Ok, so right now, I'm using two different Firefox addons.

The first is called 'Answers,' and with it you press alt+click on any word and it brings up a definition! It doesn't just work with one word either, you can search for names of celebrities and it gives you a quick bio of them! It's a really cool addon.

The second is a leetspeak converter for while you're typing. Here check it out. 1'm n0w 7yp1n6 1n |337 47 7h3 5p33d 1 u5u4||y 7yp3 83(4u53 1'm n07 831n6 w316h3d d0wn 8y 4(7u4||y d01n6 7h3 45(1n1n3 4(7 0f 7yp1n6 1n |337.

And that was all done by pressing ctrl+shift+L and typing whatever I felt like.

So, I was wondering what Firefox addons everyone has, share them here with a short description!!!

I will definitely have to check some of these out. Answers, fasterfox, noscripts, and video downloader seem interesting.

And yeah, downthemall! is definitely great!

I haven't got any add ons with my firefox except for the updates with newer versions. I've been meaning to take a look at all the add ons. I've been wanting to download a different theme.

I don't use Firefox, but I do have Fasterfox for it. That's it though. Right now I'm using Flock, which is fairly recent and isn't quite too well known yet, so there aren't very many Extensions yet(only 3). Hopefully it gets some more by summer next year.

Well, the add-ons for Firefox either do something that's for convenience(like answers, one click defining of words) or for fun(like the Leet speak translator) Other than that, there are Themes which make Firefoc look prettier(I'm using BlackJapanMAX or something like that).

I use 2 plugins...sorta.

I use Adblock, and it's really useful when you want to block ads and stuff. Like those annoying Flash ads. The problem with it, I suspect, is that it may block some images. There were pictures that people have posted that I couldn't see.

I also use the Download Status Bar. Basically, instead of opening a window like Firefox normally does, it creates a little bar on the bottom of the screen that lists all of the downloads, and you can control if you want to pause, stop, or restart downloads. You can also open the files from there(but it removes the download from the bar).

Another one I use isn't exactly a plugin. I kinda edited Firefox(or something) and it made downloading pages and stuff go much, much faster. The downside is, though, that it takes up much more memory to run it. I'm basically forced to close the browser every few days.

Also, for themes, I'm currently using BlueShift.

Wow, fasterfox really does help. I don't really like any of the themes though, they all seem to add extra stuff I don't need.

I'm really digging the Answers Add-on. The FasterFox and Video Downloader don't work with the latest version of Firefox though. I don't really want to downgrade to be able to use them.

That might be why I didn't notice a difference with Fasterfox.... Yea, Answers is amazing, it's helping me especially on this board when I feel like using a word, but can't remember how to spell it. I just Alt+click and it tells me the correct spelling if I spelled it wrong.

Inline Google Definitions is good too, and it works very quickly and painlessly as well.
Here's the link.
Anyone use the gmail space extension? I have it, but I haven't really tried it, anyone know how well it works?

I use a lot of extensions for Firefox
  • Adblock - Filters ads from web-pages
  • No Tab Close Button - Adds a Close Tab button to the toolbar
  • DownThemAll! - The mass downloader for Firefox
  • FireFTP - FTP Client for Mozilla Firefox
  • FireFTP button - [Alternative] Toolbar button for FireFTP
  • FoxyTunes - Control any media player from Firefox and more...
  • Google Calendar Notifier - This extesion provides robust notifications and display of your Google Calendars for today, as well as showing any upcoming all day events for tomorrow
  • Greasemonkey - A User Script Manager for Firefox
  • Tab To Window - Opens a tab in a new window
  • IE Tab - Enables you to use the embedded IE engine within Mozilla/Firefox
  • VideoDownloader - Download videos from Youtube, Google, Metacafe, iFilm, Dailymotion... and other 60+ video sites ! And all embedded objects on a webpage (movies, mp3s, flash, quicktime, etc)

I also use some different themes:

I hope I didn't post too many. I like to have my Firefox do a lot of things. I often have 2 windows(one for each monitor) and multiple tabs in each. I like to multi-task!

PS: Thunderbird is good too!
