Cool Firefox Add-Ons

[thegreatgate]

Anyone have any favorite Firefox add-ons? I'm in the market for adding some new features...

I have a few that I really like:

NoScript = for security - blocks scripts, can easily allow scripts to run, but some may find it a hassle.
Flashblock = blocks Flash vidoes, can easily allow Flash that you want to view though, some may find it a hassle.
Duplicate Tab = make a duplicate tab of the one you are currently on.
Image Zoom = zoom in and out of pictures, very handy for charts and other stuff.
Perspectives = for security
ReloadEvery = can possibly be dangerous! when using it on a website for placing an order of some type, for example.
NetVideoHunter - just installed it, don't know how good it is. Should be able to save videos from sites like YouTube and Hulu.com with it.

Thanks. I added Image Zoom and it is amazing. Anyone reading this with Image Zoom you can simply place your cursor over an image (or a stock chart) and right click, and zoom in up to 400%. It is really cool for stock charts if you really want to zoom in on a certain area of the chart.

I've also got "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar" which allows second and third rows for bookmarks/folders....

Then "NoSquint" is a little magnifying glass on the bottom right of my screen which allows me to easily adjust text size and zoom level for any website.

"WeatherBug" shows up in the upper right of firefox and gives an accurate 3-day forecast for whatever city you live in.

I downloaded a bunch of Firefox themes today but am using "GlowyGold" at the moment, I can switch at any time.

Firefox is awesome! I have a bunch more but the above are what I recommend....

I'm still on Firefox V.2, so 3 may have these implemented now, I don't know.

But I have "New Tab Button on Tab Bar" which makes it easy to add a new tab with the click of a button rather than having to go File ---> New Tab.

I have the "Download Status Bar" which puts download progress down in the bottom status bar rather than a separate window.

I also have "1 Click Weather". Though I'm guessing you can figure out what that does.

Cool Iris is also very cool. I haven't found it to be particularly affective or helpful, it's just plain cool.
