Firefox Extensions

[beto]

Which extensions are you guys using?


I have these ones installed:

All in one gestures: customizable mouse gestures
Adblock: banner, image and flash ads blocker (with regular expressions support)
DownloadWith: adds a context menu and a pre-download window to select which application should download a link
ImageToolbar: just like the image toolbar in IE that pops up over large images, but better
Paste and Go: pastes the url on the location bar and there's no need to press enter afterwards, works with the search bar too.
ShowImage: adds Show image to the context menu, reloads the clicked image without reloading the entire page.
CookieCuller: create a list of 'protected' cookies and clear the rest with one click.

and added GoogleImages to the search bar engines.

I still miss Opera's closed windows list, other than that, I'm loving firefox.

I use the RSS Reader, Web Developer tool bar and the Gmail notifier (which I can't get to work!)

The first to are extremely useful - WebDev toolbar is a god send to web designers

FireSomething is good, but I still use Opera.

Nothing. It works fine without all the xtras.

rgr that


although this sounds pretty sweet:
Adblock: banner, image and flash ads blocker (with regular expressions support)


probably blocks some normal content from time to time though

i use:

adblock
google toolbar
download statusbar

FlashGot. I think thats the one I was using to download everything from a single site. You can use it to download every single picture from a site instead of one by one.

Allow Right-Click - Bypasses right-click protection
IEview - Adds "View this page in IE" and "Open Link Target in IE" to context menus
GooglePreview - Inserts website picture previews in google and yahoo search results
LinkPreview - Link Onhover link page preview


All are cool... the last two are badass.

actually, it blocks most popular ads, you have to set them up when browsing... i mean, i'm blocking

these are not links! (just in case)
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/*
http://rad.msn.com/ADSAd*
http://ad.terra.doubleclick.net/*

the * works as wildcard, that blocks all ads on hotmail, if you see an ad and you want to block it, just right click on it, it will open the dialog, use wildcards to improve the filter and it's done.

imho = 4/5
it lacks an option to trusted sites
