What Firefox extensions do you use?

irishgeo · 27-10-2004 10:08pm #1

With so many people using firefox and with so many extensions out i thought it would be good to get people to post the extensions they use.Here is mine:

Adblock - blocks ads of all kinds , the best extension ever!
Chatzilla - IRC chat program.
IEview - Allows you to open a page in IE by right clicking on a page.
Bugmenot - allows you to login to sites which require you to register first without registering.
Imagezoom - need i say more.
Alllow Right Click - Stops sites blocking the use of right click.
Sort Bookmarks - Sorts bookmarks by A-z method.
SpellBound - Spell checker
Foxytunes - Allows you to control music players through Firefox. No need to bring up the player just use the new menu added in the firefox status bar.

thats all of my extensions

feel free to add your own.

I use Mozilla at home but Firefox at work

Moz @ Home
Adblock
IE View
User Agent Switcher
Dictionary View
[edit] GMail Notifier

Firefox @ Work
Fireftp
Adblock
IE View

I like to keep things simple and they do everything I need

Popup Counter
Linkification
GMail Notifier
AdBlock
Tabbrowser Preferences

Used to be a big fan of Basic (a button for opening a new tab), but there isn't a new version for 1.0 that I know of...

yes of course Firefox will work with hotmail,
although Opera won't work with GMail

As for Moz n co not working with MSN, there was a time when MS changed the code on MSN.com so non-IE browsers had issues viewing it, this was resolved after a few days of news stories

Good work putting the descriptions in there. I might try the bugmenot extension, does that mean you could access forums without registering? for searching etc?

heres a handy little extension if you like message boards

https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=244&vid=610

it allows you to put quote tags around text that is in the clipboard so you dont hae to press the quote button, paste your text and close the quote tag.

handy if you quoting more than once in the same message
