Comments on: Best Firefox extension ever

There are certainly a number of excellent candidates, but only one Firefox add-on rises above the rest to claim the crown of best extension ever.

My vote goes to iMacros for Firefox
by nycmark38 June 20, 2007 5:26 AM PDT: There are many good Firefox extensions, but the one that saves me the most time is a new one called "iMacros for Firefox", https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3863

It is like Excel macros, but for the web browser. It can automate logins (like Roboform), but it can do _much_ more: After the login, it can navigate right to the page where I want to be. It also automates my daily standard searches, online banking and helps we uploading pictures to Flickr. It saves me about 1-2 hours PER DAY.; Like this Reply to this comment

Right button
by kairosnow June 20, 2007 11:21 AM PDT: I love those extentions that goes to the right button. Those to manage bookmarks (Simpy is great), and also de agregators extentions. I prefer Netvibes. The answers extention is also great.; Like this Reply to this comment

Fav Firefox Extensions
by geejunie June 20, 2007 1:47 PM PDT: I use Firefox because of Adblock Plus. Works perfectly---No ads! And I couldn't use Firefox without IE Tab----Too many websites only render properly in Internet Explorer.; Like this Reply to this comment

The best Firefox extension is...
by jdanylko June 20, 2007 5:51 PM PDT: ...Web Developer.

For all of the web-heads out there, I thought this would've been on the list.

I host a column on my site called Fireday (http://www.dcs-media.com/fireday/default.aspx), which reviews all of the latest Firefox extensions every Friday.

Best extension ever
by hatfield75 June 21, 2007 7:11 AM PDT: I enjoy many of the available extensions like Fasterfox, Foxy Tunes, and Adblock, But I love Cooliris. Cooliris allows you to preview a link or web page before you open it. If you find a page you like you can open it in a new tab, email the link to a friend, and keep a cache of previewed pages. Its true power shines when you use it on Youtube.; Like this Reply to this comment

Extensions I Use.

by bobmarksdale June 21, 2007 9:02 PM PDT

Adblock Plus (the best ever)
TabCatalog (gives thumbnail view of tabs)
New Tab Button on Tab Bar (for when there isn't enough space to double click)

Firefox Extensions
by Krowdrah June 23, 2007 3:14 AM PDT: Can't live without the following!

Foxmarks- for syncing bookmarks on different machines. BRILLIANT. I use a laptop in different locations, have a PC at home and workstation in the office. All with synced bookmarks. When I had to re-format the laptop, installed Firefox, installed Foxmarks, re-synced with server... and voila! No more lost bookmarks. If I ONLY had 1 extension it would be this one. I would even pay for it (using other people's blood).

Colourful Tabs
Makes tabbed browsing soothing on the eyes. Lovely!

Gmail and GSpace plugins
I get my GoogleMail notification within Firefox, and can use the GSpce to upload files directly into my GoogleMail space.

Trailfire
Have not done a lot with this yet, but think I am sitting on a gold mine with it. On my list of plugins to get to grips with.

No adblock
by togmkn June 21, 2007 9:30 PM PDT: I'd say Mouse Gestures is the one I need most. Having to actually CLICK the back button when I'm using someone else's computer (or, God forbid, Internet Explorer) reminds me of how great it is. Out of all the mouse gesture extensions, I think the one called "Mouse Gestures" is the best.

But, more importantly, I think Adblock is one extension that people SHOULD live without. I don't use it, personally. Popups are one thing, and Firefox takes care of those on its own. Banner ads, on the other hand, are not obtrusive, are not annoying, and don't slow your surfing down (on cable). Many web developers rely on advertisement income as a full time job, while others (like myself) count on a few banner hits to ease server costs for their website.; Like this Reply to this comment

"Back To Top" - If not "Best" at least great

Tab Mix Plus
by ranmamaru June 24, 2007 6:55 PM PDT: Before going to Firefox, I was a Slimbrowser user, because it had built in options for tabbed browsing that I found invaluable. While I was making the transition though, I found out that those options weren't present in Firefox by default, so I searched for an extension that did, and found Tab Mix Plus. The other extension I always have in my Firefox installations is NoScript to keep me safe.; Like this Reply to this comment
