What Firefox Extensions do you use?

Options
Was just wondering what everyone uses. I've use a few but wouldn't mind finding a few more if anyone has any decent suggestions.

One's I find great so far are:

Screen Grab
IE View
Html Tidy
Web Developer
Gmail Notifier
Ad Block
Sage (Rss reader)

    If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.

    I don't want to bog down my Firefox with lots of extensions so I have created different profiles:

    'Webby' has web developer, colourzilla, fireFTP and some other useful ones for manipulating web pages

    'Downloader' has flashgot and a few other bits for download large amounts fast


    My normal profile has:

    scrapbook
    sage
    IEview
    flashblock
    Image zoom
    foxytunes
    Ajax for yahoo mail (just downloaded - really liking)

    in addition i have Nightly Tester Tools extenstion because I'm running 1.5 beta and it's the only way to get my other extensions to work (website not working at time of writing - and only the one from that website is 1.5 ready)

    Anyone who uses yahoo mail give Ajax for yahoo mail a try

    You can then read mail and reply directly from the inbox - Not had it long but seems very cool

    What does web developer do?

    Adds loads of tools for web development. It has loads of css, image, form options etc... Plus you can set the size of the window (handy for testing resolutions without having to change your screen resolution).

    It also has links for validating html, css, links. You can outline elements on a pge to see how it's made up etc... loads of stuff. Is very good.

  • I use something called SA Last read, it was written for another forum I go on and has tonnes of features, like highlighting topics you've posted in red, and unread topics blue etc
  • I downloaded the stumble! extension. It's really really good. You can set your own preferences & when you click it it takes you to other websites you might never have found before. I have come across some brilliant ones (According to my preferences i set) & I would highly recommend it, especially if you want to waste a bit of time ;)
  • Tabbrowser Preferences
    FLST - Focus Last Selected Tab
    SessionSaver
    DOM Inspector - part of standard Firefox download, installed by custom install
    JavaScript Debugger - Venkman
    Web Developer - https://www.chrispederick.com
    IE View
  • another vote for the following extensions:

    Forecastfox
    AdBlock
    Image Zoom
    FlashBlock
