Must Have Firefox AddOns

[OEM]

Hello,

Running Firefox now and see there are as many add-ons, as there are gadgets for windows.

Currently have installed anycolor, noscript and adobe flash, however, if there are better ones that do the same job, please let me know.

So, what are the must have's?

Which ones to avoid and why ? (performance, compatibility, dangerous, etc.)

 

[SeVeNrOxS]

Well for me ,adsblock plus simply roxs.Cant use my FF without that

Besides No Script that you mentioned, Adblock Plus, Greasemonkey, and IE tab are must haves.

 

[Airbot]

Yeah, Adblock Plus is tops. A couple other ones I like are Image Zoom and New Tab Homepage.

I hope all of you people using adblockers realize that there are webmasters all over the world starving to death because of your actions :sarc:

skip screen

Any one who downloads from rapidshare and is tired of waiting check out skip screen. Yeah I know there are downloaders but I also use this.

here are a few ''must have's'' for me...


new tab button...... (adds new tab icon next to the open tab)

new tab home........(opens the home page with every new tab)

nightly tester tool...(allows you to run themes & extensions for all versions of FF)

download status bar...(shows active downloads in the bottom left of the browser window)

Most people that run adblock plus are by the very nature of installing it not the type to click on ads.

You don't need to click peoples ads, quite a few are CPM (pay per impression)

Thanks! Never heard of it before. I use jDownloader for but for a single file this is great!

The more hungry ones are using code to get around that problem.

I have options to deactivate the adblock on most viewed sites like this 4rum since the ads might not be that annoying. Just hate some pop up

 

[OEM]

Thanks for the replies ,

The adblock plus and download status bar sound sweet.

I'll have to check All these out.

The ads 99.9% never get any attention/money from me anyway, so I just assume not see them.

Maybe on a sub-conscience level there affective. A little subliminal action go'n on that I don''t realize. lol

I feel your pain. I used to run a massive portal, bandwidth costs alone were enough to break my bank in no time. I refused to run ads for a year, finally tried AdSense and couldn't stand it. There's a lot of options out there for ads, none of them are good. Eventually, had to call it quits. :huh:

Let's hope that doesn't happen here.

How about something for better cookie handling?
Something not overly complicated, but effective on blocking most unwanted personal tracking. Basically block all the cookies that are not needed to access the page? Currently have it set to block 3rd party, but what that will stop now-a-days ???

I just noticed something I like about FF and the taskbar peak. It only shows views of each instance of a ff window thats open and not every tab. When you have multiple tabs open, it shows the one thats focused on. I like that. Not as overwhelming when a lot of tabs are open.

Here's the ones I run at the moment



The ones I "must Have" other than the adblock are ...

All in one Sidebar - puts everything (downloads, addons, bookmarks), into an auto hide panel on the side of the screen.

Compact menu - Puts all the menu options onto one button

Toolbar buttons - gives a wealth of buttons for the toolbar

Here's mine. Like the 1-ClickWeather.



Cheers...

The sidebar is sweet, lots of function & great info, for example right now its showing info about this web page.

Thnx
