprise :D that I've got details, to wit:

I've got this page (but of coruse it's currently broken, MIA, AWOL) as the link, with these details:
Sorts the lists of installed extensions and themes alphabetically.

The extension installs a "Sort" hyperlink on your Extensions Manager's window, near the "Get More Extensions" (or "Get More Themes") hyperlink. Clicking it will cause the list of extensions or themes to be sorted alphabetically.

They thereafter remain sorted (even through closing and reopening the Extensions Manager and/or Firefox, reboots of your computer, or whatever), until you install a new extension or theme (or manually unsort them for whatever reason). If you do so, you can simply click on "Sort" again.
..but I've also got the .xpi locally, so just yell if you want it.
