Firefox Extensions

Recommended Posts

Since it's kind of tedious to try to look through so many different ones on the Mozilla website I thought it may be helpful if people list their favorites. If you want to, please list your favorite extensions, what's good about them, and the version of Firefox you are using. Listing ones that you dislike may be useful too.

 

Thanks!

 

Firefox 1.5

 

Image Zoom- Easily zoom a selected image by left clicking and the mouse wheel

Remove It Permanently (RIP)- Block ads, banners, dead links etc. Sort of like Adblock but easier to use

Leechget Mozilla Firefox Extension- Download manager

Flashblock- Replaces Flash animations with an icon that you can click on if you want to see the Flash animation

ColorZilla- Easily zoom an entire page among other things

IE View- Click to view the same page in IE

Dict- Define a highlighted word by right clicking

Download Statusbar- View download progress in a small window on the Taskbar

CustomizeGoogle- View image search results without the idiotic frames

Bookmark Backup- Backups bookmarks and/or a lot of other stuff every time Firefox is closed

- Adblock Plus w/ Filterset.G Updater - Ads?? What are those?

- SpellBound - Why can't they flag a lower-case 'i' as a typo if MS Word can..?

- Tab Mix Plus - Best tabs extension, IMO.

- Super DragAndGo - I must use this 4-5 times a day.

- NoScript - The missing piece to Adblock, although I haven't found too much benefit from it yet.
