I've been using Firefox for a while now without really using any addons - what would you recommend?


The only one I currently use is NoScript - very handy blocking tool.
 
Adblock Plus - turning it off is an unpleasant experience.
All-in-One Gestures
DownThemAll!
Firebug
FlashGot
PicLens

I can't see why NoScript is so popular! After hearing a lot about it I gave it a go.

It's annoying as hell! Having to unblock scripts every time you visit a 'new' website just to get the site to work properly gets very tedious, very quickly. Blocking JS globally on the off-chance that you stumble onto a dodgy site just seems like paranoia to me.
 
I'm sure we had a thread recently with loads of extensions in it?

edit: Well it wasn't that recent but this thread had quite a few in it.

I think the idea is so that any really common scripts such as google stuff will be deactivated in general and you can then activate scripts for a particular site to make it work. :)

Oh and off-topic but Vandyke or Cedars? :)
