Extensions
I know quite a number of you use Firefox, and having been inspired by a discussion on the firefoxusers comm I thought I'd ask.
How many extensions do you use?
Do you have a favourite - one you'd find particularly hard to live without?
Is there an extension that you think should be more widely known?
What's the most useless extension you've used/come across?
Enabled Extensions: [23]
I think my favourite is Tab Mix Plus - it gives me such a lot of useful features, such as controlling how and where tabs open. I get very confused when I use Firefox without it.
I haven't heard a lot of people talking about Save Link/Image in Folder, but I find them incredibly useful. No more clicking up and down through directory trees to find the one you need for that kind of download - just right click and select from a list, icons here, wallpapers there, vids somewhere else.
I managed to find a hosts file early on that blocks a lot of the most annoying ad content, and I'm just not bothered by text ads - they're pretty easy to ignore. So I don't quite get the enthusiam for all the various blocking extensions Adblock, Flashblock etc. I'm sure a lot of people find them useful, but they leave me cold.
