Favorite Firefox Extensions

[OSUsushichic]

I know several have mentioned helpful extensions in other threads, but I thought we could devote a thread to them.

I just discovered an extention that I have been using a lot lately. It's called Snapper (not pink, you sickos!), and you can crop any portion of your screen and save it. It's wonderful for creating easy screenshots.

Others I love are Customize Google, GSpace, FasterFox, FoxyTunes, Autocopy, Adblock, del.icio.us Post, BetterSearch, and Colorful Tabs

My favorites:

Nuke Anything - Allows you to remove those unsightly ads (or any other object)... especially handy when you want to print a web page without ads!

IE View - For those stubborn made-for-IE pages... opens the current webpage in IE. Also good for web developers to quickly test their page across browsers.

Flashblock - As the name says... blocks Flash automatically on web pages... the flash does not download until you click on the Flash object itself. Helps cut down on annoying flash ads.

I really like tabmixplus. They don't have a version compatible with 2.0 yet but they're working on it.

I'm also gonna back you up on foxytunes and forcastfox.

My favorite theme by far would have to be noia extreme.

I can't live without adBlock. My other favorites are Download Them All (download accelerator) and Cutomize Google. I use a bunch of others, but 2.0 just provided their function by itself. My favorite theme is Mostly Crystal (http://www.tom-cat.com/mozilla/firefox.html), it's a linux-based look.

It is great! I learned about it in my class this semester. My prof uses it all the time, and it has made my life so much easier with creating screenshots for PowerPoint presentations!

Adblock. When I get on another computer, I cannot believe the number of ads on the pages I go to.

PDF download. Gives you options on how to handle PDFs, including saving to disk and viewing as HTML. Did I mention I hate Adobe?

It works for what I've tried it on.

Just discovered Morning Coffee. It will open your choice of websites in tabs all at once. Brilliant!

Faviconize Tab is great if you tend to have a bunch of things going at the same time.

Since I've been working on web design lately, I've been using these a bunch: ColorZilla for picking up color values on web pages, View Source Chart to see source code all neatly arranged in colorful sections (amazingly easier to read), and Split Browser to see two tabs simultaneously.
