adblock :P
Most important of all :D
AdBlock isn't even an add-on any longer. It comes standard with FF.Quote:

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
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...
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)
Screengrab!
ViewMyCurrency
Some of my greasemonkey scripts:

Gotta love firefox.
View Source Chart. It's useful as a developer but probably even more so if you're not one and ever have to find something (like, say, the actual link to an embedded movie or sound file you want to save).
adblock plus, tab mix plus, fasterfox, downloads in tab, linkification, greasemonkey, and my all time fav iMacros :]
i'm stumble upon addicted
I love the web developer addon. I use it at work every day to figure what's going awry in my poorly coded CSS until my graphics designer can fix it.
I need to put a password on my browser so my family can't see my bookmarks
is there any add-ons for that?
adblock
flashblock
delicious
downthemall
I'm suprised no one here uses flashblock. I hate flash files loading up unless i want them to.
DownStatusBar
Flashgot
FEBE
Linkifcation
AdBlocker Plus
DictionarySearch (I'm a word freak)
Dom Inspector
Download Manager Tweak (Makes the download manager sexy)
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
gTranslate
IE Tab
Live HTTP Headers (It's a must for me)

Check4Change

Just download add-ons for firefox based on your daily needs.
AdBlock Plus - Ad blocking program for bad sites
Download Statusbar - Shows more user friendly download status
FlashGot - Plugin for your download manager of choice
Foxmarks - Synchronize bookmarks between multiple pc's
Scrapbook - Saves web pages for offline reading.
PDFdownload - Extension for pdf downloading or viewing in your firefox including web based pdf to html conversion.
:)
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.
Definitely Fasterfox and Firebug
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... ;)Quote:

FF and NoScript is the safest you can get...
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 :)
If only I knew what that meant... :idunno:Quote:

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...

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.
