Firefox extensions
These are the firefox extensions I use today. I hope some of them are as useful for you as they are for me. If you know any extensions I should not have left out or think that one of the below is outdated just leave a comment..
- adblock plus: ad blocker
- cookiesafe: control cookie persmissions from within the statusbar.
- customizegoogle: enhance google search results by adding extra information and remove ads and spam.
- download statusbar: nice download manager
- tagsifter: tag your bookmarks. finally bookmarks become useable..
- update scanner: monitors webpages for updates which still don’t provide rss feeds
- mitm me: bypass the very annoying ssl errors introduced in firefox3 with a single click.
- gtranslate: translates the selected text via google translate
- keyconfig: nice key configuration. Personally I use it to configure the forward and back keys.
- noscript: allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by web sites of your choice.
- fasterfox: performance and network tweaks for firefox
- unplug: download flash movies easily (for firefox3 there is no “official” but a “modded” version which just alters the version check).
- add n edit cookies: cookie editor that allows you add and edit session and saved cookies
- bugmenot: bypass annoying web registrations with the context menu (input from ).
- refcontrol: control what gets sent as http referer on per-site basis.
- tab mix plus: has a very rich (not to say bloated) feature set. Currently I use the multi row tab feature and the closed tabs icon (which is way better than the default one).
- firebug: edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live
- safecache: defends against cache-based tracking techniques but is currently only available for firefox2.
- safehistory: defends against visited-link-based tracking techniques but is also only available for firefox2.
