Last Update: Mon, 07/28/2008 - 15:29 — cy
1. DownThemAll - Its a download manager/accelerator extension for firefox and works really well. Can download all or selective links or images on a webpage, and can also resume, pause and accelerate downloads.
2. FlashGot - Extension to have support for external download managers to work with firefox. A must have.
3. FireFtp - FTP for firefox
4. VideoDownloadHelper - To download images, and also videos from YouTube and similar sites.
5. FEBE - To backup firefox. It can backup the entire profile, or can be setup to perform selective backup in timestamped directories. Can perform backup of extensions, themes, bookmarks. A great extension. Currently, beta is available for FF3.
6. Chatzilla - IRC client for firefox.
I'd like to suggest Find In Tabs which searches text in all open tabs, FoxClocks, Organize Search Engines, Add to Search Bar, and Launchy.
My favorites are Lastpass for password management.
Xmarks for bookmark management.
They both work on Windows and Linux and automatically sync the information between all your computers.
I recommend some of my addons (I use around 36 addons)
- Must have: AdblockPlus, NoScript (already mentioned)
TabMixPlus: full control over tabs
WebOfTrust: protect against frauds, fake logins...
AllInOne Sidebar: a very convenient tool
- Should have: (depending on one's needs)
Resurrect Pages: when pages are blocked or deleted but you still want them.
MasterPasswordTimeout: fix a problem in the way FF handles "password asking".
GooglePreview: a thumbnail for each search result.
Fireshot: capture webpages as pics (very good even when facing movies, flashs), I previously used ScreenGrab but it can't deal with media.
Personally I don't think RedirectRemover is a must-have.
footiefox is pretty awesome for any football fan
As for adblocking, I agree that AdBlock Plus is excellent. And might I add CustomizeGoogle? Once added, you can specify all types of ad-content and click-tracking to block.
I'm less pleased with NoScript, as it takes some time to whitelist the content you don't wish to block.
Good luck with all :)
Well, this topic was first started as "Best Firefox add-ons" , and already Adblock Plus, and NoScript were mentioned there. Seems the whole topic got segregated with each comment as new topic. Whats going on here?
It's a good start, in my opinion.
What about adblocking, and protection eg. NoScript.
