Firefox Extensions

Tags: ,

As mostly a reminder to myself, here’s my list of extensions that I use with Firefox:

  • Adblock Plus
    This is a must-have plugin that easily lets you filter out ads. You can block javascript files from loading, images, and even specific div tags. My Adblock Filters.
  • Add N Edit Cookies
    As a web developer, this plugin has come in handy… it provides a nice and easy way to view and edit cookies.
  • del.icio.us
    If you’ve got a del.icio.us account to keep track of your bookmarks, this is plugin provides a great addition to the toolbar in Firefox.
  • Fasterfox
    Easily enables various performance enhancements for Firefox.
  • SearchPluginHacks
    I play with different Firefox search engines from time to time, and this plugin lets me easily remove ones I don’t need.
  • Tab Mix Plus
    The thing I use this plugin the most for is keeping a history of closed tabs so I can just middle-click the tab bar to reopen the last tab that I may have accidentally closed. It also has a whole bunch of other tweaks for the tab bar.

On another note, Firefox v1.5.0.3 just dropped a couple days ago to fix a particularly nasty bug. You should be able to quickly upgrade by going to your Help menu, and then clicking Check for Updates.
