[limpdickkid]

These are the ones I'd recommend to install.

http://image.bayimg.com/oajphaaba.jpg

For Adblock Plus, subscribe to one of the Filter Lists. To do this go to Preferences in Adblock Plus, click on the Fliters Menu Item, then "Add Filter Subscription". Here click on "View all subscriptions" and go through the list to select the ones best suited to you. I would recommend "Easylist + EasyElement".

Greasemonkey Scripts I use:
Mailto 2 Webmail
Disable Text ads - not sure if this even needed anymore
eBay Auction Enhancer
Googlenlarge
RS_Bundle
BayImg.com - Sweet Interface

[orcutt989]

The best way to check out add-ons is to just go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1 and check out the extensions they have. There is even a "most popular" list. However, just because they are popular, does not mean they are useful to you. For example. "Foxy-tunes" is one of the most popular extensions. But who would want to use a sub-par media player embedded in their browser, when they could use their own favorite media player independent from their browser? Personally, I use Adblock, minimize me, Forecast Fox enhannced, and tab mix plus...

[svr]

I found a couple new ones.

GooglePreview
OPIE (supposed to backup extension preferences but doesnt work for me, im gonna wait for updates for it)

Some of my greasemonkey scripts:

OK I hope you guys aren't considering yourselves as geeks, LOL... :whistling

No one here even mentioned ----> NoScript

http://noscript.net/

No geek would ever use FF without it!

Shame shame boys and girls for missing this!

No script is too intrusive for me. Same with Adblock and G filter, I had trouble accessing many GOOD sites. Just my opinion though, like i stated it all depends on your needs in the end.

[rowland]

Definitely Fasterfox and Firebug

[DasFox]

No script is too intrusive for me. Same with Adblock and G filter, I had trouble accessing many GOOD sites. Just my opinion though, like i stated it all depends on your needs in the end.

There's nothing complicated about it. Let the icon run in the lower right and when going to sites, just right click and allow them that's all, or click them on the website pages to allow, simple... ;)

All you want to FIRST allow is the DOMAIN name of the site you are visiting, allow as little as possible to stay safe.

FF and NoScript is the safest you can get...

[svr]

I tried NoScript for FF before and thought it was too much work to configure and gave it another go and its not too much work. Just allow the sites you trust and ban all *ad* sites and dont allow sites you have no idea about.

Also FF addon site told me about this http://www.siteadvisor.com/ site. It seems to lookup sites and shows you info about them. Looks useful so far. Are there better ones?

Oh and NoScript found some tracking cookie crap here on FST. But its not working for me anymore :)

I need to put a password on my browser so my family can't see my bookmarks

Use portable firefox and put it in an obscure directory.

Yep true that, or run it off a portable drive or USB stick...

YEP It's not hard at all, easy...

All you want to really do at first is just allow the DOMAIN you are going to and leave all the ad sites and statistic crap denied, because in there with all that crap is where some of the bad boys might be....

PLUS something people don't realize either with NoScript is, even if a site you are going to is fine, by denying all the other stuff you kill ads, banners, popups this way, and also the sites load much faster.

I was a member on a free forum I made a forum on, the damm thing had like 10 different stats, ads sites that ran with it too, what a mess waiting for all the crap to load, so with NoScript I only allowed my forum domain name and then the forum loaded really fast...

Most of the time it's a great way to just get past all the crap and load a site fast...

You know what you are a mind-reader i was thinking of the same lately

[SonsOfLiberty]

You can go the FF add-on page click "most popular"

[SonsOfLiberty]

Newest API I just found...

http://labs.mozilla.com/projects/firefox-personas/

Personas builds upon the ideas that:

* themes today are too hard to find, install and use
* graphic designers should be able to style the browser without having to code
* browsers can be more than just desktop software, they can include online components
* people just want their computer to be a little more fun and personal

We've just begun exploring the possible benefits of an online component to deliver a better browser experience. There much to explore in this regard; Personas is a simple example. Persona selector is dynamically loaded and populated from a JSON feed and all designs are loaded via URLs to remote resources. All changes to the browser chrome are applied instantly, with no need to restart.

[Frankthetank1]

I was wrong roboform password saver expired after 30 days and really sucks now. Its like if you want any of your passwords now you have to pay for them.

[SonsOfLiberty]

Keepass has plugin too, so if you need them just check the page, they have plenty of em'.

[Frankthetank1]

ya but trying to figure them our is a real headach... a lot of them either have updated to a new plugin or then dont work with your version of FF.

[SonsOfLiberty]

Well I got a good memory, I just run Keepass in my system tray and when I need a password I just click open find the site and grab my password.

Nice link.

Automatic Save Folder is orsum. :01:

It doesn't even mention Keepass though. :unsure:

[SonsOfLiberty]

I don't imbeed Keepass, it's a stand alone proggy that you can have run all the time and when you need a pass/username just click it, find the site and the pass you need and your good, it's one of the best "secure" and managable password savers I've seen...it's not a form filler password saver.

chatzilla
firebug
noscript
i've tested more in the past but these are the most needed for me

[Ashhal]

Search for AddonFox. It has the most used addons in it. It's a great to be honest.

[lightmonkey]

Down Them all is a nice add-on for Firefox

[jkl49]

I think NoScript is the best and most needed add-on.

I used to use various add-on's for things like additional tab options/customization, tab session saving, hyperlinking plain text, and extra downloading options, but after multiple times of reinstalling firefox, I find that I don't always go back to them or bother looking for them. Plus everytime a new Firefox comes out, it seems like multiple add-on's are then no longer supported and you have to find a replacement or an equivalent. At one point I had a ton of tab sessions saved with an add-on and I think I lost them all due to that. I also remember one of the original tab option customization add-on's being discontinued when Firefox v2 first came out.

If you've updated to Firefox 4 and want to be able to move UI items around, here's an addon that will let you do that:

Google seies and Alexa tool are commonly used. I also have some other video tools.

Be careful about the addons you install. The more addons, the slower the browser becomes. Mozilla want to address this problem now.



Mozilla: Each Firefox Add-on Adds 10% To Firefox Startup On Average

Add-ons can severely impact the startup time of the Firefox web browser: On average “each add-on you install adds about 10% to Firefox start-up time” notes Mozilla’s Justin Scott in a post at the Mozilla Add-Ons Blog. This means that the startup time of Firefox will on average double if ten add-ons are installed.

Mozilla has made the decision to improve overall add-on performance, and the blog post lists the plan of the Mozilla development team to improve the performance of add-ons in the Internet browser.

Wrong. Download Statusbar is fully working in FF 4.0.

Firefox Add-ons are easy to install, learn, and use pieces of software that you install into Firefox which adds more functionality and allows for near total customization of your Firefox web browser...............

[courtesyiw]
