Hi all,

Was reading a thread about browsers. Just wondering aloud what's the popular firefox add-ons, themes among forum members :)
 
As much as I don't like adverts and flash content playing on there own i would say that my most favorite firefox plugin is foxmarks.

I have two macs and one PC that I like to keep the bookmarks synced between and this plugin makes it so much easier.

With that said I have since switched to camino (runs much faster on my computers) and a foxmarks type feature is planned for the next release of so.
 
I'd have to say the youtube and wikipedia search button. I also like Download them all (one word with exclamation point.)
 
McAfee SiteAdvisor. It integrates seamlessly and is really useful for a quick glance at sites to see whether or not they're trustworthy. Mind you, it's more of a priority when using Windows due to spyware, but it doesn't hurt to be as careful in OS X.
 
Context Search is a good little add on.

Instead of highlighting text then pasting it in the search bar, you can highlight, rightclick, and search in whichever search you want, be it google youtube or wikipedia etc.
 
i haven't gone through the list for a long time. But I do have some must-haves

1. adblock+
block ads, nice and easy.
2. firegestures
mice person's must-have
3. compact menu (if not on mac) more space for web, especially EEE
 
I use:

Download Statusbar
Video DownloadHelper
Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer
AdBlock
ChatZilla
CustomizeGoogle
FireFTP
PicLens
TabMix Plus
Web Developer


I tried NoScript but it became more annoying than anything else, having to allow every single page I visit to allow content.

NoScript will calm down quickly with just a few mouse clicks for the sites you visit often. As rampant as cross-site scripting is, you need something these days. I'd like something that is initially less intrusive, but NoScript is the best thing I've found so far.
 
Must Have:

Adblock Plus
CookieSafe
Flat Bookmark Editing
Linkification
Remember Mismatched Domains
ScrapBook
Web Developer

Also Nice:

All-in-One Sidebar
Update Channel Selector
Dictionary Tool Tip
YesScript (which I prefer to NoScript when in need)

*Also, either the GrApple Yummy or GrApple Delicious theme is a must, especially if using one of the 3.0 beta versions.
