Firefox extensions

Arent Firefox extensions fabulous? No? Oh. you got a life...
Anyway for the rest of us, they are.

Here are my favourites, I dont always install all of them on every machine, but quite a selection every time.

• Fast dial:
  essential, such an eye candy. and usefull.


• del.icio.us bookmarks:
  new firefox 3 bookmarks, are nice, but i use several machines, several users, several profiles, sometimes not firefox, so syncing bookmarks is key.


• faviconizeTab:
  nice.


• Web developer:
  Must have for web developers. Suprisingly I use it much anymore, so Ive realised I just dont do much frontend coding anymore.


• Firebug:
  Like web developer, good css/ajax debugging tool.


• Foxyproxy:
  Not recommended for everyone, but nice work extension to automatically alter which proxy you use. (In case they monitor how much time you "research on the net".


• ie tab,
  if in windows, even less reason to ever click on e!


• quick java:
  quick buttons to enable/disable java


• NoScript
  essential security tool, a bit overzealus.


• pwdHash: handy.
  
• adblock plus:
  if some adds annoy you, or as i often encounter, slows your pc down to a grind if you tab open 5-10 news articles with lots of flash adds....


• remember the milk for gmail:
  handy


• twitterfox:
  nice not essential


• facebook:
  nice not essential


• CTRL+TAB:
  Nice idea, but lacks some configurability, so needs to mature a little.
  Tab scope:
  Nice, but not that usefull,
  Tab sidebar
  Very nice
  Ctrl Tab Preview
  If only it was updated to FF3


• google preview:
  just usefull, not essential.


• Split Browser:
  Handy viewing some side by side. A bit buggy last time I used it.


• firegpg:
  nice, if only people would care about encrypting emails...


• google toolbar:
  used to always install it, not bothered in the new firefox 3


• foxtrick:
  if you play hat trick, then foxtrick was essential, and is still usefull.


• 
  modify headers,
  if debugging web apps .


• 
  gmail notifier:
  if you dont have an external one.
  works with google apps.


• Elasticfox:
  Essential if you use amazon ec2 alot


• 
  S3 fox:
  Handy amazon S3 browser.


• google browser sync:
  Very handy, but discontinued for firefox 3.
  Syncing many things, but the element I used was passwords.
  very usefull as i use many machines, often reinstalling firefox,
  and dont want to remember every password.
  downside was privacy, but id rather trust google,
  than some 3rd party i dont know. (better the devil you know)
