It’s a pain to find Firefox extensions, there are just too danged many of them. Firefox is too popular for its own good? :> Anyway, here are mine, so I don’t have to dig around anymore. I guess my grandkids will make fun of me for clutching desperately to my frames and old Scritti Politti albums… it’s a fate I accept…
UPDATE: Warning, you might want to hold off on Firefox 2.0, there are very few extensions for it yet…
- AdBlock Plus
- IE View
- QuickFrame
- Find in Frame Hack
- Tab Mix Plus
- ForecastFox
- Sitebar Client for Firefox
- Sage
- keyconfig
Super-automatic and I’ve never seen it make a mistake.
Lets you load pages in IE with a single right-click, or mark certain sites to *always* load in IE. Useful for incompatible pages, or cross-browser testing.
Allows quick access to frame functions via the context menu by overriding “Reload”, “View Page Source” and “View Page Info”. Instead of being applied to the main window, those functions now do the same as the corresponding functions in the “This Frame” submenu, which is the a intuitive “context” for the context menu.
After a left click somewhere in a frame, the regular find function (see ctrl+F) will start finding from the place of the click.
After a middle button click, the finding will be started from the top of the clicked frame.
Tab Mix Plus enhances Firefox’s tab browsing capabilities. It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes a full-featured session manager with crash recovery that can save and restore combinations of opened tabs and windows.
Get international weather forecasts from AccuWeather.com, and display it in any toolbar or statusbar with this highly customizable and unobtrusive extension.
Adds a Sidebar with the Sitebar application in it. MY choice for globally accessible bookmarks! See my server here. The biggest problem with this is defining a keyboard shortcut, everything seems to be a conflict – see keyconfig below. I ended up using Ctrl+Alt+- and Ctrl+Alt+=, they seem to do fine.
Sage is a lightweight RSS and Atom feed aggregator extension for Mozilla Firefox. It’s got a lot of what you need and not much of what you don’t. (M: Actually I’ve switched to bloglines.com)
For some extremely annoying reason this is not listed as a normal extension. Worth digging for, it shows you all assigned keyboard shortcuts, and lets you reassign and disable them. There are A LOT!
