Firefox Add-ons

[ronnynat]

I just got the Gradient iCool theme and it's awesome, IMO.

I think most would agree that you shouldn't have Firefox w/out AdBlock.

Another great extension is Fast Dial. It saves me from having to use an extra toolbar. It's cool looking, too.

Any that you guys recommend?

I use a couple of little extensions at work - FoxClocks (which lets you display time in multiple time zones in the bottom bar), and Status-bar Calculator.

FoxClocks is great if you deal with systems that use GMT or local time somewhere else.

Ad block is all i use. I'm a minimalist. I don't think I could ever go back to using the net without it

You should make a "WNFF Search" search engine for Firefox. I might be the only one that uses it, though.

I'm hoping to do a lot this off-season, I'll try to add that to the list.  Though I know nothing about creating Firefox add-ons.

when I used Firefox, the only things I used were adblock, BetterGMail, and noscript.

now I am using Chrome with privoxy, and I'm cool.

It's already done.  Get the Add To Search Bar extension.  Then, from any search bar on any site, right-click the search bar and then click "Add to Search Bar" from the tools pop-up, and you're done.

That's awesome. Thanks NA.

[ronnynat]

NA, the Tweak Network extension is great. Which ones do you like the most?

[GburgNatsFan]

Firefox is a really excellent web browser. It's free. It's better and faster than Internet Explorer. If you are completely happy with IE, then don't bother. If you are interested, you can go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ and download it.

There is a companion e-mail program called Thunderbird. It, too is excellent, but I think you are a Yahoo web mail user, so I wouldn't worry about it.

DM BBCode Extension 1.2

Long Description

Generic FireFox extension that works with any site that uses BBCode (most forums everywhere). This extension adds an entry into your context menu when you right click on stuff to make the relevant BBCode for you.
- If you're on an image it'll copy the BBCode for the image to your clipboard
- If you're on a link it'll make the appropriate BBCode for a link and put it in your clipboard (letting you choose the text)
Then you just need to past it into your favourite forum

Also when you're in a textarea (such as when posting on a forum) the extension adds new right click menu that applies BBCode such as quote, url, img tags etc. to the current select.

FireGestures are amazing.  You can set it so that when you drag the right button up, a new tab appears, etc.  I have new tap as up, close tab as down, left-over tab as left, right-over tab as right, and drawing a circle for close window.

I also use AdBlock as well as New Tab Homepage.
