Firefox Extensions...

Mr Green · 2007-01-14 18:10:09

Just wondered what everyone uses.. grabbed Fast Download read a bit about greasemonkey ....

Any ones you just could not live without ?

Lone_Wolf · 2007-01-14 18:51:23

NoScript - block javascript, flash

Adblock / Adblock Plus - block ads/banners etc

TabBrowser Preferences - more options for tabbed browsing

These 3 extensions are used on all my firefox installs, both for linux and windows.

The first 2 make surfing a LOT friendlier.

+1 for adblock

There's also MediaPlayerConnectivity that I use for embeded media and fasterfox for download speed improvement.

dolby · 2007-01-14 20:37:58

adblock plus
flashblock
fasterfox
vimperator (hope to see this in the official page soon)

manmower · 2007-01-14 21:01:28

The ones I use permanently:
- Adblock
- Greasemonkey for a script to keep track of changes in my last.fm charts

I install and remove other extensions as needed. Usually to do evil stuff such as downloading flash video or entire sites.

How anyone goes through life without Flash Block is beyond me.

Another one I didn't notice up top is Disable Targets for Downloads, although I'm not sure if it exists for newer version of Firefox.

i just found out my self that noscript does it better

skottish · 2007-01-19 03:21:30

If I understand correctly what Noscript does, Konqueror already has that functionality built in. As well as adblocking.

Mr Green · 2007-01-19 07:43:10

think there is some pop up blocking in *fox but adblock well wow

got fireftp loaded but not tried it yet too used to gftp ;-)

del.icio.us is one I was looking at

so many too chose from .....

hugin · 2007-01-27 00:06:06

these are the one's I can't live without:
· Greasemonkey: need my additional shortcuts for gmail
· Stylish* fixes alot of uglyness on webpages
· Tab Mix Plus: Started using it with 2.0, as Tabbed Browswer Preferences doesn't add as much anymore
· Download Statusbar
· Ad Block Plus: I love the collapseable flash ad capability
· Foxmarks Bookmark sycronizer; keeps my bookmarks synced

Other nice ones I use on occasion (installed but leave "disabled" until I need them. (keeps load times down). · Platypus
· Aardvark
· Web Developer
· AllPeers; this works better for me than IM file transfers through my school's network.

enjoy
