Have a favorite extension that’s not listed? Let me know!
great…i donwload one of those…
:P
I’ve had the Web Developer toolbar/menu for quite a while now and it has come in quite handy on a daily basis. I highly recommend this feature to all, even if you’re not a Web Developer, it helps you work around issues you may come across from time to time. It’s also great if you’re a novice web designer and need quick reference tools for handy lil jobs.
“Two Thumbs Up!”

does the fasterfox really work?
oh Thank HEAVEN for the stop autoplay. blah! :/
nice list man! heres some more that I always liked to have that may be usefull for other people, feel free to add it to your list
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/271/ — Colorzilla
- has color chart thats easy to find the color you’re looking for, and a color picker to find the color of something on a page
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/539/ — Measure It
- lets ya measue anything on a page like a ruler.. comes in handy with the edit css in web developer and when you’re making some overlays
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/491/ — BBcodeXtra
- works perfect for forum people to paste html or bbcodes easily
View Source Chart
addons.mozilla.org/firefox/655/
Save yourself from the agony of MySpace’s hierarchical mark-up puzzle. View the source code visually.
This is quite a list, and very useful too.
May I suggest FoxyTunes? It lets you control your media player (almost all of them are supported) while using Firefox, without having to switch windows. Similar to the Windows Media Player and iTunes toolbar that you can put on your taskbar, but more complex.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/219/
Btw, you have an empty bullet point.
Great List… Thanks!
Stay away from Fasterfox, more extensions make FF run slower.

hi James
and foxytunes is only one click away from lyrics to sing together while listening :)
i was suprised i didnt see platypus on this site. well this program is absolutely great. its pretty much an add-on that allows you to fully customize a page by doing watever you want with it. for example if you are on a page and theres a spot on that page for ads and its annoying you can remove it using the toolbar. but this add-on requires greasemonkey because its considered a script when saved.
FYI,
Theres a new Firefox extension called “Bring The Porn”. Kind of like Stumbleupon but with lots more features for porn. You can scrape media clips and save them to your online gallery - amongst other cool things. Check it out:

Yeah great list! i’ve already half of them!
I confirm; webdeveloper and firebug are amazing!
You could try “Cooliris previews”, it allows to preview links without opening a new tab or window!
very useful!
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2207
And in the same kinf of IE TAB there’s OperaView…sadly it doesn’t open the link in the same window but open the same link in the opera browser…
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1190
please add this one for others…
myspace.com#div(id=RealNameModule)
it removes the damn box that says “you havent put in your real name” or whatever.
