Post Your Firefox Extensions
 

There's been a thead or two on this in the past, but so many of those extensions are obsolete these days, time for a new thread. So what extensions are you using now?

Tab Mix Plus - enahced tab related configurability

Image Shack right-click - right click any image and rehost it on imageshack, super handy.

Adblock Plus - the definitive adblocking extension

Flashblock - blocks all flash obects, replacing them with a button to play. Makes pages load much faster. You can also configure sites to always allow flash on.

Drag de Go - Lets you configure all sorts of "gestures". For example, I have one setup for IMDB searches so if I highlight any text and gesture left, it opens a new tab with the IMDB search results. If I gesture up, it does a google search. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] this extension

Text Size Toolbar - Adds 3 buttons to your toolbar for increasing/decreasing/restoring the font size of the current tab.

Nuke Anything Enhanced - Lets you right click > temp remove most anything on a page, e.g. an annoying animated gif while you're reading the page.

Duplicate Tab - adds a right click > duplicate tab option that preserves the history too.

I use a few others, but they are just geeky ones for web development.

This thread has been done before.

I'll mention this one again since I use them a lot doing light web development:

- Firebug - edit the DOM in real time
- Web Developer
- Live HTTP headers

Re: Post Your Firefox Extensions
 

- Tab Mix Plus
- FoxyTunes (has itune options at the bottom of the browser)
- IE Tab (some webpages require IE tab features, this emulates them)

I just got Nuke Anything, cool stuff.

I use a bunch of different computers through out my day so

FoxMarks

Is great for me. Keeps your book marks synchronized between computers. Best way for me to send a link to myself from one computer to another.


Also I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] FoxyTunes. Displays current track playing in iTunes as well as controls for play/pause/stop/next/etc and a link to look up the band on FoxyTunes Planet which is a dynamically built page with last.fm, pandora, wiki, youtube, etc content about the band that's currently play. FoxyTunes is great for when I have ffox up on one monitor and i'm playing poker on the other one and don't want to pull up iTunes (slow computer)

Aside from those mentioned:

Gmail Manager lets me keep track of when I have new mail.

Autocopy copies highlighted text. Highly configurable, so you can copy in plain text or formatted. Middle click will paste.

Linky - convert text links to clickable links.

How do you get it to do this? imdb search is not one of the options (I feel like this'll be something simple and I'll feel dumb for not thinking of it, but hey)

It works with any installed search engines, so you'll have to install an IMDB one first. Here are some common search engines including IMDB:

Here you can find engines for a ton of sites:
