I have a lot, but some of them are web development extensions I don't use all the time.

IETab - lets me open pages in IE inside of Firefox. Very nice for pages that don't work right in FF.

BugMeNot - lets me skip registration on some pages by using a pool of communal accounts.

Web Developer - Gives me all sorts of buttons to validate HTML, edit CSS on the fly, resize the browser to lower resolutions, disable javascript, etc etc. This makes web development so much easier.

FireBug - A Javascript debugger that also gives you a javascript command line. This is also extremely handy for developing.

User Agent Switcher - Sometimes if you pretend you're Internet Explorer pages let you in instead of saying "You must use IE6+"

FxIF - Displays the EXIF information of photos in their properties. Lets me see when photos were taken and by what camera. It's kind of really nerdy, since you get to see exposure time and shutter speed and things like that.

Search Engine Ordering - Lets me drag and drop the quick-search engines to put them in my own order, as well as deleting them directly from Firefox.

TargetAlert - Puts icons after links to non-web pages, such as PDF documens and e-mail's. Saves the hassle of clicking a link without realizing it's not a page then waiting while whatever app launches.

Fasterfox - Tweaks the way Firefox requests documents from web servers to be a bit faster.

FoxyTunes - iTunes controls built right into Firefox. This is really nice for pausing music to watch a video or quickly skipping around without leaving what I'm doing online. It actually works for almost any player; their supported list is huge.

ErrorZilla - I just discovered this one recently. When you hit an error page it puts up an error page with lots of options to help you find what you were looking for. You can go to the Google cache, a coralized link, the wayback machine, etc. It's extremely handy and saves me lots of hassle.

Adblock - This one blocks lots of annoying ads. I try to make my filters as unrestrictive as possible and I whitelist sites with unobtrusive ads, but I absolutely hate those flash ads that pop over the text I am trying to read.

Gmail Notifier - Sits in my status bar and tells me if I get e-mail. Very useful.


So umm, I guess I have a pretty tweaked out Firefox. It's to the point where not only is going back to use Internet Explorer a total shock to me, even using a default install of Firefox feels lacking. I <3 extensions.

Have you added/changed any of your extensions in these past two months?

I should mention for you ForecastFox users: ForecastFox also has an improved version dubbed ForecastFox Enhanced that shows a much larger, more detailed map on the bottom bar when you hover over. :)

All of mine are web dev tools:

FireFTP - tried it as my FTP client, but I still prefer SmartFTP
FireBug - Javascript debug
DOM Inspector - Very nice for debuggin HTML and CSS.
ChatZilla - I lied. This one's not a web dev.

IE Tab
ForecastFox
PDF Download
Adblock Plus
Google Preview
Update Notifier
HTML Validator
Peeko Chat

PDF Download and Adblock Plus are probably the most useful of mine, though Goodle Preview ads a nice touch to using google.

A new extension my friend introduced to me is "FireBug" it is mostly a webmaster tool, where it will show you how many errors there are on a page, tell you where the errors are, and another perk there is, is you can highlight text or something, and then FireBug it and it will show you the code. It is really handy when debugging a web page.
