My Top Firefox Extensions

1. Original del.icio.us extension

Keep, share and discover all your favorite things. This is the “classic” official extension for del.icio.us, updated to work with Firefox 2.0.

Adds two buttons (next to the home icon) to quickly a bookmark a web page and access your del.ico.us account page. (There is also a Yahoo! version of the extension which adds your del.icio.us bookmarks to Firefox)

2. Flashblock

Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won’t get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it.

Works really well for blocking annoying Flash adverts and helps when you vist Flash video sites with multiple tabs open.

3. Adblock

Once installed, it’s a snap to filter elements at their source-address. Just right-click: Adblock: done. Filters use either the wildcard character (*) or full Regular Expression syntax. Hit the status-element and see what has or hasn’t been blocked.

Not too useful on its own, but combine it with the next extension and you’ll rarely see an (image-based) advert again.

4. Adblock Filterset.G Updater

This is a companion extension to Adblock or Adblock Plus and should be used in conjunction with it. This extension automatically downloads the latest version of Filterset.G every 4-7 days. Filterset.G is an excellent set of filters maintained by G for Adblock that blocks most ads on the internet.

5. Gmail Notifier

A notifier for Gmail accounts.

Adds an icon to the bottom status bar to notify you when you have new mail (can also popup a new message alert under Windows).

5. Web Developer

Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.

Very useful extension for anyone working in web development.
