How many firefox extensions do you use?

[Pollmaster]

For firefox users only. I suppose mozilla suite/Netscape users can join in too.

How many firefox extensions (not plugins) do you have installed?

[DigitalMan]

Might as well list 'em as I am the first vote:

ieview
adblock
switchproxy
disable targets
spoofstick
allow right click
tabbrowser preferences

Love 'em all.

[dog]

I use 9 total. (12 - if you want to count language libraries for Spellbound - English - Canada, UK, USA)

DOM Inspector, All-in-One Gestures, Bug Me Not, SpellBound, Tweak Network Settings, Disable Targets for DL's, Dictionary Search, Translate, Grease Monkey.

All were installled using the manual method.

Hi All, ;)

Just Curious?

How come nobody seems to use the BugMeNot extension? (except me)

I read the description once and I was not too sure which sites it worked with so I chose not to install it.

Once installed, just right click on the login area and select "BugMeNot" from the context menu, it will query the BugMeNot DB, then return the results and log you in. ;) ... it's a lot faster than having to do it all manually ...

[MikeBCda]

Just ShowImage so far -- it's handy for displaying images in their original placeholder, IE-style, rather than having to play the Ctrl-RightClick game and use a new tab.

And I'll definitely have to look at SpellBound as an "alter ego" replacement for ieSpell.

[herbalist]

I use Mozilla instead of Firefox, but have 8 entensions installed. One of the best ones I've seen is Policy Manager (http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_policymanager.html.en). It lets you set up multiple "zones", much like the trusted, internet, restricted zones in IE6, except it's much more flexible and can make as many differently configured zones as you want. Excellent Javascript control. A good addition to your security package.
The site asks you about installing Japanese characters. They're not needed for that particular page.
Also have these installed.
BBcode
Dictionary Search
Home Button
IE View
Switch Proxy
Unclose Tab
Webmail Compose

Unclose Tab gets used a lot, courtesy of my closing the wrong tabs repeatedly. ::)

i had it but i just uninstalled a few i didn't use, BugMeNot being one of them. i have 16 now.
Cutemenus. -eye candy
Autocopy. - instead of highlighting and picking copy, once it is highlighted it is Automaticly copyed to the clipboard.
Dictionarysearch.
Download Manager Tweak.
Download Staus Bar.
Forecastfox.
Foxytunes.
Gcache.
IEview.
Image Zoom.
Paste Quote.
QuickNote.
SessionSaver 2. one of my favourites 8)
TinyURLCreator.
User Agent Switcher.
WayBack.
Advanced Search Button - my favourite 8) 8) - you put a word in the google search box then click the button and the word in the box is highlighted on the page so you don't have to search for words on a page.

i just noticed i uninstalled Disable Targets for Downloads because it stopped working and forgot to reinstall it, has that happened to anyone else?

[iceni60]

here's a picture of Advanced Search Button.
1, put the word/s in the search box
2, push the find button
3, the word/s is/are highlighted on the page :)

Hi ;)

I only use three:AdBlock, Easy Gestures, UserAgentSwitcher.

AllInOneGestures I'd like to use and have in the past, but it seems there's some kind of problem which makes it hard for it to function alongside AdBlock on my system, don't know what's the culprit although...

So I reverted to EasyGestures, which is nice also (but I'd rather have AIOG), 'cause I believe AdBlock to be one of the most interesting extensions of all.

I might install an extension fo Zoom in the near future.

BTW, PasteAndGo I'd like to install also, but again, I experienced some compatibility problems so I had to renounce.

Finally, I'd like to mention, if you would allow me, that these functions (with the notable exception of AdBlock) are all features which have been Default-Enabled in Opera for years.

Rgds, OF

i just remembered how to do a search just like Advanced Search Button but without an extension.

Ctrl and F :lurking:

That's so slow.

Go to tools ,options,advanced. Check the box that says 'begin finding when you begin typing'.

Now you can find anything on the page, by just typing the word you are looking for and your cursor will jump to the portion of the page. No need to press clt and F

Another tip, press f3 to look for another instance of the word on the same page.

Been getting a sneaky popup ad the last few days, just turns up minimised on the taskbar.

[dog]

I'd like to add one to the list (original suggested by Guest - cluelessnewbie)

Rip (Remove it Permanently) - http://rip.mozdev.org/

-{ Quote: "Rip (Remove it Permanently) provides the ability to point at and remove permanently any item you can select. It provide a flexible and easily configurable solution to removing unwanted content from a web page.

If it is just image based ad's removal you are looking for I suggest you use the rather excellent (Ad Block) extension and download a good list of regular expression for this extension.

If on the other hand you want the power to choose what content you want removed, be it unwanted forms, text based ads or just areas of a page (or website) you don't want to see anymore, RIP is for you. " }-

I've been playing with it for about a day ... it's a really useful extension, and a good companion to AdBlock. ;)

Thanks - cluelessnewbie ... very nice find! ;)

[Antarctica]

I'm using only three:

"Adblock,SpoofStick and Switch Proxy"

[kwami]

I've got 40. I'm on FF1.0.1 with Win2000Pro and haven't had the conflicts others have mentioned.

abcTajpu 0.1 [for typing non-ASCII roman letters]
AdBlock 0.5.2.039
Add Bookmark Here 0.5.3
All-in-One Gestures 0.13.4
- I have Easygestures as well, but use AIOG for scrolling thru the tab history.
Autocopy 0.5.1
Autohide 0.9.8 [for true full screen]
Bookmark Backup 0.3.3
- This has saved my butt a couple times!
BugMeNot 0.6.1
ChromEdit 0.1.1.1
Disable Targets for Downloads 0.9 [prevents blank download screens]
Download Statusbar 0.9.2
- DISABLED, might uninstall. The pop-up statusbar is annoying.
EasyGestures 3.0
- Doesn't do everything AIOG does, but it's fun.
- If I can figure out how to rip AIOG programs for it (like Undo CloseTab) I'll be really happy.
- Anyone have any advice?
FireFTP 0.87
FlashGot 0.5.7.6
FoxyTunes 1.1.1
Gcache 0.2.1
Gmail Notifier 0.4.2
Image Zoom 0.1.9.20050126
- This version works alongside all the mouse gesture stuff.
Jump Link 1.3.1
- This would be really handy as an EG option!
Keyconfig 20050227
LastTab 1.1
- It would be nice if only some methods of closing tabs activated this.
LinkPreview 1.3
- Not useful; may uninstall soon.
Linky 2.4.0
Magpie 3.1.2
- Didn't need this with full AIOG, but do now that I'm using EG.
MenuEditor 1.1.20050310
Minesweeper 0.8
MiniT 0.5
Moji 7.7b [Japanese word & kanji dictionary]
- Not working at present, but better support than Babylon when it does.
Paste and Go 0.4.1
QuickNote 0.6
Scrollbar anywhere 0.7 [2-D mouse autoscrolling]
Session saver 0.2.1.027 enhanced w buttons [now with Undo CloseTab]
- If you don't have this, try it! It will save your work in the event of a crash,
- and is useful if you want to save a session to show someone later.
Show Image 0.3
Slim Extension List 0.1
- You need this with 40 extensions!
Stop-or-Reload Button 0.1
Super DragAndGo 0.2.4d1
SwitchProxy Tool 1.3.1
TripleSelect 1.5
User Agent Switcher 0.6.3
- Never used, but thought it might come in handy someday.
WebmailCompose 0.6

Seems like a lot, I know, and it slows down new windows, so I force everything I can to open in tabs. But most of these I use regularly; some rarely, but they're really handy when i do need them; and a few rarely because I haven't yet gotten used to having them around (like QuickNote).

I'd like to try MediaPlayerConnectivity, but v 0.2.0 doesn't seem to work on my system. I'll install GetFileSize if it's ever updated for FF1.0.1, and may reinstall View Cookies.

Rip looks interesting - I'll have to try it!

[Security Freak]

absolutly nothing,one day i install network tweaking extension but i not note any increase in my load or speed surfing,i uninstall and never download another extension.

[abhi_mittal]

AdBlock
Gmail Notifier
Cute Menus
Nuke This
Forecast Fox
FoxyTunes
FlashGot
Groowebar
Tabbed Browser Preferences

[sweater]

I have Fifteen extensions, and here is the partial shots:

[nod32.9]

four.

[ErikAlbert]

Three :
AdBlock (never saw a popup ad again)
ForecastFox (just enough weather info)
NoScript (sometimes good, sometimes annoying)
I'm still reading (and translating) these extensions and I have other priorities, right now. So anything is possible in the future. :)

[eyes-open]

I was at 22 when I voted - but I just uninstalled a few and some more will be redundant when I move to Firefox 1.5.

Adblock
Advanced Highlighter Button
BBCode
Google Preview
Image Zoom
Spoofstick
Chrome Edit
Reload Every
Smiley Xtra
Minimize to Tray
Pref Buttons
Allow Right Click (can let you get round some page restrictions)
ScrapBook
Googlebar
StumbleUpon Toolbar (see note below)
Sage
Cookie Culler
X (for clearing some or all of the options in the Privacy menu from the toolbar)
No Script (this is a great way to see/control individual javascript permissions on sites).

I would have got rid of Stumble Upon - but the first day I tried it, it took me to this site. Some of the postcards may be hard to read and the term Pathos doesn't even begin to cover - so be aware before clicking it contains adult emotions/dreams & fears:-http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

So every now & then I fire it up and travel to a few places I would probably miss out on otherwise.

[BP999]

Magpie
Spoofstick
Adblock

Flashgot
Adblock Filterset G Updater

Actually, w my fifteen present extensions... i was still thinking and on the process of searching and adding more. W its lots of extensions, i could not browse to see and check them all. :o

I was thinking then, that maybe some of this extensions can affect net speed? ???

[Ailric]

This is what I got:

[rdsu]

-{ Quote: "I was thinking then, that maybe some of this extensions can affect net speed? ???" }-
Not specifically the speed, but the stability of the browser that compromise his global behavior... ;)

I only use what I need and see that aren't affect that stability...
Until now...

[Tassie_Devils]

Mine....

[Tassie_Devils]

Actually I am surprised, out of all the lists here, NoScript only featured 4 times [myself included].

I find NoScript to be very helpful [though as Erik did point out it 'can' be a tad annoying when you quickly want to do something and then have to either 'Allow/Temporarily Allow' the site to run scripts, but a small price to pay IMO.]

Not that this is 'wrong' of course with so few listed, just thought there would be more, that's all. :-\

TAS :)

PS: Firesomething is cool, rename FF to set/or rotating various names, just a bit of eyecandy.

I don't need this extension, and it's really annoying...

How have some of you managed to paste the images of your extensions?

[steverio]

-{ Quote: "

A screen capture utility. I could of used mine (http://www.hyperionics.com/) but didn't.

[Tassie_Devils]

OT for a sec guys to help Norman...

There are many many applications out there Norman that allow you to 'capture' your screen/window/multiple windows, etc.

Some are free/paid.

However, if you want to get started straight up 'free' check this post out here:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=63957

OR, get a third party utility and probably one of the most popular out there FREE.... go to http://www.irfanview.com/ download install..

but during installation, I would not let it FILE ASSOCIATE with any known extensions, like jpg, bmp, gif, etc. because if you want to do a Picture/Fax view of pics, etc, and you assoicate those files with IfranView, then when you dbl click on them the program will load and it wil open up in there.

During installation read everything, and you should see where it says *something like* "Let IfranView associate these file types...." that's where you UNcheck them if some are checked... if you want to open a file via IfranView, simply open the program and 'File Open....' option ;)

I also use the same proggy as Steverio's.. brilliant, but not free.... i love the 'multiple' windows, and especially the 'scroll window' capture which can scroll and capture a very long window.

hth... TAS
