Firefox Add-ons

Hadn’t posted a list of the Firefox add-ons I use in quite a while. I like sharing the list with others and comments with suggested additions would be great. This list is actually generated by an add-on, InfoLister.

*UDPATE*
Brian had a good question, I posted some comments about some of these in the comments to this post.

    Adblock Plus
    Firebug
    Flashblock
    Forecasterbar Enhanced
    Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
    IE Tab
    Java Quick Starter
    Password Exporter
    Tab Mix Plus
    Web Developer

    Not sure where(or when) I picked up the java quick starter or the password exporter. What makes the ones you use useful and worthwhile?

    I think Permit Cookies is one of my favorites. You set Firefox to accept cookies but only Until I Close Firefox. Then with Permit Cookies you set exceptions to that rule. That keeps trackers from tracking you. You only keep the cookies from the sites you want, like Google, ESPN, Amazon, localhost, etc…

    I probably use Delicious more than any, I bookmark several things a day.

    I think everybody uses Adblock Plus and Foxmarks, both should almost come pre-installed.

    I see you use Tab Mix Plus, cool. I use that to automatically open new tabs when I type in a URL in the address bar or do a search. I also change some of the tab click options.

    Two scripts that are good for Greasemonkey. Show Amazon Prime eligible items in Amazon searches and show pictures on search results on Craigslist.

    Evernote is a note program I use. It syncs between all my PCs, Macs, and iPhone. I can paste directly from the web or compose long notes in there. Very useful, and free.

    You missed the most important plugin: NoScript. It’s just lazy to surf the web without it.

    Adblock Plus – Keep those ads out of my browser
    ViewSourceWith – Edit text box contents in a real text editor
    Delicious Bookmarks – Easy access to my del.icio.us bookmarks
    DownThemAll! – Great little threaded download manager
    Firebug – The ultimate web development tool
    Firecookie – Bring cookie browsing to Firebug
    FireGestures – Mouse gestures for Firefox
    Forecastfox – I can’t believe its 70deg today
    Html Validator – You don’t want to be serving invalid HEML, do you?
    IE Tab – Sometimes webmasters are just lazy
    MR Tech Toolkit – Lots of useful little hacks for Firefox
    NoScript – Your one-stop-shop for secure browsing
    Tab Mix Plus – Take control of your tabs
    Update Notifier – Actually know when your plugins have updates
    Weave – Sync all kinds of information (alpha, not very stable)
