[FireFox] What 7 addons do you think are essential?

Adblock Plus - »adblockplus.org/en/firefox

Saved Password Editor, DOM Inspector & Stylish (I customize a lot), and DownThemAll! (never download w/o it); another dozen or so are useful, but not "essential", for me.

You can spend days going through AMO and trying out bunches of add-ons--and you should. I'd also suggest getting familiar with PortableApps.com, esp. Firefox Portable; it's rather useful being able to run several different instances of Firefox at the same time.

What seven add-ons do I think are essential?

That is a tough one. I have 87 Extensions and 5 Plugins. For daily use my top seven would be:

- BBCodeXtra
Adds BBCode/HTML/XHTML and custom tags commands to the context menu
- CoLT
Makes it easy to copy link text and locations.
- KOLOBOK Smiles
Be with KOLOBOK smiles in any forum and blog!
- Lazarus: Form Recovery
Recover lost forms with a single click
- Print Edit
Print preview with integrated edit capability.
- Stay-Open Menu
Facilitates opening multiple items from the Bookmarks Menu and various other bookmark/history related dropdown menus.
- Tab Mix Plus
Tab browsing with an added boost.

Of course I need all of my extensions. So I consider them all essential.

For the profile I use for classes the setup is almost stock everything. Now of course there are a ton of programs over the years for classes.
Thing is putting on a bunch of addons to browsers or antiviruses for the computer or extra firewalls can turn icky.
Lots of classes have VPN, ssh, etc. Some use browsers for many things. Adding a whole bunch of extras may break something a class requires you to do . Then figuring out which addon is responsible can be a headache.
Why I run the university profile almost stock.

Privacy/Security:
BetterPrivacy (LSO manager)
HTTPS-Everywhere
Adblock Plus
Ghostery

Stability:
Session Manager

Function:
DownThemAll!
DownloadHelper
Mozilla Archive Format (I default to MHTML)

... and others that feel less than necessary.

reply to Mele20

Yeah, I have wondered about that. I have tried DoNotTrackMe and I didn't like it. I far prefer Ghostery. But I LOVE GoogleSharing. I would pay for it and I would pay for Ghostery but not DoNotTrackMe.

I prefer Ghostery over DoNotTrackMe as well. That said I do not use either one now. I have never heard of GoogleSharing until this thread, but I personally do not trust Abine. They pimp DoNotTrackMe like a snake oil sales man.
