Essential Extensions

• BBCode - Adds Formating (BBCode/HTML/XHTML/etc.) to the context menu for Blogs and forums (PHPBB and others).


• Brief - A feed reading extension.


• deskCut - Create desktop shortcuts from the context-menu. Windows and Linux (KDE/GNOME) supported.


• DSLR Notifier 2 - DSLR/BBR IM and updated post notifier


• Forecastfox - Get international weather forecasts and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable extension.


• FormFox - Pops up form action when submit button is about to be clicked.


• Image Zoom - Adds zoom functionality for images


• Informational Tab - Provides thumbnail, progress meter, or others to each tab. (TBE 1 of 4)


• InFormEnter - Helper for form filling in semi-automatic mode.


• Launchy - Open links and mailto's with external applications like Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Outlook etc


• LinkChecker - Check the validity of links on any webpage.


• Menu Editor - Customize application menus


• MR Tech Toolkit - MR Tech Toolkit power tools for all users. (en-US)


• Multiple Tab Handler - Provides features to close (, reload, etc.) multiple tabs at once. (TBE 2 of 4)


• NoScript - Extra protection for your Firefox: NoScript allows JavaScript, Java (and other plugins) only for trusted domains of your choice (e.g. your home-banking web site). This whitelist based pre-emptive blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even unknown!) with no loss of functionality… Experts will agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript


• Source Viewer Tab - Shows web page sources in tab. (TBE 3 of 4)


• Statusbar Clock - Display the date and time in your browser's status bar.


• Tiny Menu - Replace the standard menu bar with a tiny menu popup.


• Tree Style Tab - Show tabs like a tree. (TBE 4 of 4)


• Undo Closed Tabs Button - Add a toolbar and/or tab bar button to undo closed tabs


• Update Notifier - Notifies you when updates are available for your extensions and themes.

• ...

• Default

How about share how you created your list of addons. I did it before, but now I can't remember.

I looks like Gone Fishing is using the MR Tech's Toolkit extension, My Config. My Config has the option to save/copy as BBCode, Text or HTML. The paste the result in to a post.

TOYOTA: Turning Off Your Option To Accelerate.

reply to Gone Fishing
I don't mean to be rude or anything, but just seems to me to many are copy/paste ing their whole list of extensions. Do you really think every extension/addon you use is 'essential'? Just a thought and no disrespect is meant. I use several addons that I would NOT classify as 'essential'.

Edit: Sry Kabanos this post was meant to all, in general not specifically to you.

reply to Gone Fishing
Some of the latest goodies I just got to find, enjoy and simply love.

Theme :
Aeon Nice, simple, and perfectly polished.

Extensions :
Save Images Easily save all images from current tab to disk, option to recreate paths. Beta on author's homepage has working option to only save images from current domain/server.

CheckPlaces Scan your bookmarks for duplicates, empty folders, check if links (still) exist, and even vacuum places.

CookieKiller An easy way to quickly delete cookies for current or any site, easy option to add sites to the cookie blocklist.

SyncPlaces Synchronize your bookmark between multiple browsers/OS's using online storage, your own server, or a local directory, encryption, merging options.

Page Zoom Buttons Simple Zoom-In/Out buttons, Lerft click zooms in, Right click zooms out, settings are permanent, no option to zoom text or images only.

I use quite a few Add-ons, with extensions it's currently 61, of those 53 are enabled and 8 are disabled. When I think of essential I suppose it would be the extensions I cannot browse without. That is just all of my enabled extensions. Most are used on a daily or weekly basis. Some only when the need arises. So I guess I will just narrow it down to those that I use most often, that I think are important as far I how I use Fx.

I totally agree. Mainly I was talking about people that just post every one they use. But maybe they consider all the ones they use 'essential'.

Not all are 'essential' but I shared anyway.

Only Permit cookies and ABP (maybe EHH too) are essential to me. And a few I'm just trying out, I do that from time to time. Like SmoothWheel,Flashblock,Compact Menu and MR Tech Toolkit.

Sorry if I have come across as a jack^&*. I didn't mean to at all. I always seem to do that, even if what's in my heart isn't meant that way. Thanks for your patients everyone.
