Choice Firefox Extensions

One of the best things about Firefox is all the extensions. I thought I would compile my list of the best / most useful extensions. A lot of them I think should be included in Firefox by default, but I understand the logic of not including them. Some people might want just the lightest weight browser possible. For those looking for lightest weight possible, I recommend K-Meleon, it uses the same Gecko engine Firefox does, but is even lighter weight.

• Tabbrowser Preferences - Makes the tabs work the way you expect them too.
• SessionSaver - Saves your open tabs when you close Firefox. Be warned that if you have another Firefox window open, then close your main window first, then it will loose those tabs. They recently added a confirm dialog for that scenario. Much nicer.
• All-in-One Gestures - I really only use the gestures for the Right-Left click to go backwards and the Left-Right click to go forward. But this is the best gesture extension I have found so far.
• Download Manager Tweak - Just recently found this one. Really makes the download manager nice. Lets you put it in a tab instead of a popup window. I used to use the Download Bar, which is a nice one too.
• Adblock - I don't advocate the wholesale blocking of all ads, those are a great source of revenue for web sites. But I cannot stand some of the annoying ads that some web masters allow to put placed on their sites. The worst are the flashy ones. Anyway I use Adblock to block the worst ads.

There are a lot of other really good extensions too. I have many more then these loaded, but these are the ones I find indispensable.

FYI: Most of these links will probably break when a new version of Firefox comes out. For some reason they require you to have the version number in the URL.
