The great 'best set of Firefox extensions' hunt

avantra

Thought I'd start a new thread dedicated to the most useful extensions.
Every few month I enter the Mozilla add-on website and find why this browser is so good.

I am not going to put a whole list of extensions here just what I find useful as I am sure most of the users already have their preferred add-on.

Just came across AutoPager and thought I'll share it.

AutoPager is a Firefox extension which automatically loads the next page of a site inline when you reach the end of the current page for infinite scrolling of content (It is working with MSE forums).

Please can you add links to your most useful add-ons as I find it slow to browse tons of extensions on the Mozilla web site.

And remember, too many extensions might slow FF.:beer:

Is it not simpliar to look on the Mozilla Addons site page where you can see what is "popular", "recommended" etc. and you get the complete picture.

adblock plus 2.0.2 ad blocker, the best one to use
flashgot 1.1.9.4 download management,
tabmixplus 0.3.7.3 adds features to tabs, also enables opening all links in your browser bookmarks 1 link to 1 tab.

NoScript is a must have. Stops any script running without you appoving it... can be a bit annoying at first while you approve your friendly sites, but stops those nasty xss and ad scripts running without you knowing.
