What are your favorite extensions for firefox? :shoot


Your poll and question contradict eachother. The poll appears to be a 'favorite browser' poll, while the question asks about plugins that can only be used by 2 of the browsers mentioned.

my answer:

Adblock, bugmenot, ieview, download manager tweak, smoothwheel, cutemenus. bannerblind, and Im sure there are some more that I use, but I just cant think of them off the top of mey head.

BTW, I use firefox .9.1 patched

[Atarius]

The second question does not apply for those who do not use Mozilla or Firefox.

[Atarius]

F.Y.I for users of Firefox before >0.9.2.
(Old News) Link (http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html)

On July 7 a security vulnerability affecting browsers for the Windows operating system was reported to mozilla.org by Keith McCanless, and was subsequently posted to Full Disclosure, a public security mailing list. On the same day, the Mozilla security team confirmed the report of this security issue affecting the Mozilla Application Suite, Firefox, and Thunderbird and discussed and developed the fix at Bugzilla bug 250180. We have confirmed that the bug affects only users of Microsoft's Windows operating system. The issue does not affect Linux or Macintosh users.

On July 8th, the Mozilla team released a configuration change which resolves this problem by explicitly disabling the use of the shell: external protocol handler. The fix is available in two forms. The first is a small download which will make this configuration adjustment for the user. The second fix is to install the newest full release of each of these products.

Tabbrowser extension. Although it has some bugs that sometimes keeps links from opening in a new window.
Adblock.
All In One Gestures
BugMeNot -- for news sites that want registration

[Kedamono]

"Add Bookmark Here 0.5" is a must.

[homie_da_clownx]

[napho]

A few different ones here.

[cpugeniusmv]

i use Tabbrowser Extensions and Mouse Gestures

[DainBramaged]

TBPrefs, Sort Bookmarks, Mouse Gestures, AdBlock, SessionSaver, and GmailCompose

[LordNIkon]

I like Tab Killer, Paste and Go, Launchy and Web Developer.

[rebirth]

Firesomething. By far my fave. I'm on Mozilla Waterquail. My most favorite one so far? Poweremu. Love it. LMFAO just got FireLemur

[wingnut2600]

I have like 25 extensions... it is sad...

my favs?

Tabbrowser Extensions
Linkification
Optimoz Tweaks
All-In-One Gestures
Blog this
Show Old Extensions
Cute Menus
GMail Notifier
Firesomething
EMButtons
Compact Menu
AdBlock
Add Bookmark Here

Okay... I have 33 Extensions that I am using... maybe 3 of which I am not... my browser is lovely though... I bet none of you have a browser with this many weird tweaks.

[DainBramaged]

You're right. And I don't want that much extra garbage.

[wingnut2600]

extra garbage?

This is tweaked sweetness man. They aren't like tools... they don't slow down the browsing. They just make the experience far sweeter.

Perhaps the damage to your brain has lessened your ability to be civil. Garbage? What do you do with your browser? Is it a useful tool that adds to your internet experience? Or just something you use to look at stuff?

I hope that you enjoy your default (useless) browser.

that's the beauty of firefox

you get to pick your own garbage

as opposed to IE, which gives you the whole dump

[The Hunter]

Complete with flies.

[bobhss]

Firefox is very nice. I need a browser with Mouse Gestures, so it's by far my best pick for that.

Extensions:
All-in-One Gestures (I like the line it can draw, you get bored and you start drawing)
Close Tab on Double Click
Single Window 1.0
ieview - for those times you Really have to
Allow Right-Click

[Matt865]

AdBlock's the only extension I use. Other than that, Mozilla seems to do everything else a browser needs to do.

[collideous]

Web Developer, Bookmarks Synchronizer, Link Toolbar, Sage and Foxamp.

[Netaku]

I have a lot of extensions, but here are my faves:
Configuration Mania
Context Search
Dict
Deepest Sender
Download Statusbar
External Application Buttons
Nuke Anything
Open Book
Sage
IE View
Text/Plain
Flat Bookmark Editing
Gmail Notifier
BGSOUND to EMBED
Google Pagerank
ChatZilla
Flashblock
Mozilla FBRH
Style Sheet Chooser
ChromEdit

[wingnut2600]

I will place a star after my favs:

I am soooooo pleased that I have Windows DRM installed on my compy ;)

Realistically, I could live with just having the starred extensions, but the others do have their uses... and I am really enjoying the weather in the status bar, but this is a new extension (as far as I know).

BTW... if you want to find new extensions, this is an excellent forum:

You're right. And I don't want that much extra garbage.

Well, you know what they say - garbage in, garbage out. And i doubt their is anyone who has ingested more unadulterated trash than wingnut2600.

Anyone with a brain knows that phoenix or firebird, or firewolf, or whatever they are callling it today is one of the lamest browsers out. It is slow, full of bugs, unsecure and doesnt even support half the sites on the web.

Personally, i stick with a real browser, either IE or lynx.

Microsoft® DRM (Why does this even exist?? )




because idiots install it of course

My Bad, I tought it was because idiots made it.

1. FireFox w/ FiretweakerXP is faster than IE on my PC.

2. Use Launchy trigger IE when I must use it (very rare).

3. Firefox Unsecure?? (arguable).

4. IE a real browser?? LMAO.

Which only goes to show the true depth of your ignorance.
