Firefox Extensions

Name: Anonymous 2005-08-16 20:20

In the same vein as the must have programs thread, I wish to start a thread about useful or irreplaceable Firefox extensions.  Not so much about the well-known ones lke TBE or Greasemonkey but I guess the 'other' extensions that make it hard to ditch Firefox.  In descending order of recommendation:

Super DragAndGo - drag a link or picture and it'll open it in a new tab, fucken handy when you get used to it

NoScript - per domain Javascript+Java+Flash whitelist

Tab Mix Plus - TBE but without all the bloat that I don't use

SessionSaver - real working session saver unlike TBE's random works, sometimes recalling old saved sessions functionality

Image Toolbar - configurable, IE image toolbar, makes downloading those *ch pictures easier

Menu Editor - No more twenty-entry context menus!  I right click and only see three or four entries, woo!  Works on toolbar menus too.

Hit-a-Hint - I like to web-browse with keyboard only sometimes.  This extension makes it easier by defining a magic key that when pressed, will label all the links on screen with numbers.  Enter the number of the link you want to open, let go out of the magic key and the link will be followed.

Adblock. Goodbye annoying inline ads.

UndoCloseTab - one of the little features I missed most when moving from Opera was the ability to reopen previously closed tabs. This puts it back, after a fashion (in a much cruder form).

Keep using that, and ads will no longer cover hosting costs, and you'll be forced to pay for every piece of shit you want to browse.

Agreed.  I don't see why everybody makes such a big deal about inline ads.  I mean, I have seen some annoying ones over the years, but you know what?  I fucking got over it.

>>5 almost no-one blocks google ads; because they do ads the right way; ie non-intrusive and relevant.

Truth. The only adverts I ever pay attention to or ever click on are Google ads. Everything else is ignore, ignore, ignore.

Don't change these.
