Firefox extensions that are essential to me.

adblock – it blocks ads.

bugmenot – let’s you log into websites that require registration like the New York Times.

define word – look up words that your hoity toity friends use.

el jay icon maker – I’m a blogger and this is useful for turning that huge BMP your mom sent you of the baby into a 100×100 pixel icon.

fasterfox – it’s supposed to make things faster. I don’t know if it works or not.

flashblock – MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN ADBLOCK ABOVE. Flash powered pop-ups are viciously annoying. This turns flash off unless you scroll over the item and click.

fireftp – a decent FTP interface. I believe it supports sftp.

forecastfox – let’s you know when it’s going to rain.

hashcolouredtabs – really helpful if you open a ton of tabs like I do. if there’s not a icon defined by the webpage it will at least turn each tab a different color.

ieview – adds, “open this page in Internet Explorer” functionality to the right click menu.

print 0.2.2 – let’s ya print stuff.

sessionsaver – ESSENTIAL. If firefox dies this will save your last know place.

sort bookmarks – pretty useful.

stock ticker – it’s handy for keepting track of stocks.

switchproxy tool – if you work in a corporate environment this is useful.

targetalert – when you scroll over a link it will throw you an icon letting you know what kind of material the link goes to.

webmailcompose – let’s you deal with mailto: links with gmail.
