Anteus Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Forgot I also got Internet Download Managers plugin (autoinstalls but I love it :D). About more autoinstall plugins I got Java Quick Starter disabled and as for plugins I got Real Alternative Lite and Quicktime Alternative Lite, I just hate both of the full versions of those programs.

donizme Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I use these on Firefox 3.1 Beta 3:Adblock Plus 1.0.1Add Bookmark Here 3.1, this makes bookmarks appear on the top of screen like in Google Chrome!Clear Private Data 0.2.2, makes deleting cookies/other temp files easierColorful Tabs 3.9.1, this makes the tabs have colours! very nice addon!Download Statusbar 0.9.6.4DownloadHelper 4.3, you can download youtube videos with this!Speed Dial 0.9.0.3, Like the one in Opera!WOT, displays a rating next to a website to say if its safe in Google search, and even in your e-mails so you can check if that e-mail will lead to a safe website!

bob1234 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I use a bunch not mentioned yet, which eventually increase the memory usage over time, but perhaps others will help them helpful as I do :)I'll just list all of mine with a brief description of why:AutoPager - great for autoloading the next page of a site without all the clicking! The best usage is really seen on google searches and forumsAdblock Plus - ad blockingDownloadHelper - grab vids off of sitesFlashGot - integrates w/ my download managerGreasemonkey - lots of useful website-specific tweaks/conveniencesGreasefire - autofinds many greasemonkey scriptsMouse Gestures Redox - mouse gestures are awesome; I dunno how people don't use them lolRefControl - customize referrersTab Mix Plus - tab optionsGo Up - goes up one level in the website hierarchyEasy DragToGo - customize dragging options on links, images, textFavicon Picker 3 - customize fav iconsImage Zoom - image zoom optionsLocationbar - clearly identifies the subdomains; I mostly use it as an extra precaution against phishing or web address confusion (even though I've never really had an issue with it, I'd rather be safe than sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duzaki Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I thought it'd be interesting if we all mentioned which Addons we use with Firefox and why we choose to do so. It doesn't matter if it's for privacy, appearance, bookmarks, etc. Maybe, we might be using things that others might find helpful or maybe someone can point out problems with our Addons collection, as in, such and such Addon does the same as the other or this Addon actually spies on you. Just list them, mates and add your opinions! :) I'm currently using these:* Adblock Plus 1.2.2* BetterPrivacy 1.48.3* Video DownloadHelper 4.8* Ghostery 2.3.1* IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.5.10.1* TACO 3.0 with Abine 3.20* BabelFish Instant Translation 1.93* ImTranslator 3.3.5* NoSquint 2.0.3* Read It Later 2.0.6* Screengrab 0.96.3* StumbleUpon 3.73* WeatherBug 2.0.0.4* Xsticky-Tool 1.3.2* YSlow 2.0.7I know, that's a lot of Addons, mates but, I don't use all of these at the moment. I've disabled some of them because I want to test those out later on. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I think everyone should go and get an account at Mozilla.. and download the Collections extension.. in a few seconds you can create a collection of your own for everyone to link to and look at or even subscribe to...Addon CollectorGood way to share easily and install all of the addons or ones in which you select and even view updates and changes..For instance... 0ofu EssentialsFits right into your Addons window.. with some nice options.. be a great way to post up and share.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
